Or English troops killing your family, just because you happen to be Irish. Or, English settlers putting a price tag on your head, just because you're an aborigine living in Tasmania.

Look, Ian, the brits have fucked so many millions of people up their arse over the years, they shouldn't cry murder too loud when somebody shoots back.
I don't say it's right what the IRA did, but there are a lot of people could say the same about you when you say "I'm proud to be Brit."
