It should be remembered the people of Dublin did NOT support the 1916 rebellion ..... that spat on the rebels in the streets when they were marched away from the post office.
Don't believe me? The Irish Independent newspaper even called for the rebel leaders to be executed. Fact. You can look it up.
@ferdiashepherds Oh God no! But what you don’t say is the paper was owned by whom? Yes that’s right Bill Murphy! Was this the same Bill who fought against the workers, Jim Larkin and Connolly in 1913, the same Bill that set the DMP on the strikers on Aug 30th on Sackville street, the same Bill that with Maxwell called for Connelly’s blood and had him tied to a chair and shot, I think so! Beware of propaganda particularly from newspaper proprietors who have their own agenda... Sucker!
@skippership7 Great answer except for the final word! I haven't a clue if you're accurate or not but I will take your word for it. As an Englishman I don't feel like a sucker for not knowing Irish newspaper proprietors of a century ago. It still remains true that the Dublin population did NOT support the Easter Uprising at all and indeed condemned the participants; it's only in recent years they have been made into popular martyrs.
Probably because they did it in the middle of a World War!
@ferdiashepherds Sorry about that but the truth is only the GPO caused an issue for the Dublin population. What do you think they use it for at that time? pay, pensions, (140,000 IV WW1) money withdrawals, post, etc. You would be pissed off if that facility was suddenly taken away from you and you needed to feed the kids. But where on earth did you get your 2nd comment from? Why do you think there was a split on that bloody treaty? ...The total betrayal of those same martyrs, memories and deeds!
@skippership7 Don't give me that rubbish. The Dublin population didn't support the Easter Uprising because they couldn't use the Post Office .... that is beyond ridiculous!
They didn't support the uprising because they did it i the middle of a world war in which 1000's of Irishman were fighting against Germany AND they knew the Home Rule bill had only been delayed because of the said war.
Those 'martyrs memories and deeds' were spat upon at the time by their fellow Irishmen. Fact.
@ferdiashepherds Ah, beyond ridiculous is it? we’ll, you obviously have much better access to good research and study then I do, so come on lets have it…apart from your imagination (and the propaganda given out by the likes of William Murphy, that great supporter of the ICA, IRB, IV, Na Fianna Eireann and Cumann na mBan) give me qualified facts, researchers, papers, publications, references and dates in support of your statements....And please don’t give that Daily Mail crap!
@skippership7 My information comes from my wife's family from Ardee one of whom was in Cumann na Ban but I freely admit that you are much better informed than I. Let's turn it around; are you saying that the Dublin population would have fully supported the Easter Uprising if they had just attacked The Four Courts and Custom House?
Your 'they couldn't use the post office' argument seems weak to me but I will be interested in your answer. This is yr history not mine so I am happy to be wrong.
@ferdiashepherds Oh what a surprise no documented evidence then? and it’s your history as well a point you seem to be missing: There have always been paid spies and informers whose livelihoods depended on maintaining the status quo – these are the collaborators who had the most to lose (turkeys voting for Christmas etc) not the "population" as you say, and they did not attack the GPO, they occupied it, the British attacked it, so your question ref the Four Courts and Customs House is illogical!
@skippership7 Nice perfectly reasonable question avoidence there Shemus! Perhaps a little pedantic and disengenuous though. All I asked you is 'are you saying the population of Dublin supported the Uprising'?'
You and I both know they didn't but you don't want to admit it because you don't want your latter day heroes looking unpopular do you?
At least they were dealt with properly in Kilmainham Gaol ;-)
@ferdiashepherds Firstly why are you calling me Shemus I’d love to know? I say again your question is not logical! What’s the logic in occupying a building with a British War Ship with 3” guns (and heavier if needed) pointing directly at you from only 20 yards away? Doh! These were intelligent men and women unlike yourself! So, Casement and Kent executed in Kilmainham eh? Blimey, another fact you got out of the Beano! And they are not my heroes but Irelands, you nor I will ever change that!.
@skippership7 Sorry Paddy I shouldn't have called you Shemus.. Casement wasn't part of the uprising and Kent was executed for a seperate murder after the event so what on earth is your point?
I do agree they are Ireland's folk heroes now but at the time they had no support from the Dublin population and it wasn't because people couldn't buy stamps at the bloody post office as you ridiculously suggested earlier!
Top marks though for question avoidance yet again Paddy!
@ferdiashepherds My point is you are full of bullshit, a liar, shockingly uninformed on the subject, assumptive and a bigoted fool to boot! Don't you ever get anything right? For example, why do you keep calling me “Paddy or Shemus” when I am English you dickhead! Born in Yorkshire of North York’s and West Country ancestry, raised in York’s and the West Mids, graduated at Cambridge in British and Irish studies and over here completing a DPhil. How much more English can I be....... Twat!!!!
@skippership7 I didn't ask for your resume nor your ancestry. Quite frankly, judging by your command of the English language, I doubt you have even been to Cambridge let alone studied there.
Stating the Dublin population did not support the Uprising because they couldn't buy stamps in the GPO is just galatically stupid. Now stop blowing smoke up your own arse and stop avoiding my repeated question little man. Alternatively just crawl back to your bedsit and do some relevant studying.
@ferdiashepherds Oh boy you sound pissed off now, assumptions eh, what you can do with them, still it’s your own fault! And who said anything about buying bloody stamps – only you! I was quite clear, we were talking about people like the shawlies, well documented by the likes of Collins in his papers and publications, or are you saying he is wrong and you know more about the Rising than he does?
I will now accept you refuse to answer my question and we both know why; the fact is Dublin did not support the Uprising and you know it but don't want to admit defeat. Fair enough.
Here's another question. As an Englishman, why are you calling the Uprising terrorists heroes when they were trying to take advantage of Britian being involved in The Great War. Your ancestors were dieing in the fields of Flanders when these terrorists attacked!
