class="body"><p>Pro-Brexit British politicians have heavily criticised Ireland due to fears it may block the start of the next phase of EU negotiations over the country's sensitive border.</p><p>Dublin and other EU member states are set to decide this month if Britain has made sufficient progress in three key areas of the talks -- the border issue, the country's exit bill and the rights of expatriate citizens.</p><p>In the run-up to the crucial decision, the rhetoric from people anxious for an agreement has become increasingly incendiary against their former colony.</p><p>"The South needs to wind its neck in," wrote Northern Ireland's former first minister Peter Robinson, in a post on Facebook last week.</p><p>Irish politicians "have taken to lecturing the UK" and should adopt a "more positive and accommodating approach," he added.</p><p>The Sun tabloid adopted an even angrier tone: "Ireland's naive young prime minister should shut its gob on Brexit and grow up."</p><p>Prime Minister "Leo Varadkar may not like Brexit but he needs to accept it's happening," the newspaper said.</p><p>Gerard Batten, a member of the European Parliament from the UK Independence Party, tweeted: "UK threatened by Ireland. A tiny country that relies on UK for its existence."</p><p>Batten's message, posted on November 26, elicited hundreds of indignant responses from other Twitter users.</p><p>- Irish 'a bit petty' -</p><p>Ireland's insistence in Brexit negotiations that there can be no return to a hard border on the island has generated other reactions on social media, including ugly historical references. </p><p>"Oh bring back Cromwell, he understood how to deal with the Irish," one Twitter user wrote in response to a news article on the topic.</p><p>Oliver Cromwell led British forces sent to conduct a brutal conquest of Ireland in the 17th century.</p><p>Britain's right-wing newspapers have also joined in.</p><p>"Ireland and the EU need to stop using the border as a stick to beat us with," the headline of an editorial in the Daily Telegraph newspaper said last month.</p><p>In the war of words, pro-Brexit UK lawmaker Kate Hoey warned Dublin that there would be consequences if the talks stall this month.</p><p>"If this ends up with a no deal, we won't be putting up the border, they'll have to pay for it," she told a BBC interviewer, echoing US President Donald Trump's controversial campaign comments that Mexico pay for building a wall on America's southern border.</p><p>The escalating rhetoric is "worrying", wrote Jennifer O'Connell of the Irish Times in a recent column.</p><p>She said that "the work done by the hard Brexiteers... trying to position the border question as an Irish problem seems to be paying off".</p><p>O'Connell highlighted a video from Britain's Channel 4 News that went viral in which Britons were asked to draw the actual borderline between the Irish republic and Northern Ireland -- with little success.</p><p>The interviewees were then asked their feelings about the Brexit negotiations, which elicited responses like "the Irish are just making trouble" and accusations of being "a bit petty".</p> <div
