For those of you without close ties to Ireland, the Bogside is the traditionally Catholic neighborhood in Derry (/LondonDerry), which has always been the place where rebellion was fermented. It's what Berkeley California would be if all the university professors carried kalashnikovs concealed under their coats, and made car bombs in their spare time.
Technically it's in Britain not the Republic of Ireland, but that territorial distinction has only been in place for about 500 years so they haven't recognized it yet either. If those fellas get it in their heads that the Germans really are their masters, I can't imagine they'll take well to it.

Sinn Fein/IRA are nothing but criminal scum bags. Think of the Mafia and you are not far wrong.
Mind you the protestants up in the North are hyproctics. When our economy was collapsing, they thought it quite funny. Yet, because of Irish government intervention, we're keeping them bastards up and running.
I'm not under any romantic illusions on that score. Charlie Feeney the American Billionaire who bought them off is an old family friend. I know what they're really about.
I was only trying to make a point about the stickiness of nationalist sentiment that remains in Europe in spite of all efforts by the progressives to eliminate it.