@ferdiashepherds On your 2nd point, not even the despatches called them that so why should I? Now stop avoiding the question which is, just in case you have forgotten, does Collins account on the motives of the shawlies tied up with my own. It’s just a straight Yes or No?
@skippership7 You avoid every question and avoid admitting your 'heroes' had no support from the shawlies or anyone else. You will be slagging off Winston Chrurchill next.
The 'rebels' you idolise so much were ***ts for doing what they did during a world war and they were treated accordingly. 1000's of Irish were fighting the Germans and they were betrayed by your unpopular little band of misfits. Those were the good old days of proper punishments.
@ferdiashepherds Look I’ll make this easy for you as you are obviously struggling here!
1) Does Collins account on the motives of the shawlies match my own YES or NO?
2) You say, the rebels (my heroes) had no support from the shawlies or anyone else, so by definition you must be saying that other than the rebels, 100% of the population of Dublin was against the rising YES or NO?
@skippership7 No population of any city is 100% anything you silly student. The population of Dublin did not rise up and support the rebels; that is a fact. They were derided and spat upon when marched through the streets and the Dublin press called for their execution.
Those are the facts you keep failing to recognise and yet manage to keep asking puerile questions to try and explain them away. The mere attempt to explain them away proves you know I am correct. Try another tack.
@ferdiashepherds Excellent! Now we are starting to make some progress. Of course your statement ref the rebels had no support from the shawlies “or anyone else” was just ridiculous! But a simple “NO” would have sufficed. And we “agreed a week ago” that some were against the rebels, so why you are still raising it. Move on!
Now, where’s the answer to my 1st question ref Collins account of the shawlies, and it can only be either – “YES” or “NO” or “DON’T KNOW” just 1 of the 3 please!
@ferdiashepherds … and it’s my history not yours-WRONG, oh and you also called them terrorists-WRONG, not even French or Maxwell called them that but you do, I wonder why? Good job this is not an exam paper eh? I conclude after reading other comments and words you have used elsewhere like “I don’t want this n*gger to win” that my first instincts were correct, you are indeed just a bigot and racist dinosaur. Take that butchers apron off son, it’s doing your brain in – here endeth the lesson!
@ferdiashepherds I’ll take that as a DON’T KNOW on the Collins question then shell I? Let’s conclude, the only thing you got right was agreeing with me “eventually” that “some” of the population were against the rebels, other than that- You DON’T KNOW who William Murphy is, the executed only became martyrs in recent times-WRONG, Kent executed for murder-WRONG ref71/356 read it!, Casement had nothing to do with the rising-WRONG, I live in a bedsit-WRONG, you called me Paddy and Shemus-WRONG......
@ferdiashepherds its seldom i comment on youtube however I feel I must correct you, cumann uaigheann na laochra gael itself set out to honour the dead patriots of 1916 just shortly after, original headstone and railings 1926 glasnevin 3 in 1936 o’rahilly parade 1937 sean heuston bridge 1941 to name but a few, i also noted your comment on casement and can only conclude you must be living on a different planet to the rest of us.
@ferdiashepherds I don’t want to fight with you but you clearly said and your words not mine “casement wasn't part of the uprising” nothing about dublin which as anyone knows is not true it’s a bit like saying the stacks keating or ring weren’t involved either or roosevelt and churchill had nothing to do with the d-day landings cos they werent fighting on the beaches in france that’s just silly.
@Lissadell1916 Every word you say is absolutely correct. .... all I would say is that we were discussing the Uprising in Dublin specifically and the city population's reaction. I should have been clearer in what I posted
@ferdiashepherds thanks i understand, as you can appreciate attention to detail is so import on this issue e.g. if i was asked by someone if king george v was captured by the rebels during the rising i would say yes of course he was and i would be absolutely correct, he was, but the devil is always in the detail, anyway thanks for clarifying
You know its funny i came into the comments for this video hoping to find out what the actual name of this movie is so i could find it on netflix, but instead all i find is a bunch of people arguing about random ass things and people trolling the comments. God youtube has become to predictable
@laughatologist Surely you mean how predictable people’s stupidity has become on YouTube now! … The name of the film is just under the screen! – It says the film Michael Collins ... Doh!. As for “random ass things”…. It’s called “our history“ it’s called “attention to detail and having a passion for the true”- something both you and the film are sadly lacking in!
@RichardElden "Richie baby" – why are you now leaving your comments of my personal profile, such as “The bankrupt South, whose budget plans now have to be approved by Germany and all other EU states” Thats just not logical - if you want to have a go at me on this one lets have it out in the open – Explain yourself and “bring it on baby"!
@RichardElden Have you actually read the despatches mate? Obviously not (I should be charging you for this free education son) at no time did Maxwell refer to them as terrorists only rebels. That said he did think they were Sinn Feiners lol, obviously a Daily Mail reader like yourself, he only had to ask Charlotte who would have put him straight (and her boot up his arse) whoops, how embarrassing for him eh? What would have happened if she’d have been up for shooting, what do you think?
@RichardElden "Earl Kitchener used them agaisnt the racist Dutch settlers who had stolen the land from the native Africans." <- so this make it ok to starve wemen and children to death? and im sure the english has stolen land as well, like asutralia, india, malaya, america and china. and the people in the video had uniforms on. what about vietnam, was the VC terrorist because they didnt have uniforms? just seems to me that evey time some one stands up to the english empire that they are terrst
@RichardElden its funny how you call them terrorist scum, yet the Libyans can knock Gadaffi off his throne and they are called freedom fighters. Its not the first time the Brits have been barbaric, just look at the concentration camps south Africa. In fact the word was invented by the British from this discussing act against women and children. Free Ireland and free West Papua.
@RichardElden Oh really was he? Well thanks, as that stupid statement completely contradicts your last stupid statement. Let me explain, if “your great hero” Maxwell and his boss agree with me, then I must be correct - right? And If I am right, by definition you must be "wrong" – correct? Doh Richie, this is too easy! (You do like tripping yourself up all the time don’t you) And whilst we are on the subject where’s the answer to my 2 boots question?… what the hell was going on there?
