There can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign oppressive British presence is removed, leaving all the Irish people as a unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally and economically.
Oh and the English weren’t murdering scum?
I don’t expect you to know the history......
.....I don’t expect you to question that you’ve only ever heard one side of the story.
But I would have thought you might realise the situation was far more nuanced than they were just terrorist scum.
I think the point of the thread was about us collectively allowing our rights and liberties to be shat on. We don’t stand up for anything except by virtue signaling, or ranting on social media if it doesn’t censor us.
I know a damn sigh more about the history and have far more first hand experience of The Troubles and how they affected people than YOU ever will.
You're right, they weren't just terrorists; they were racketeering shysters as well who controlled their respective communities in a brutal manner. They used their 'positions' within their communities to generate huge profits for themselves through extortion, drug and gun running and tolerated no dissention at all.' They glorified their 'cause' to justify their control and used fear and intimidation as a weapon on their own people.
It's folk like you that hark back to events in past history that keep conflicts going.
Really? And how would you know that?
Do have family that were caught up in that mess?
You talk about me making assumptions, why were you asking the OP how old they were and where they’re from?
Good to see a heartfelt post from you, if only you would see that our government did more or less the same thing with using fear and intimidation over covid,....
But in other threads you dismiss the WEF and there ilk as nothing to look at. Why do you always ignore these things, yet when it comes to which puppet will lead the conservatives your full of opinions?
Also where did I claim to know anything about you?
Where are you getting the idea that I’m justifying the actions of the IRA from?
It's folk like you that hark back to events in past history that keep conflicts going.
I just don't think there is some nefarious, long standing plan for a Great Reset.
I think vested interests try to manipulate situations for their own benefit and to maintain the status quo....but not to the extent that many believe.
