  • up the provos..super army..

  • Fuck the IRA!

  • Gerry Adams has one of those perplexing faces that's oddly never and yet always smiling. Look at it again. Do it.

  • Adams is God

  • Gerry is trying to be a Nelson mandella. He wouldent be fit to clean that mans shoes.

    Your campaign was pure religious tribalism,you were told you be up before the Hauge for crimes against humanity.Them poor uneducated wee lads absorbing all that sickness,you were doing your bosses work for them divide and conquer!!

    Sorry for being truthful!!!

  • @humanity1798 Shouldnt that be you are sorry for speaking your opinion which you are entitled to.Religous tribalism.Yawn.I take it you were born in the UK and believe everything your media has told you.

  • @humanity1798 I think that the former terrorist Nelson Mandela would have more familiarity with shining shoes than our Gerry. Now go get your fucking shine box.

  • Can anyone tell me who your man at 1.44 is? Thanks in advance 

  • @MrCsharpMajor Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, former leader of Republican Sinn Féin, the political front of dissident group the Continuity IRA.

  • America needs heroes like the heroic and Patriotic Gerry Adams!!!

  • This piece of shit needs a bullet in his head just like all the rest of the terrorist scum . burn in hell you piece of filth .

  • @dave2806 that now dave, is why the war has lasted so long as it has. You are obtuse. You are everything that N.Ireland rejects. The People - and I do mean ALL the people of Ireland deserve the chance for peace. People like you are a tumour that need to be amputated. Everyone in N.Ireland has suffered. It's time to move forward. It's time for change.  We can remember the past but we must leave it behind and move on. This is an unpresidented opportunity. Let's not waste it.

  • @fallzskin this man is a terrorist and a murderer of his own people . he laughs at democratic change , its not in his interest . he is a piece of filth and an enemy to both side that want change and peace . you want peace then shout this scum .

  • @dave2806 You are misguided. Gerry Adams has never killed anyone let alone murdered anyone. And terrorist? Look the definition of that word up in the oxford dictionary before you spew it out. The powers that be are all too happy to use that word to justify their crimes against civil liberty and human rights. They use terror to subdue a minority that they claim as their citizens. Though it goes against everything I believe - I'm willing to give the politicions a chance. You should do the same

  • @fallzskin he is far to much of a coward to do his own fighting , he just puts the guns in the killers hands and then washes them ! he is a terrorist alright

  • @dave2806 give it a rest kid. IF you wanna go there, then think about the consecutive british governments that actively participated in the arming and training of paramilitary murder gangs - such as the Shankill butchers. Then there is unit 17 that organised and carried out the bombings in the free state. Would you be so quick to name them terrorist? I didn't think so. Don't take it to heart.....take it to bed, it's warmer.

  • Gerry Adams, the Irish George Washington.

    

  • @wastbs

    You mean Washington was a piece of shit?

  • @wastbs What you mean an Englishman?

  • gerry adams is a gangster pure and simple

  • @tvcrunkfool up the provos

  • @tvcrunkfool Gerry Adams is no gangster, you fucking dimwit.

  • @hoopenhanger hes the biggest crook going mate

  • @hoopenhanger mate hes the biggest crook going made a load of cash in the name of republicanism and then is making a load of money off politics

  • @tvcrunkfool how is gerry adams a crook? he has worked very hard all his life for the irish struggle and should be commended

  • irish cunts suck dogs balls. Go Brits !

  • @HuwGeeRection im afraid you seem to be alone on that...

  • @THEIRISHVL97DIMIR

    you should be afraid. Very afraid, because you're families BANG in trouble now son.

  • @HuwGeeRection ok...stalker...

  • @THEIRISHVL97DIMIR

    I dont stalk people, I just carry out orders.

  • @THEIRISHVL97DIMIR Im gonna hurt you're family. 

  • @HuwGeeRection ok...where do i live?

  • @THEIRISHVL97DIMIR

    I have ways of finding you're location. It's only a matter of time. I WILL get at you.