@RichardElden Oh what a confused little boy you are 1) it’s “on” Bloody Sunday not at..... 2) You are getting your terrorists and rebels confused. The IRB, ICA, Irish Volunteers, Cumann na mBan or Na Fianna Eireann by definition could not have been terrorists in 1916 and using your logic, (which is not logical) the French Resistance in the 1940’s were all terrorist? Bloody hell, there I am thinking they were freedom fighters! Oh sorry, but of course they were terrorists........To the Nazi’s!
@RichardElden Dooooh! I told you that 2 weeks ago! Why are you telling me something I have already told you? Hello – earth calling planet Richie!! 1) you have never read it, otherwise you would not have come to a totally different conclusion RDE came to in the book, 2) you have quite clearly never been to St Enda’s and read reference, 3) you can’t detail something there is no evidence for… Doh! Or are you trying to say the other 3 were as well now – what a muppet!
@RichardElden Oh Richie baby, how disappointing, obviously your bullocks have shrunk to zero. As I suspected all mouth and no trousers! Next time take on someone with your own intellect…… like an amoeba! PHP had your sort sussed 90 years ago – Tyrants! Hypocrites! LIARS! Now consider your arse kicked and crawl back into your hole!
@RichardElden You slander a dead man who can’t defend himself so I will do it for him! You’re not fit to lick his boots, and why are there two pairs? – did the British think no-one would notice? As well as a calling him a paedophile you called him a coward! Well Mr big man here’s what we’ll do - let’s see what bollocks you have shall we? Give an apology for your ill-informed ignorance, bigotry, homophobia and stupidity, (did Stevie Wonder write that song about you?) Be a man and apologize!
@RichardElden Richie baby, where are you? Come on, you can say it, we all know anyway! It was RDE wasn’t’ it? Whoops never mind! I warned you, opinionated theory not “fact” and it was "unconscious" anyway, and even if he was gay, which he wasn’t - who cares? And had that black day on 13/08/09 not happened it would never have been talked about! As for your foul accusation of him being a paedophile, did you think “cherishing” “all the children of the nation equally” meant “abusing” - you moron!
@RichardElden Bloody hell, what’s being a homosexual got to do with being a paedophile? which is what you accused him of being, or are you one of those homophobic idiots who thinks they are the same thing? “There.. .was… a… book” ….. F*** me! What f****** Book?? (mind the RDE trap) That said I am always willing to give someone who is obviously out of their depth and not very bright another chance, So for the 3rd time of asking, refs, publications, papers, documented evidence:
@RichardElden No, sorry sunshine, those diversionary tactics don’t work on me! Just because you can’t back up that big mouth of yours with real evidence or facts on your statement ref. PHP. You can’t “Wikipedia” your way out of this one like you do for everything else. So, refs, publications, papers, documented evidence please! Oh….. And no more deflecting bullshit, it just won’t wash!
@RichardElden Well known by whom, you? You have publicly called Pearse a pedophile, so, don’t give me what goes on in that sick twisted mind of yours; give me what you know as fact! Refs, publications, papers, documented evidence! And don’t try and fob me off with that RDE crap either, another parasite who’s earning money from slandering good men via way of “opinion” not “fact”. Let’s have your evidence or shut up and leave the great man to rest in peace – you sick minded vindictive idiot!
@RichardElden You evil little bigoted shit (I know you’ll knock one off on that comment) – We all know the film was factually complete bullocks, but what a cheap shot and how bloody brave of you to slander people who can’t defend themselves! What proof do you have to back up those comments?
@RichardElden actualy my mums side aboriginal, and that is what i was referring to as well as this barbaric act of the easter rising. white Australians "British immigrants" did treat us aborigines terribly. and yet the government still treats us like children, a government based on British ideals.
@RichardElden yeah mate you are a freak with no life stop replying hate to be a fat fuck like you sitting in your house on your fat arse all day looking up history articles on wikipedia thinking your all smart,unlike you i actually served in multiple wars i have a wife and a job get a life you idiot i dont care if your english we dont go on your vids and insult you.
@RichardElden Well i dont see 40 thousand plus people dead here mate why do you waste your life insulting our history and videos i see your comments on loads of irish related vids you have no fucking life man.
@RichardElden they where actually aiming for the english but what can you do accidents happen im glad the germans killed 40 thousand english idiots in london lol its really funny.
@RichardElden plenty have, not so many Loyalists though.....suppose their seen as more of a nuisance than a political force, and with not a single Loyalist elected who can blame the British Government for taking this stance?
@RichardElden yeah there was the whole world recognises it that is why the Irish Nationalists and Sinn Fein are being hailed as an international success. While the Prod Colonialists are forgotten about, declining in population, and have poorly educated youth compared to their Catholic counterparts in many cases.
Well the IMF didn't seem to be stating that.
Believe me when you all ran out of Dublin back in 2006 was when I lost all respect for your fighting skills full stop
@RichardElden there was a lot of oppression, but through the gun and the ballot box the nationalist people have rightfully taken their place as the upcoming faction in NI soon to be in majority rule, while the Protestant-Colonialist decline in the past 100 years is there for all to see.
Well if EU leaders take action there will be no need for a second bailout. The IMF stating today that Ireland has a good chance of going back into the markets next year.
@RichardElden yeah as they will soon be in the majority and will be effectively running the place. The Native Irish Catholcis in NI have made great strides from oppressed civil rights marchers to jointly controling Northern Ireland and soon to be in majority rule in the province, all within the UK.I don't think those marchers in the 1960's could have imagined coming so far.
Main thing that makes me laugh is how much the Ulster-Prods have lost, even the 'fenians' will be ruling them in the UK
@RichardElden yeah and why shouldn't the UK pay for them? After all they may hold an Irish passport and dual Irish citizenship but it aint the country on their passport that will be footing the bill....
