Well, I have a good idea why some of those who are expatriate 
Celts are even more anti-Brittish than those who are still
in their homeland.

Consider this:
	A lot of their ancestors were THROWN out.
	(Or fled for their lives)

Being tossed out on your ear does put a different light on 
things, and from what I gather, this belief may be
transmitted down the generations. <My own parents weren't much
for hate mongering, but some of the relatives were a bit
on the extreme side.>


I'm not particularly anti-Brittish myself (or even
pro Celt), but I can understand from what I've heard why at least some
expatriate Celts might tend toward the extreme.  
That's how they were trained, from childhood.