  • @HuwGeeRection stop stalking 14 year old kids please you are scaring me

  • We didn't kill innocent people we were getting our own back so get ur proddy assess out of Ireland....... tiocfaidh ar la

  • Is Irish independence so important it is justifiable to kill innocent people? The answer is no you idiots.

  • Gerry Adams is a true Irish hero. Anybody who says otherwise is a cocksucker.

  • i dont give a fuck who died. if it wasnt for the old ira we wouldn have our 26 countys. new ira is a bit fukd up but thats because its not allowed exist.

  • The IRA come into the UK with caravans carrying guns and bombs illegally into the United Kingdom and if i had a plane i will take out the IRA and Gerry Adams is a murdering bastard he is still denying it and Sir Ian Paisley says and he quotes 'The IRA ARE SCUM!!!!! and Sir Ian Paisley he is the good guy and if he had a gun he would kill Gerry Adams and ban Sinn Fein from Stormont and from The House Of Commons and The Welsh Assembly

  • @adammark1983

    fuck you the british are the ones who started the killing and torchuring god forbid if the IRA does the same to you.

  • @adammark1983 if you had a plane you would take out the IRA and Gerry Adams?? Are you smoking crack or what???

  • I invade your house, I rape your wife, spank your children and later we talk about divide your house, share the same space, equal rights, get along and have peace... DEAL?!

  • when the shit hits the fan everyman in the south will take up arms ,thats what happens

  • If u chose to see this all as an IRA victory then suit yourself, hahahhahahahha. What would defeat have been like for u then, lol

  • God.

  • I think Ireland SHOULD support the IRA due to the fact they're the only ones with balls in this country who WILL fight the British fucks.

  • @NetbookHero??? Are you serious you stupid Brit you don't learn the history of my country in britian....they shot my grandfathers brother dead and trashed his house....now they call us terriousts.....my country is perinment fucked up because what the Brits done....the north will never be British when there's more Irish livin there...

  • @187BURNZY sure the british fucked up the country and should have stayed out of it but ireland would still be using farming methods from 1000 years ago with out the modern methods of the normans

  • The Republican Army didnt send out warnings when it bombed civillians in the UK. The thing i dont agree with is why would you have the past member of an extremists group in government thats like giving the taliban a seat in America. Also the difference between Adams and Mandela is that Mandela didnt promote violence and only used peaceful methods.

  • @NetbookHero You obviously know fuck all. Mandela "didnt promote violence and only used peaceful methods" - MK/ANC never used car-bombs? never killed civillians? Mandela didn't refuse early release by condeming the armed campaign? Mandela wasn't branded a terrorist for his use of armed campaign? You have only shown yourself to know nothing of what you speak.

    And actually the Provisionals are well known for sending warnings in order to spare civillian death tolls. Read a history book!

  • @godbrother10 and your point is ???

  • @NetbookHero My point is Gerry Adams and Nelson Mandela are both equally great men. The PIRA is nowhere near comparable to Al Quieada.

    To say that Mandela never promoted violence and only used peaceful methods only shows a complete lack of knowledge of international armed struggles - that of the ANC and PIRA were justified - that of AQ is abominable

  • @godbrother10 Maybe u can explain how 'great' he is to the 9 children of Jean McConville who was murdered and dumped on the order of Gerry Adams, or to the famillies of the people murdered on Bloody Friday (also on Gerry's orders) or to the thousands left maimed & injured by the provos. I wonder if u walked in their shoes how great u would think he is!

  • @uobcv Gerry Adams has brought peace to the North. He has never been convicted of being a IRA member and he has consistently denied being a member

    The Death of Jean McConville is a dark act by the Provisionals and as an Irish Republican we cannot shy away from it ... it was wrong and Gerry would be the first to say so.

    The fact is many people are now living in peace not having to endure further loss - thanks to Gerry and the SF team who securred a democratic route for the republican community.

  • @uobcv I ask you is Nelson Mandela a great man ... his actions caused many non-combatant deaths?

    Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Jesse Jackson, Teddy Kennedy all embraced Gerry Adams as a comrade.

