And you don't have a clue about anything at all. You're British and Irish...SO WHAT? You're still nothing but an ignorant know-it-all who rants about the murder of women and children when it was the murder of innocent women & children by Brits that forced the Provos into a guerilla war. When peaceful civil rights marches are met with batons and bullets you have no option but to take up arms and fight. You have a lot of balls calling anyone else ignorant. What's your solution to Ballymurphy?
@MrBmw714 So you believe that killing innocent women & children is the way to achieve political goals? Good for you. I don't. I happen to be both British & Irish & a Catholic & I happen to have great sympathy for the Republican cause. You don't have a clue who I am from one YouTube comment. I'm well aware of the anti-Catholic atmosphere in the 1960s in NI. Keep ignorant brother.
@shahideurope Now is in NI more protestans then catolics after hundreds years of occupation. Why the pool wasnt in whole Ireland, not only in Northern Ireland?
@Duklafan You're wrong. It was fantastic. If your precious Papal Guard Southern Irish government hadn't bottled out like the lazy, inbred alcoholics they are, we wouldn't have had to send troops in and wipe your arses for you. Dumb Mick!
As a Brit & an Irish Catholic many generations ago, I see both sides. I'm all for the Irish cause, knowing that Protestants would be treated equally in a Catholic Ireland. However, how people can support the IRA amazes me. Supported by the ignorant in America who have no idea what NI is all about, giving money that ended up in Libya. Happy about that? Terrorism achieved what exactly? What a complete waste of time & lives.
It's was the actions or the IRA the provos in particular that made the Brits realize they had to talk to the Nationalists or their never would be peace! Without the IRA the situation in NI would be the same as in 69 today!
You don't see the insanity of leaving bombs in public areas. indiscriminately killing the innocent, women & children & those sympathetic to your cause as a pointless act? Even the campaigns in mainland Britain did very little to change British attitudes. Most of the British public don't care one way or the other about a united Ireland. The politicians are the only ones who are interested.
I didn't say I agreed with all their methods! Like I said before it was these acts that made the British establishment realize they had to listen to the voice of the Nationalists!
Nobody cares what you or the British public think. All anyone ever wanted from you was to admit to the horrendous murders you have commited in NI. Arrest those who commited them. Then get the hell out of NI and take your false border with you. The real insanity here is that you fail to realize who the actual terrorists are. You sound as if you get your logic from British gossip tabloids. There would have been no peace process without the actions of the Provos.
It's people like you who amaze me. The terrorism of the Brits & Loyalist is why the IRA gained support in N.I.
The IRA was all but history in the late 60's. But then Catholics were beaten with batons while peacefully marching for equality. People were murdered in their homes by the RUC. Children shot and killed with plastic bullets. Ballymurphy & Bloody Sunday murdering of innocents by Brit Paras and the attempted cover up by your government. That's where IRA support began.
they shouldn't have been there in the first place. if the RUC couldnt take on the protesters then they would have granted civil rights and there would have been no need for the IRA's 25year campaign
republican is just another term used for nationalist. catholics are nationalists in the meaning that they want to be united with the republic of ireland....as they well should be............UP THE RA.....you have huge support all throughout the northeast united states
THERE SHOULD BE A BATLE OF THE BOG SIDE COMMERATION MARCH THROUGH PRODISTANT AREAS
