Interviewer: How do you feel about Ireland? Do you think of yourselves as being Irish in any way?

Paul McCartney: No, not really. I’m British. You know, I was born in Britain and that, and the song is written from a British point of view, you know. It's a ... I've had people saying we should, we shouldn't go talking if you're not Irish, but the point is the British army that's causing the trouble, not, not the Irish, you know. The Irish got taken over about 800 years ago, a little bit of it, by the British, you know. They injected British people into there and made it a little bit of Britain.But I .. I have always thought of it all as one place, Ireland, you know.

Interviewer: But it's one island, anyway.

Paul McCartney: Yeah, but I mean I see the trouble now being that certain people, you know, think that .. that the British shouldn't be there, and if they are there, they certainly shouldn't be shooting the Irish people, you know. And I think they shouldn't be, you know. It's a bit much.

Interviewer: You think the British should .. should get out.

Paul McCartney: Yeah, you know, eventually, that's what I think. Yeah.