  • @godbrother10 Small consolation to his victims! Do u think it justifies the deaths, suffering and injury to thousands of people? Gerry wont even admit he was a member of the IRA, so he is clearly a liar!

  • @uobcv Do I think the nationalist community of the North would be in the postion where it is today without the actions of the PIRA & SF? No, they would still be oppressed.

    Any evidence that Gerry was a member- he has always maintained he wasn't, & those who do say he was are usually British officals or so-called dissidents. Why was he never arrested for membership during the armed campaign?

    You appear to have ignored that on the one hand Mandela is a saint and on the other Gerry is a sinner.

  • @godbrother10 Well if organising murder, torture & protecting rapists doesnt make u a sinner then what does? What about the 332 catholic's murdered by the IRA? Who oppressed them? Oh sorry i forgot the official SF line that anyone who says Gerry was a provo is simply dismissed as a Brit, Prod or dissident. Wise up u moron, the dogs on the street know his rank and file!! If he cant even tell the truth about the songs he sang in prison how can we believe anythingt he says???

  • @godbrother10 I dont give one fuck about Mandela so im not sure why u keep mentioning him. My objection is your pathetic view that the man who organised attrocites like Bloody Friday etc.. is a 'great man'. The PIRA were a sectarain organisation that acheived nothing. They failed in their attempt to terrorise the people of Northern Ireland into a united ireland against the majority will. They have now accepted violence wont work & only now can Northern Ireland move forward!

  • @uobcv Why I mention him is that he is seen as a great man ... awarded a Nobel Peace Prize but when it comes down to it he and Gerry Adams have lived very similar lives and yet Gerry is demonised.

    There is of yet no evidence that Adams organised Bloody friday ... but that is by-the-by, the fact is PIRA ended its legitimate armed campaign when a peaceful democratic route to a United Ireland was made open to them, this is what they acheived rights and equal status for the nationalist people.

  • @uobcv You must be one of the few people in the world who holds that view about Mandela, which discloses your ignorance, which is further heightened by your posting that the PIRA were "a sectarian organisation that achieved nothing." Firstly, the PIRA were not sectarian as they did not indiscriminately murder Protestants, unlike the UVF and UFF for example, whose members have publicly admitted that they killed Catholics at random simply because those victims were Catholic.....

  • @RobRoyBoaz You claim u cant compare the UVF to the IRA, yet i think that anyone who kills someone for their religion is exactly the same, pure evil bigots, and i dont care what sick apologist rhetoric u use to try justify it.. And the loyalist CAUSE was to maintain Northern Ireland & our British heritage & nationality, just because idiots like u chose to only see their own opinion doesnt change the reality.

  • @uobcv You cannot compare the PIRA with the UVF and the UFF. The PIRA were fighting for a cause, whilst the latter were fighting to maintain the political and social status quo which blatantly discriminated against Catholics. Secondly, The PIRA achieved a lot. The fact that they were not defeated by what was thrown against them by the Brits is a major achievement in itself. Even Tony Blair admitted that the PIRA were undefeated. Of equal importance is the fact that via the armed struggle..

  • @RobRoyBoaz Undefeated?? So what did they acheive? In 2011 Northern Ireland is still part of the UK, while SF now sit in a partionist British ran government recognising Stormont and supporting the consent principle while supporting the Crown Forces. Hardly a victory for the IRA who promised they wouldnt stop til the 'bomb the Brits out'. And are u rerally to stupid to realise that Tony Blair told u everything u wanted to hear yet what did he gave u nothing?

  • @uobcv Read my reply again, to your earlier posting. It is obvious you know little if anything about military strategy.

  • @RobRoyBoaz And what exactly was the IRA's 'military stratedgy'? To destroy Northern Ireland and murder & terrorise us into a united ireland against the democratic will of the majority? Well if it was then they failed and thats why SF had to sign up to the same things they vowed to destroy & accept that violence failed. When SF talk about ''unionist outreach'' in other words they are saying they failed to bully & bomb us into unity so now they are gona try and bargain us into it, lol.

