Nationality
[edit]I edited this article to add McDonnell's UK nationality, but now an Irish nationalist editor has censored mention of this. This is extremely petty. Why the need to censor facts about which editors are uncomfortable. McDonnell is a UK citizen and the article should say so, unless there is evidence to demonstrate that he has revoked it.

The man is Irish, has Irish citizenship. Belfast Agreement and all that. Just because you're an imperialist Unionist does not mean everyone else in Ireland is. Imagine the following: A politician, born in Ireland, nationalist in perspective - could he possibly be Irish? That sounds remarkable. Assuming you live in the north, if you find the thought of Irish people up there reprehensible....move to Britain.
