Re: Movie: The Wind that Shakes the Barley
"The Magdalene Sisters" would be an example of the traitorous instinct at work on Irish institutions. It is partly the 68er mentality that it is the duty of right thinking people to smash existing structures. Mary Robinson and Bono's "little Black babies" fetish is part of this. They look around Ireland and think it is not nearly modern enough; it could do with a lick of paint and few thousand Nigerians to jolly up the place a bit. I admit I have a strong streak of West Brit in me, but not of the new variety. Anyway, I think I prefer having France rather than England as "the other country".