  • @uobcv. No -one wanted a prolonged war in the Six Counties. Neither the Nationalists nor the Loyalists. All the Nationalists wanted was to be treated on the same terms as the Loyalists. And yes, a united Ireland. The country belongs as one. The Loyalists are shit scared of unity, yet there is nothing to be afraid of. You would be treated on an equal footing and allowed to practice your religous beliefs without interference. Also your funny little mickey mouse culture would be protected.

  • @RobRoyBoaz Your right when u say 'there is nothing to be afraid of', because the notion of unity is now a forgotten pipe dream. Eire clearly dont want it (and couldnt afford it even if they did) But even thats irrelivant as a majority in Northern Ireland will never vote it. Even if it came a referendum do u think a majority of catholics would vote for a lower quality of life? All the IRA's sectarain campaign acheived was to make the majority in Northern Ireland more detemined to resist unity!

  • @uobcv. A lower quality of life you say. Please give me the economic statistics to prove that.

  • @RobRoyBoaz Clearly the very simple fact that Eire cannot afford it (and never will be able to in our lifetime) answers that question. They can barely afford what they have. They need a loan from Britian not over a million of its citizens to take care off. The last Irish Minister of State (Dr Martin Mansergh) even stated 'the arguments for unity are all but gone'. Seriously if u really believe its on their agenda u dellude yourself. It seems they only people u lot kid anymore is yourselves!!

  • @uobcv . You are talking in broad and vague terms. Where are your economic statistics to back up what you have said? Talking of loans, in the global economy, EVERYONE,including the UK needs a loan. Its no secret that Britain wants rid of NI, so don't be surprised if the UK offers to partially fund re-unification. When West Germany was re-united with East Germany, it could not afford the financial cost. It was funded partially by global institutions and partially by the W G government.

  • @uobcv By the way,FYI, quality of life and affordability, in economic terms are often mutually exclusive.

  • @uobcv..... leaders of the Loyalist community came to the negotiating table and the Good Friday Agreement was born. Whether is was a direct or an indirect result is irrelevant. The fact remains that it happened. And now back to Mandela. He is and always will be regarded as the man who prevented civil war and bloodshed in South Africa. He is a great friend of Gerry Adams as is Thabo Mbeki. Umkhonto we Sizwe also fought an armed struggle, a fight which they did not want. The Republicans in .....

  • @uobcv ....the Six Counties did not want to fight, but it was forced upon them by the intransigence of successive British governments and cowardly attacks on Catholic homes and communities by rampant Loyalist mobs.You may also be interested to know that PIRA were so effective as a guerrilla organisation that they were asked to train other freedom fighting forces such as Umkhonto we sizwe, Shining Path, ETA amongst others. That is yet another achievement. Helping others to attain freedom.

  • @uobcv I'm not trying to argue now, but do you have any, any proof, any proof whatsoever that Gerry Adams was a member of the IRA?

  • @godbrother10 You are correct. The Armed Struggle by the ANC was embarked upon with great reluctance. It was Chief Albert Luthuli who more or less gave the command to embark on the Armed Struggle. MK never defeated the SADF, but, neither did the SADF defeat MK. It really was the politico -economic front that won the day for the ANC. If it had not been for the USA and Europe, South Africa would never have changed. There again, that front was part of the struggle. Where you are incorrect...

  • @godbrother10 ...is that in certain quarters Mandela was branded as a terrorist. Yet again one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It is also interesting to note that Apartheid South Africa sold weapons to the Loyalist paramilitaries.Fascists supporting Fascists. Re. PIRA sending warningsto spare civilian deaths, PIRA eventually started sending warnings to the Press, because their warnings to RUC et al were not being passed on. Dirty British sacrificing innocent lives

  • @godbrother10 ...as part of the propaganda war against the Republicans. The parallels between Sinn Fein / IRA and ANC/MK are amazingly close. Both represent suppressed people. Civil and Human Rights were at the centre of both struggles. It is only bigots like @uobcv who are happy to allow one section of a community to be subjugated so that his part can enjoy all the benefits that the State can provide. And people like him usually lack the intelligence needed to think in deeper terms.