Facts still remain that in Northern Ireland the Catholic Native Irish are growing in number a slowly politically taking over the Protestant Ulster-Scot colonialists, right under their noses within the UK.....
And there is absoulutely nothing the Prods can do about it....
@RichardElden well with the Catholics soon to outnumber the Prods in Northern Ireland they will soon be dictating the province, whether it is in the UK or not isn't of interest, the fact that Irish-Catholics will be in the majority over Protestant-Colonialists is a good thing as it means they will have an even greater say than they already do. Thus eradicating for good the Protestant Colonialists dominance, and within the UK of all places. Haha
@RichardElden yawn here we go again with the fear of the EU.
Yeah it was nice, but Britain cannot afford the Irish banks to go bust because it would have a terrible effect on your own banks, are you naive enough to see it as a gift? Even though it is a loan with interest and it was a measure taken as I've explained previously to safe guard the British banks? Yeah he went from IRA leader to Northern Ireland deputy/joint leader, not too bad.
Do the Provisional IRA/Sinn Fein now have a major say in Northern Ireland? Yeah
So as you can see that not only did the Ulster-Scot Protestants lose their dominance on the island of Ireland with Irish Independence, but they don't even control Northern Ireland anymore.
If only the fools had listened to the Irish and English parliamentarians of the 1800's and early 1900's they may have been better off today. Ah well their loss....
@RichardElden if your an Ulster-Protestant Settler, 26 counties of Ireland are indpenendent, something that if the Ulster-Protestants weren't so opposed to Home Rule possibly wouldn't have happened.
Again if Home Rule had have been passed sooner which it would have been only for the Ulster Protestants there would have been no 1916 Rising, and even if there was with Home Rule in place no one would have taken any notice of it.
So in reality you fcuked things up, and paid for it bigtime.....
@RichardElden Look at what was on the table in the Third Home Rule Bill around 1912, an all Ireland parliament within the UK, now most Irish-Nationalists only wanted that, the Irish Republicans who wanted independence at the time were only a tiny minority.
But the ever so dependent Ulster-Scot planters wanted to be ruled by London, instead of ruling themselves in an all Irish parliament within the UK. They were and are Britains over dependent little dogs. And look how much they lost since??
@RichardElden I put forward a factual and educated point and all you can reply with is rubbish......
Home Rule was postponed due to WW1 as I've already stated.
Also look how the UVF in 1912 was threatening not only Ireland with war if Home Rule was passed, but also British troops who if Home Rule had actually passed and the UVF as promised had started a campaign would have attacked British troops who would have been brought in to restore order .
@RichardElden (continued) funny thing is that the several Home Rule Party Irish MP's in Westminister and many English MP's supported Home Rule. It was those damn planted Ulster-Scot Protestants in Ulster who scuppered the other Home Rule bills with their lobbies and non stop dependence of Westminister. The UVF was set up in 1912 BEFORE any Irish paramilitary group, they were threatening both the Irish and even the English if Home Rule was granted. So in effect we begin to see the real enemy.....
@RichardElden China? No the IMF was giving financial aid to the UK in the 1970's, those are the facts, agreed?
Most if not all the Black and Tans where ex WW1 soldiers. Hmm armed soldies representing the British monarch fighting against the Irish, it doesn't matter the fact they weren't even a regiment more a British terror group is all the more scandalous.
It wasn't given in 1914 though, it was postponed. All the Irish wanted throughout all the 1800's was mere Home Rule within the UK....
@RichardElden haha what ever makes you sleep at night, after all the IMF was in Britain in the 1970's....The US tells Britain what to do these days even the dogs on the street know it.....
Oh so the Black and Tans weren't WW1 soldiers? Llloyd George and Churchill and the rest of those people present in the negotiations where dying for a deal to be struck, George was a good operator and negotiator. But Ireland going from not even mere Home Rule to an independent dominion wasn't bad going
@RichardElden so glad we don't have to live under British rule anymore seeing as your country hadn't the balls to fight on in Ireland, they even pander to the Provisional IRA.....
And don't come back with your laughable anti-EU tripe, all I ever hear in England is people moaning about the EU, who gives a fcuk Britain is second rate now, thought you all would have understood that by now....
@RichardElden all the events in this film happend some bits where just turned around a bit like an armoured car going into croke park when in reality the tans shot in through the outside of the stadium but all these people where real and the events.
@JordoF6 No they didn’t all happen, Dublin Castle v G Division, Ned Broy v his 3 pensions until 1972, Harry in the river v Skerries, Markievicz at The GPO v 2 days later at SG – Surrender at the GPO v Parnell and Moore St. etc. etc. all complete rubbish – The truth is much more interesting and the film (good as it was) did a disservice to these great men and women by distorting the truth.
I'm from England an I watched this in my history lesson I like things with guns and fighting but this history made me feel that the Irish should of had a chance and it angers me to know that I'm English and now if I try and say anything to some Irish people because of the queens visit they will not like me I have Irish relatives and I have Scottish relatives so i do not want to start a argument I'm 12 and I liked this video than any other history or war video because of the braveness and sacri
@BADBOYCHRIS1000 hey man?im from cork deep south of ireland and weve aload of english people living here.were not anti-british.i just dont like the ryal family and the british governtt and the irish government.we love your people.you should check out "in the name of the father" when an english woman saved an innocent irish man.were family in both countries.your a kid and you seem like a smart kid.never stop learning buddy and never let the rich and powerful beat us
I watched people from Dublin being intereviewed about the queen coming and they welcomed it, I was near sick. Any southerners reading this who agree or condemn the Provisional IRA you are an absolute disgrace to our proud Irish history that these brave men fought and died for.
Connolly, Pearse, Collins..ect would be turning in their graves.
@RichardElden You’re not very good at this are you Richard? – Unfortunately for you its 1800, it was your call not mine, “what % were Anglicans”,” why was that %” and “headed by whom”? I don’t think the answers are difficult …umm... must be that they are just too embarrassing for you then eh?
