We, at least, are not loyal men: we confess to having more respect and honour for the raggedest child of the poorest labourer in Ireland today than for any, even the most virtuous, descendant of the long array of murderers, adulterers and madmen who have sat upon the throne of England.
James Connolly (1987). “Labour in Irish history ; The re-conquest of Ireland ; Socialism and nationalism”