  • yeah right the IRA were terriosts just as bad as al quieada

  • @NetbookHero Have AQ ever sent out warnings to evacuate places before hand, no. AQ defends itself by an unbending unworldly theology rooted in the early centuries of the last millennium; whether you agree with it or not Irish republicanism, is rooted in the 18th century age of European Enlightenment. Unlike AQ the republican movement has demonstrated pragmatism and now takes a democratic route now its available- the demands of AQ cannot be met. What is the difference beween Adams and Mandela

  • @NetbookHero lmao,all i can say is i pity your narrow minded thoughts,my god u have no idea whats happening in the real world do you,have a look at your own history my friend over the last 1000 years,makes hitler look like an angel.brainwashed fool

  • @1984ioc hahaha hitler an angel thats a first this guy killed tens of thousands of innocent people, oh wait ur right with all the IRA bombings in britian im not surprised you think hitler was an angel compared to them

  • @NetbookHero can u not even read a small statement correctly,its not that hard.I admit i shouldnt have said hitler looks like an angel compared to the atrocoties britain has carried out but its not that far off,looking at the last 1000 years.I didnt say he looked like an angel because of the IRA donk.And just a simple question for you(and im totally against the IRA) but what is your thinking of why the IRA bombed britain,theres a reason behind everything

  • @NetbookHero can u not even read a small statement correctly,its not that hard.I admit i shouldnt have said hitler looks like an angel compared to the atrocoties britain has carried out but its not that far off,looking at the last 1000 years of british history.I didnt say he looked like an angel specifically but in comparative terms idiot.And just a simple question for you(and im totally against the IRA) but what is your thinking of why the IRA bombed britain,theres a reason behind everything

  • gerry sits in the dail now...sinn fein north and south

  • @19189073 it wasnt eazy for the irish to defeat the bitish when they came into peoples homes at the middle of the night shot them dead.....everywere the brits go they leave trouble and death behined them.....

  • @187BURNZY where u get this information from by the way ??

  • I for one do not think we've seen that last of the Provo's.

  • @Sparrowhawk155 They Haven't Gone Away You Know ;)

  • @Sparrowhawk155 We have.

  • Why is it so important that Ireland be a single country rather than divided up? I mean neither side, Northern or Republic are exactly badly off. It just seems that a lot of people are getting very riled up, and even worse, some are killed, for nothing more than bullshit nationalism, racism and a grudge like an antique cabinet; cared for, kept safe and then passed down to the kids, for the past few hundred years.

  • hey lightbluefire we have been trying to get a free ireland for 800 hundred !! i think its way past words now !!!

  • Okay fine protest but protest within the morals of humanity, the I.R.A becoming just like terrorists by using arms to gain their independece...

  • @Lightbluefire

    I suppose you support the west bombing and killing in iraq, afghanistan, etc.

    The ra are fighting a tyrant in their homeland.  They aren't running to the neighbors house and trying to take it they are trying remove the rats that have infested their own house. If you are not a total pacifist then you are hypocritical. go after the brits and the yanks if you want to spew on about terrorists they are specialists in terrorism.

  • @feniansarecoming Actually no, I do not see how britain are "tyrants" please enlighten me on how "tyrannical they are".........

  • @feniansarecoming I find it hilarious when Irish people bad mouth the English but never do it in their own language. If you cared that much you would speak your own fucking language!

  • @Ichiraku09 OH YOU FUCK HEAD if you even knew. the Irish language was beaten out of the people you fuck

    so go agus tú féin a marbhú. Is e an tír a glectear sasna a tír is amadach sa domhain

  • @TheMrEbob dont think its beaten out of them when its being teached in schools all over ireland today

  • @NetbookHero yeah maybe so but what the main spoken language in Ireland you gobshite

  • @TheMrEbob The main spoken language is english, yes it was brought with the english settlers in the plantations but really if you want a modern western country ,as many of western countries speak english, then the language in Ireland was going to change within time with or with out the english, also you just contradicted yourself you gobshite

  • @Ichiraku09 if they did it in their own language the english would not understand

  • gerry adams=pedophile

  • Long Live The I.R.A Freedom Fighters!

