There is no anti Irish racism in the UK. The Irish have migrated and been working here for a long time.
I have never once seen any anti-irish racism anywhere in UK.
Everybody knows Irish jokes. However, they are not vindictive and Irish comedians use them too.
Since the Irish do not constitute a "race", the no. You need to find out what racism means, and it has nothing to do with religion or national identity, but everything to do with skin color. You are referring to bigotry, not racism.
Some examples: 40 years ago renting London landlords used to put a notice on the door, "No Irish." Some milkmen would refuse to deliver to Irish families "because they rarely paid the bill."
being anti Irish is Not Racists I just hate Drunks
There is none,perhaps many moons ago,but the UK is one of the least racist nations on earth.
Do not confuse mickey taking which is a form of endearment,with racism which is abhorant
The Irish are the main reason that there are no bins on the tube. They used to put their bombs in them in the 1970s.
"some examples of media representation and politicians' anti-Irish statements" Good luck with that one, as there are not any
Congratulations. You have just put yourself on GCHQ / Special Branch lists.
Also, probably attracted the attention of the Security & Intelligence Unit of An Garda Síochána (Police Intelligence)
Have a look at this wee film of a paramilitary anti Irish Catholic march in Glasgow.
As you can see such events receive police protection.