@RichardElden bloody hell! - I told you that won’t wash with me just give me answers! How much plainer can I make it! Act of illegal union 1800 - Who asked to join,” what % were Anglicans”,” why was that %” and “headed by whom”? “are you in favour of this discrimination?” JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS MAN!
@RichardElden No sorry those diversionary tactics won’t wash with me, don’t avoid the answers….Who asked to join, what % were Anglicans, why was that % and headed by whom? and are you saying that you do condone that sort of discrimination?
@RichardElden Thank you, you make my point very nicely for me…and what % were Anglicans…and headed by whom? Come on you can say it we all know anyway! It's called an "illegal union". Not even you would seriously condone that sort of blatant discrimination today….unless of course you were a dictator..and there’s the point and British democracy at work...16 million dead down to the King of England and his dictator cousin! umm...nice people eh? Good job we captured him during the Rising then!
Neil Jordan what were you thinking of? Because of you there are kids about now who really believe some of this rubbish actually happened – shame on you! At least give these great men and women the respect of telling it the way it was!
@RichardElden Im getting pretty sick and tired of British people going on about Irelands IMF bailout. The UK themselves had to apply for a bailout from the IMF on 29th September 1976 under the James Callaghan Government. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black

Juan Mcgready get a fucking life you ugly fat bitch! no one cares about your comments if you have nothing nice to say fuck off you must have a sad life if all you do is comment with hate on irish videos go suck your queens cock mate!
@RichardElden they did not do that we did that stupid man , we the irish pepole let them down, o england needed ikf bailout once too so we can recover our country might be best thing that ever happened to us
If you acually studied your history, you would know that when the rebels were lead away, the people of Dublin gathered to spit and throw stones at them, because they had husbands, brothers and sons fighting in France. That is the truth. Another is that Devalera killed more rebels members in the years he was in power than the British ever killed in the 700 years they were in Ireland.
@JackPlatts Was that a serious statement? Don’t be so silly, 1647, 1649, 1691, 1798, 1803, 1916, WOI etc. not to mention Trevelyan and his crony pal members of what must be the oldest and most undemocratic institutions in the world - how many was it again – remind me? Yeh right, Dev killed over 1.5 million anti Free Staters then did he? What bloody planet are you on?
All I have to say is R.I.P. to all the men who died fighting for our country because the british basterds are greedy cunts and they shall burn in hell.
I would imagine that after the south losing its sovereignty and having to accept such a huge bailout the chances of a united Ireland are more remote than ever. But perhaps Gerry Adams will save the situation in his new career?
The Easter Rising was a disgusting act of treason during wartime. Patrick Pearse openly praised the Germans as "gallant allies" of the so-called Irish Republic. This was despite the fact that tens of thousands of Irishmen had been fighting the Germans for the past eighteen months.
@JuanMacready u r a fucking idiot, dont comment on topics you know fuck all about
and those irishmen were FORCED into the british army, if they had the choice they would have NEVER joined the terrorist cunts, so dont fucking flatter yourself, same way the brits forced us to speak english and murdered those who spoke r native language, or went to church or school or jus being a catholic
at least know the history cuz we were forced to join tht pathetic army
@DaorDoBritney Nope, they were all volunteers. Conscription wasn't introduced in Ireland until well after the Easter Rising. The only terrorists were the cowardly IRA. I'm glad a dum dum bullet blew Michael Collins' skull apart. Kevin Barry deserved to be hanged for murdering three young boys.
@JuanMacready no they weret, most were forced into it, either tht, or let ur family starve, hve no home or be killed
the british are nothing but terrorists the british are WORSE than the fucking nazi's. the ira arent terrorists, how is defending yourself, ur rights, ur beliefs and country wrong but great for the terrrorist to terrorize it?
u need shot, u know fuck all b4 u say shit abuh history u kno fuk all abuh at least do some research
those british soldiers deserve 2 come home in coffins
@DaorDoBritney The IRA were just worthless cowardly terrorists in civilian clothing. They were not an army at all.
It's great that fucking unemployed loser Bobby Sands starved himself to death.
If the south was part of the UK it wouldn't be completely bankrupt, controlled by the EU and in need of a £73 billion emergency bailout from the IMF and ECB.
@JuanMacready no ur mistaking THE BRITISH ARE WORTHLESS TERRORIST COWARDS HINT BLOODY SUNDAY THE COWARDS WAITED UNTILL 38 YR LATER TO ADMIT TO THEIR AGAIN TERRORIST ACT, OH AND THE COWARD TERRORISTS ALSO BLAMED IT ON SOMEONE ELSE they r fucking cowards n terrorists
u need shot, pz jus do it ur a stupid worthless prick who has to much time on his hands
like i said u dont know heros when u see one the british were fucking TERRIFED of a group of ppl wanted independce and equal rights
@JuanMacready michael collins was a HERO. IF IT WASNT FOR HIM THE MAJORITY OF IRELAND WOULD STILL BE UNDER RULE BY THT TERRORIST SHITHOLE ACROSS THE WATER
i know britian has NEVER had a hero, but we do
kevin barry was fuckinh 18 and still A HERO
all british troops deserve to be killed they are nthing but terrorist, and basically mini hitlers
britian doesnt kno wah its like to fight 4 ur country, they only kno how to terrorize it
i suggest u go bck to school and learn something u idiot
@DaorDoBritney Michael Collins was a stupid uneducated terrorist who got the violent death he deserved. Ireland was much better off as part of the UK instead of just being a bankrupt slave of the EU with its laws dictated by Germany.
Kevin Barry was a cowardly terrorist who deserved to be hanged for murdering three boys.
Churchill should have overrun all the south in May 1940 like Iceland. There are plenty of great Irish heroes - Kitchener, the Duke of Wellington, Wolseley etc.
@DaorDoBritney Actually, the terrorist campaign of 1919-1922 ended in stalemate for both sides. Even Collins himself admitted the IRA were so low on ammunition that they could not keep the fighting going. Therefore both sides had to compromise, and Collins was later killed because he could not get all 32 counties.
