Yeah and the Irish are unofficially the "paddys" or the "stupid Irish" which is a throw back from the way it was nearly 2 hundred years ago between the English and the Irish but I personally have never encountered this type of subtle racism whenever I am around English people. I really think all this kind of silliness is fading out with each new generation. I think the bonds of the EU are also contributing to a sense that we all are EU siblings with eachother and that there is strength in numbers and being part of a larger extended community as opposed to being arrogant, alone and isolated.

Yeah and I know it's a pain the way there are still visa and passport restrictions for travelling between UK & Ireland and the rest of the EU. But I can see why they do have to be a bit more careful at filtering and checking all flow of travellers to these countries as they act like the outernmost boundary of the EU community and as a portal to the USA for example.