  • The IRA are undefeated and it will remain so we will get our wish for a united country p.s. @mooseheed1 you are a fucking knobjockey 

  • Fucking IRA scum cunt fucks

  • @mooseheed1 u are a fuckin useless piece of shite i hope u burn in the fires of prodestant hell u brit lovin cunt

  • @thewildrover1 and you are a cock breath cunt mick nigger sheep shaggin loser

  • @mooseheed1 watch your back u cunt your time is comin bhoy........

  • Google 'Liam Adams', 'Briege Meehan' or 'Martin Morris' to see what the IRA were really like.

  • @OrangeDemocrats Why did you delete the comment I left on your page?  And why do you not allow comments on your videos?

  • @OrangeDemocrats If you actually knew anything you would see that every reason for the IRA is because the British Attacked us and invaded, Which in your Eyes is a good thing, It will always require action to prevent evil from conquering, How would you like if i walked into your home shot your family and took ownership of your house. Wake up you uncivilised piece of shit, You have no reason to Defend & No reason to talk, but when we speak you ignore the facts. Faggot Cunt.

  • @OrangeDemocrats look i couldn't care less about freeing Ireland or a united ire land or any of that shit, but, are you seriously trying to say that the IRA were all sexual criminals and that there has never been someone like this in the orange order of UVF etc. cum on now think properly please. :)

  • everyone should support ira.

  • dirty feenien bastard

  • @abedishot If you could spell we might take you more seriously

  • @shane44965 Our Day Will Come- The day is when a United Ireland will be achievd

  • the IRA are toataly terrorists lol and gerry adams sounds like a handicapped retard close your eyes and listen to her i mean him.... lol S.A.S nough said

  • @MRAK47ification

    Anyone for pizza? lol

  • i think that the only mistake Britain ever made was letting this terrorist have a say in politics, and killing innocent catholic men and women, but that's a different point.

  • gerry loser adams

  • @shane44965 "Our day will come."

  • @shane44965  Our Day Will Come

  • Gerry Adams is one of the greatest Ulstermen Ireland has ever produced. God bless him.

  • @hoopenhanger ta tu ceart.......ta tu ceart

  • VERY WELL SAID GERRY tiocfaidh ar la

  • @MMAC0RE Yes I agree with you on that.

  • @MMAC0RE The British created the state of NI in 1921 against the wishes of the majority of Irish people. As much land as could possibly be held with a built in loyalist majority. British politicians created the problem. Their arrogance in the past and today was and is astounding. Oh, and btw, I'm English

  • @basil226 It was actually Ulster Unionists who chose where the border lay, not the English.

  • @padraic2001eire Are you saying they did so alone with no backing from the British? Do you not think the threat from Britain of continued war against Michael Collins' IRA forced him into signing the treaty that allowed partition?

  • @basil226 Surely if most people in Ireland wanted Northern Ireland, they wouldn't have agreed to partition. They would have stayed in the UK and abided by the 1920 Government of Ireland act, rather then setting out to achieve the Irish Free State - a partitioned state without full severance of the British connection, which was optional in 1914. Why is it England is always blamed for keeping NI, why is Ireland never blamed for letting go of it?

  • @padraic2001eire Well, as i'm sure you're aware a lot of people did blame those Irishmen who signed the peace treaty, hence the civil war that followed and then the various IRA campaigns after that. Britain is still blamed due to its constant interferance in what is a problem that should be resolved by the Irish themselves.

  • @basil226 The IRA didn't blow up pubs and shopping centres in the Republic of Ireland and kill innocent men, women and children. They did do that in England, however (Birmingham, Warrington etc). Millions upon millions of English people have Irish roots, and are quite affectionate towards the Irish. Blaming the English, particularly the present-day English, for the existence of Northern Ireland is a non sequitur.