Also Colonel Tim Collins OBE is a true hero from my city. I hope he enters politics.
tht time was called THE IRISH WAR OF INDEPENDENCE do u kno wat tht means?
unlike those british terrorists we fought 4 r country
tell me plz, how is it great and wonderful for the british terrorists to terrorize ther countrys but wrong for the ppl of tht ountry to fight bck?
the brits r terrorists fucking deal with it, they are worse than the nazi's and hitler they caused millions of deaths they tortured ppl and murdered innont ppl they r TERRORISTS
Britain quite rightly never acknowledged the terrorist campaign as a war, since the IRA did not wear uniforms and were just terrorists launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians, policemen and soldiers.
I am glad that Northern Ireland was uniting with Britain in World War II while de Valera and the south openly supported Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The present events in Egypt prove Eden was right all along.
britian ARE,terrorists, what the ira did is EXCATLY WHAT THE BRITISH DID AND CONTINUE TO DO BUT WORSE
IRA FOUGHT FOR SOMETHING IMPORTANT, CUZ UNLIKE ORANGE CUNTS HERE WE WERE TRATED LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT IN R OWN COUNTRY, WE GOT SHOT FOR SPEAKING IRISH, GOING TO MASS, PLAYING GAELIC GAMES ALL BY THE BRITISH, britian foughtt and murdered for fun and power, never anything else, if this was teh other way round u wouldnt b sayin shit
@DaorDoBritney Are you really sure you should be telling someone else to get an education, while your comments are full of grammar and spelling mistakes? I hope you were educated in the Republic and not the North, as I would hate to think that Northern Irish schools could fail so badly to teach basic grammar and spelling to someone by the time he or she had reached the age of 16...
@ktockly Maybe so, but some of the first British soldiers to fight in Dublin in 1916 were from the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the Royal Irish Regiment, or in other words Irishmen. That means you are happy that Irishmen were killed by other Irishmen in 1916.
as i am a decended from michael collins i 2 say dat fuk da brits for 700 hundrete yers we fought u wif out fear an we will fights use for 700 mor eire go brach
@RichardElden Fuck you Brits. Fuck you all. You killed more people than Germany ever did before the Holocaust. You created the first fucking concentration camps for Boers.
@Bmanstudios101 No they diddn't the Americans did during the Spanish American War. They were very successful there and that where the British got the idea from during the South Africa War of 1899-1902.
@BradBrassman I believe what you are referring to is the Spanish attempts to quell the insurgencies. Not many people died in those. But in Britain...Oh lord. Kitchner wanted to kill off the populace just to end the war.
What I fail to understand is that the British were fighting against the germans BECAUSE they were invading other lands and expanding an already existant empire, and yet at the EXACT same time they were fighting Ireland against our independance.
@MrMe345 No the First world War was becuase we wanted to limit Germanys naval power as it was a growing threat to are empire officalily because Germany attacked beligum yes but that was just an excuse.
I think you are getting the two world wars mixed up.
@MrMe345 No the First world War was becuase we wanted to limit Germanys naval power as it was a growing threat to are empire officalily because Germany attacked beligum yes but that was just an excuse.
I think you are getting the two world wars mixed up.
@MrMe345 How many britains wanted to be german? ,Not many!. The fact is,many irish were happy to be irish and British (as Scots do today). The Britsh soldiers killing these rebels would have included many irish and the local population couldn't really care either way.
@SuperHeadhunter1995 You have to relise that it was 1916 Britian was in the middle of fighting a major war called World War one you may have heard of it (:
But when the Uprsing happend Britian was in the middle of building up for the battle of the Somme
I am proud to be irish, Take pride in knowing we've had true patriots. if anyone was truly irish, it was Micheal Collins and anyone else who had the cahonies to stand up to the british rule and tell them to FUCK OFF (i have nothing agains british people but u have to admit it was pretty noble.)
@juanmcready. Would u EVER FUCK OFF all irish vids iv visted loads of british vids and never left one rasist comment. NOT ONE. What the hell cant u show that respect on irish ones.
@patrickd7794 How good was your empire? wait... what do you mean you never had one? what do you mean you were colony of Britain? but if those things are true... your country must suck dick...
@InfernalOneShot First of all i am Irish We never had an empire because of are size. Second of all Ireland didnt even have a real Army. Third look at the Countries that England was trying to take over, Ireland was Small and didnt have an army, America was big not powerful at the time and was mainly farmers and India wanted peace not war. Scotland was mainly farmers. Looks to me that England Looked powerful but when u look at the countries they were trying to take over makes them look like Dicks
@patrickd7794 Are you retarded? Ireland didn't win. The war for American independence was between English people and more English people, because there wasn't an America when those who failed so hard in England moved abroad to there.
We granted India independence after the second world war, because Britain is seen as the mother of democracy, which is why all of the other countries in the commonwealth have independence from us now. Enjoy being bailed out by Europe because of your shitty banks.
@InfernalOneShot No i am not retarded because i moved from Ireland to america before that happened. Maybe if England was kind enough to help us out and not being babys this wouldnt be happening.
@patrickd7794 We have the Ulster loyalists who would feel betrayed if the United Kingdom excluded them from it, seeing as Ulster soldiers (and I'm not saying southern Irish soldiers didn't fight well) fought so hard in both world wars for Britain and they feel attached to the U.K.
The monarchy now is nothing more than a tourist attraction really, they have no formal power, they're only there for the tradition.
@InfernalOneShot When i lived in Ireland i lived in dublin and the fourt courts which r shown at the start of this movie still have bullet holes in them today.
A pathetic pro-German uprising by terrorists. De Valer and Michael Collins should have both been hanged in April 1916. General Sir John Maxwell is GOD.
It should be remembered the people of Dublin did NOT support the 1916 rebellion ..... that spat on the rebels in the streets when they were marched away from the post office.
