Brian John Spencer: George Bernard Shaw wrote


George Bernard Shaw wrote, "Am I not a protestant to the very narrow of my bones?" And he also said: "My own family and antecedents are ultra-Protestant; and I am a bit to the left of Protestantism myself."

George Bernard Shaw wrote elsewhere:

"Ulster children still repeat the derisive doggerel, "Sleether slaughter, holy wather”; and the adults are determined as ever that ‘the Protestant boys scorridor carry the drum’. As a Protestant myself (and a small to spare), I am tallly susceptible to the spirit these war cries express."