  • @padraic2001eire Obviously when I talk of Britain or British I'm referring to the political elite not the ordinary citizen. In the recent troubles the Bloody Sunday killings and the British judicial cover up and denial caused surge in IRA membership and activity, as did the denial of political status of prisoners that led to a number men dying on hunger strike. Those are just two examples of grave political misjudgement by British politicians that exacerbated the problems.

  • @basil226 British Security Forces (Army, UDR, RUC) killed 363 people. Irish Republicans (PIRA, INLA et al) killed 2057.  If the killing in the Troubles was a simple tit-for-tat balancing act, then Republicans outdid the Security Forces by quite a bit, 1694 corpses to be exact. If you were Lesley Gordon's mother, and your 10 year old daughter had been blown up by Francis Hughes, would you like it if the UK Government then said, "well, that was political child murder..."?

  • @padraic2001eire Don't mistake me for an IRA sympaphiser. For me all killing is wrong. Let me put it to you this way. Perhaps almost all those lives you've just mentioned could have been spared had the politicians not been so intransigent, and arrogant. Which is the point I've been trying to put to you all along. Please read what I say carefully before replying because it's begininng to feel like I'm wasting my time with you.

  • @basil226 Fair enough. Just don't think that the IRA speak for the Irish people. They do not. The vast majority (I'm talking over 90% here) of Irish people recognise the reality of partition and are not hostile towards the British Government, or the British people (we tend to see Britishness and Englishness as pretty much the same, though I know they are not). England has been a home to millions of Irish people, and there are barely any Irish people who do not have some English-born relatives.

  • @padraic2001eire Although I'm English I did live in Cork for many years and am aware of how people there felt. I was personally treated very well by all I met, but I did feel that there was some anti British feeling that stemmed right back from the troubles of 1916/21. As for Sinn Fein and G. Adams, I think they will do very well in the upcoming general election in the Republic . Would I be right in thinking that?

  • @basil226 I imagine they'll win a few seats. However, Fine Gael and Labour will receive the most votes. Sinn Fein's recent electoral success in Donegal South-West has a lot to do with Donegal being a border county, which are/were PIRA strongholds. Hence Gerry Adams decision to run in Louth in Arthur Morgan's place (Louth also being a border county). Most people in the Republic view Sinn Fein for what they are: the political front of the PIRA, and therefore do not vote for them.

  • @padraic2001eire Clearly this is also wrong most observers suggest that Adams economic policy let him down at the last election, the PIRA have been off the stage for 14 years, maybe the vote for Finna Fail cause they support the OLD IRA, u really are something!

  • @phoenix1916 Sure, that's why Jim Allister and TUV won't share power with Sinn Féin; because of their economic policies. Gerry Kelly and Martin McGuinness are two of the most prominent members of Sinn Féin; both are admitted, convicted former PIRA volunteers. Adams, regardless of whether you think he was on the PIRA Army Council, acted as pallbearer for their funerals, publicly defended them and negotiated on behalf of them. No one in Fianna Fáil since the 1960s has comparable IRA credentials.

  • @padraic2001eire And what about before that>> U r diverting away from the question i posed re: ur 53% i will ask again where did u get this figure that voted to stay part of the Union? incidently Jim Allisterr got less than 5% IN THE LAST ELECTION, do u do want democracu means??

  • @phoenix1916 Well, how do you account for the 70% of former Irishmen in the British Army who did not have their ballot papers delivered, and who would have probably voted IPP? Am I making that up? Do a little research. Less than half of those who voted were not voting for complete separatism, that is my point. And fuck Jim Allister, he's a prick. I only mentioned him because it's naive to think that people dislike Sinn Féin because of their economic policies, and not their violent history.

  • @padraic2001eire 70% OF WHAT U FOOL, WHAT % WAS THAT OF THE TOTAL ELECTORATE???! aNSWER MY QUESTION FOR THE 5th TIME OF ASKING WHERE IS THIS NUMBER OF 53% that supposely voted to retain the Union, stop the bloody provarication and answer the question AMADAN????

  • @padraic2001eire Again how many civilains were killed during the war of Independence? How many civilians died because of the rising in 1916, far more that military i can tell u? were these any different, ur a revionsist fool, spin away man!!!