Don't believe me? The Irish Independent newspaper even called for the rebel leaders to be executed. Fact. You can look it up.

@ferdiashepherds Oh God no! But what you don’t say is the paper was owned by whom? Yes that’s right Bill Murphy! Was this the same Bill who fought against the workers, Jim Larkin and Connolly in 1913, the same Bill that set the DMP on the strikers on Aug 30th on Sackville street, the same Bill that with Maxwell called for Connelly’s blood and had him tied to a chair and shot, I think so! Beware of propaganda particularly from newspaper proprietors who have their own agenda... Sucker!
skippership7 2 weeks ago
@skippership7 Great answer except for the final word! I haven't a clue if you're accurate or not but I will take your word for it. As an Englishman I don't feel like a sucker for not knowing Irish newspaper proprietors of a century ago. It still remains true that the Dublin population did NOT support the Easter Uprising at all and indeed condemned the participants; it's only in recent years they have been made into popular martyrs.
Probably because they did it in the middle of a World War!
ferdiashepherds 2 weeks ago
@ferdiashepherds Sorry about that but the truth is only the GPO caused an issue for the Dublin population. What do you think they use it for at that time? pay, pensions, (140,000 IV WW1) money withdrawals, post, etc. You would be pissed off if that facility was suddenly taken away from you and you needed to feed the kids. But where on earth did you get your 2nd comment from? Why do you think there was a split on that bloody treaty? ...The total betrayal of those same martyrs, memories and deeds!
skippership7 2 weeks ago
@skippership7 Don't give me that rubbish. The Dublin population didn't support the Easter Uprising because they couldn't use the Post Office .... that is beyond ridiculous!
They didn't support the uprising because they did it i the middle of a world war in which 1000's of Irishman were fighting against Germany AND they knew the Home Rule bill had only been delayed because of the said war.
Those 'martyrs memories and deeds' were spat upon at the time by their fellow Irishmen. Fact.
ferdiashepherds 2 weeks ago
@ferdiashepherds Ah, beyond ridiculous is it? we’ll, you obviously have much better access to good research and study then I do, so come on lets have it…apart from your imagination (and the propaganda given out by the likes of William Murphy, that great supporter of the ICA, IRB, IV, Na Fianna Eireann and Cumann na mBan) give me qualified facts, researchers, papers, publications, references and dates in support of your statements....And please don’t give that Daily Mail crap!
skippership7 2 weeks ago
@skippership7 My information comes from my wife's family from Ardee one of whom was in Cumann na Ban but I freely admit that you are much better informed than I. Let's turn it around; are you saying that the Dublin population would have fully supported the Easter Uprising if they had just attacked The Four Courts and Custom House?
Your 'they couldn't use the post office' argument seems weak to me but I will be interested in your answer. This is yr history not mine so I am happy to be wrong.
ferdiashepherds 2 weeks ago
@ferdiashepherds Oh what a surprise no documented evidence then? and it’s your history as well a point you seem to be missing: There have always been paid spies and informers whose livelihoods depended on maintaining the status quo – these are the collaborators who had the most to lose (turkeys voting for Christmas etc) not the "population" as you say, and they did not attack the GPO, they occupied it, the British attacked it, so your question ref the Four Courts and Customs House is illogical!
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 Nice perfectly reasonable question avoidence there Shemus! Perhaps a little pedantic and disengenuous though. All I asked you is 'are you saying the population of Dublin supported the Uprising'?'
You and I both know they didn't but you don't want to admit it because you don't want your latter day heroes looking unpopular do you?
At least they were dealt with properly in Kilmainham Gaol ;-)
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds Firstly why are you calling me Shemus I’d love to know? I say again your question is not logical! What’s the logic in occupying a building with a British War Ship with 3” guns (and heavier if needed) pointing directly at you from only 20 yards away? Doh! These were intelligent men and women unlike yourself! So, Casement and Kent executed in Kilmainham eh? Blimey, another fact you got out of the Beano! And they are not my heroes but Irelands, you nor I will ever change that!.
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 Sorry Paddy I shouldn't have called you Shemus.. Casement wasn't part of the uprising and Kent was executed for a seperate murder after the event so what on earth is your point?
I do agree they are Ireland's folk heroes now but at the time they had no support from the Dublin population and it wasn't because people couldn't buy stamps at the bloody post office as you ridiculously suggested earlier!
Top marks though for question avoidance yet again Paddy!
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds My point is you are full of bullshit, a liar, shockingly uninformed on the subject, assumptive and a bigoted fool to boot! Don't you ever get anything right? For example, why do you keep calling me “Paddy or Shemus” when I am English you dickhead! Born in Yorkshire of North York’s and West Country ancestry, raised in York’s and the West Mids, graduated at Cambridge in British and Irish studies and over here completing a DPhil. How much more English can I be....... Twat!!!!
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 I didn't ask for your resume nor your ancestry. Quite frankly, judging by your command of the English language, I doubt you have even been to Cambridge let alone studied there.
Stating the Dublin population did not support the Uprising because they couldn't buy stamps in the GPO is just galatically stupid. Now stop blowing smoke up your own arse and stop avoiding my repeated question little man. Alternatively just crawl back to your bedsit and do some relevant studying.
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds Oh boy you sound pissed off now, assumptions eh, what you can do with them, still it’s your own fault! And who said anything about buying bloody stamps – only you! I was quite clear, we were talking about people like the shawlies, well documented by the likes of Collins in his papers and publications, or are you saying he is wrong and you know more about the Rising than he does?
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 Now who's making assumptions!
I will now accept you refuse to answer my question and we both know why; the fact is Dublin did not support the Uprising and you know it but don't want to admit defeat. Fair enough.
Here's another question. As an Englishman, why are you calling the Uprising terrorists heroes when they were trying to take advantage of Britian being involved in The Great War. Your ancestors were dieing in the fields of Flanders when these terrorists attacked!
