I don't think so at all.

He said he was 'Irish' as if it mattered to the debate (when in fact it does not)

If it didn't matter to you, why did you go on a mad tirade about it?

an assured sense of its own grandeur.

This is what got my goat, and whoever cried Racsim is barking up the wrong tree.

It was a general remark, and implicitly but specifically referenced Britain, Spain and Germany, not just Britain as you seem to have thought.

I don't need lectures from a people who actively supported Fascism ( as far back as Spain and the 'Irish Brigades' Military support of Franco, whom they fought for).

Not all irish people are active members of the IRA or whatever organisation it is you hate.