  • @phoenix1916 not that i need to justify it to you but if i dont know my history someone should tell the university that give me my degree in IRISH HISTORY

  • @belfast1990 My comments in NO way were directed at u, they were to the uploader of this video, where did i address you here???

  • @phoenix1916 sorry i didnt mean to send that to you lol

  • @padraic2001eire shame on you. you are very quick to forget that it was the ira that fought and died for a united and free ireland. you digust me and if you are irish im ashamed to call myself an irishman. the leaders of 1916 have paid the price and are so quick to forget.

  • @belfast1990 Quick to forget? You clearly no nothing about about Irish history. In the 1918 election, a majority (53%) of those of voted wanted to Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. Also, 70% of the Irishmen who fought in the British Army did not have ballot papers sent to them. It was because of the election's first-past-the-post system that Sinn Féin were able to win 73 out of 105 seats.

  • @padraic2001eire where did u get this figure of 53% of those voted wanted to remain British??

  • @phoenix1916 I chose my words very carefully, I didn't say "want to remain British". I said "wanted Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom". Some wanted to remain within the UK, for the time being: I am referring to John Redmond and the IPP who wanted Home Rule, not separatism. Others, such as Ulster Unionists, wanted to permanently remain within the UK. You should know that Ulster Unionists only insisted on being British (and NOT Irish) after the PIRA's campaign began.

  • Comment removed

  • @padraic2001eire seems there is more then ONE here who doesnt know their history?

  • @padraic2001eire fact remains that they had the majority but more to the point you stated that more than 90percent irish people are against the IRA/sinn fein. lastest poll 16 shows sinn fein has 16 percent of the vote in the 26 counties and are the biggest party in the remaining 6. dont try and undermine my intellegence. i dont know why im wasting my time explaining this to you. you will burn in hell for being a traitor to the irish people

  • @belfast1990 I don't believe in Hell. And if disapproving of the PIRA makes me a traitor then I'd be in good company. I'd rather be a traitor than a defender of the people who bombed Claudy, Birmingham, Enniskillen, Warrington, Omagh etc

  • @padraic2001eire Oh pick the ones that went wrong, how many civilians were killed during the war of Independence in the South? Its a fact of war my man, not that that in any ways justifies those incidents!

  • @padraic2001eire it was the RIRA not the PIRA that bombed Omagh..... you dont even seem to know the difference.... i rest my case

  • @belfast1990 Of course I know the difference. The majority of the keyboard warriors I encounter on youtube say things like "victory to the RIRA" and that PIRA/Sinn Féin are sell-outs for endorsing the Good Friday Agreement. Regardless of whether you support the dissidents, or support the GFA, the fact is both the PIRA, and the RIRA (which consists of former members of the PIRA, it's not that different) are responsible for many brutal, indefensible actions, more so than the British Army.

  • @padraic2001eire more than the british army do nyou live in a bubble? do you need reminded of McGurks bar, bloody sunday, the shoot to kill policy shankill butchers? do you really believe the things you write? when i think of the horrific things you are trying to justify it makes me sick. the tyranny of the british army was inflicted on innocent people and when the people fought back they were labelled terrorist? you are living in a parell world to reality. i pity you. Erin Go Bragh

  • @padraic2001eire you conveniently omit to state that SF candiditates were returned unopposed in several very atrong Republican constituencies

    as for the "first-past-the-post system" - it is still the system in UK & governments get elected there with the support of <40% of those who vote,

    & these governments rule our north eastern 6 counties.

  • The island of Ireland is in the shape of teddy bear, with its arse pointing directly at London.

  • god bless the provos

  • GOD you lot talk some crap. snore z z z z z z

  • @MMAC0RE

    ok.

    mma-core

  • I wish IRELAND would rise up from the sea and get over on her hunkers and shit all over those in the UK

  • Good old Gerry. He was a British undercover agent and cleverly brought about the defeat of the IRA. Brilliant. He even persuaded the Dublin government to give up its claim to N. Ireland. A true British heroe.