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds On your 2nd point, not even the despatches called them that so why should I? Now stop avoiding the question which is, just in case you have forgotten, does Collins account on the motives of the shawlies tied up with my own. It’s just a straight Yes or No?
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 You avoid every question and avoid admitting your 'heroes' had no support from the shawlies or anyone else. You will be slagging off Winston Chrurchill next.
The 'rebels' you idolise so much were ***ts for doing what they did during a world war and they were treated accordingly. 1000's of Irish were fighting the Germans and they were betrayed by your unpopular little band of misfits. Those were the good old days of proper punishments.
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds Look I’ll make this easy for you as you are obviously struggling here!
1) Does Collins account on the motives of the shawlies match my own YES or NO?
2) You say, the rebels (my heroes) had no support from the shawlies or anyone else, so by definition you must be saying that other than the rebels, 100% of the population of Dublin was against the rising YES or NO?
skippership7 1 week ago
@skippership7 No population of any city is 100% anything you silly student. The population of Dublin did not rise up and support the rebels; that is a fact. They were derided and spat upon when marched through the streets and the Dublin press called for their execution.
Those are the facts you keep failing to recognise and yet manage to keep asking puerile questions to try and explain them away. The mere attempt to explain them away proves you know I am correct. Try another tack.
ferdiashepherds 1 week ago
@ferdiashepherds Excellent! Now we are starting to make some progress. Of course your statement ref the rebels had no support from the shawlies “or anyone else” was just ridiculous! But a simple “NO” would have sufficed. And we “agreed a week ago” that some were against the rebels, so why you are still raising it. Move on!
Now, where’s the answer to my 1st question ref Collins account of the shawlies, and it can only be either – “YES” or “NO” or “DON’T KNOW” just 1 of the 3 please!

@ferdiashepherds … and it’s my history not yours-WRONG, oh and you also called them terrorists-WRONG, not even French or Maxwell called them that but you do, I wonder why?

skippership7 1 day ago
@ferdiashepherds I’ll take that as a DON’T KNOW on the Collins question then shell I? Let’s conclude, the only thing you got right was agreeing with me “eventually” that “some” of the population were against the rebels, other than that- You DON’T KNOW who William Murphy is, the executed only became martyrs in recent times-WRONG, Kent executed for murder-WRONG ref71/356 read it!, Casement had nothing to do with the rising-WRONG, I live in a bedsit-WRONG, you called me Paddy and Shemus-WRONG......

Main thing that makes me laugh is how much the Ulster-Prods have lost, even the 'fenians' will be ruling them in the UK
DaveOfIreland 6 months ago
@RichardElden yeah and why shouldn't the UK pay for them? After all they may hold an Irish passport and dual Irish citizenship but it aint the country on their passport that will be footing the bill....
Facts still remain that in Northern Ireland the Catholic Native Irish are growing in number a slowly politically taking over the Protestant Ulster-Scot colonialists, right under their noses within the UK.....
And there is absoulutely nothing the Prods can do about it....
DaveOfIreland 6 months ago
@RichardElden well with the Catholics soon to outnumber the Prods in Northern Ireland they will soon be dictating the province, whether it is in the UK or not isn't of interest, the fact that Irish-Catholics will be in the majority over Protestant-Colonialists is a good thing as it means they will have an even greater say than they already do. Thus eradicating for good the Protestant Colonialists dominance, and within the UK of all places. Haha

@RichardElden yawn here we go again with the fear of the EU.
Yeah it was nice, but Britain cannot afford the Irish banks to go bust because it would have a terrible effect on your own banks, are you naive enough to see it as a gift? Even though it is a loan with interest and it was a measure taken as I've explained previously to safe guard the British banks? Yeah he went from IRA leader to Northern Ireland deputy/joint leader, not too bad.

@RichardElden are we ruled by Britain anymore? Nope
Do the Provisional IRA/Sinn Fein now have a major say in Northern Ireland? Yeah
So as you can see that not only did the Ulster-Scot Protestants lose their dominance on the island of Ireland with Irish Independence, but they don't even control Northern Ireland anymore.
If only the fools had listened to the Irish and English parliamentarians of the 1800's and early 1900's they may have been better off today. Ah well their loss....

@RichardElden if your an Ulster-Protestant Settler, 26 counties of Ireland are indpenendent, something that if the Ulster-Protestants weren't so opposed to Home Rule possibly wouldn't have happened.
Again if Home Rule had have been passed sooner which it would have been only for the Ulster Protestants there would have been no 1916 Rising, and even if there was with Home Rule in place no one would have taken any notice of it.
So in reality you fcuked things up, and paid for it bigtime.....
DaveOfIreland 6 months ago
@RichardElden Look at what was on the table in the Third Home Rule Bill around 1912, an all Ireland parliament within the UK, now most Irish-Nationalists only wanted that, the Irish Republicans who wanted independence at the time were only a tiny minority.
But the ever so dependent Ulster-Scot planters wanted to be ruled by London, instead of ruling themselves in an all Irish parliament within the UK. They were and are Britains over dependent little dogs. And look how much they lost since??
DaveOfIreland 6 months ago
@RichardElden I put forward a factual and educated point and all you can reply with is rubbish......
Home Rule was postponed due to WW1 as I've already stated.
Also look how the UVF in 1912 was threatening not only Ireland with war if Home Rule was passed, but also British troops who if Home Rule had actually passed and the UVF as promised had started a campaign would have attacked British troops who would have been brought in to restore order .
DaveOfIreland 6 months ago
@RichardElden (continued) funny thing is that the several Home Rule Party Irish MP's in Westminister and many English MP's supported Home Rule. It was those damn planted Ulster-Scot Protestants in Ulster who scuppered the other Home Rule bills with their lobbies and non stop dependence of Westminister. The UVF was set up in 1912 BEFORE any Irish paramilitary group, they were threatening both the Irish and even the English if Home Rule was granted. So in effect we begin to see the real enemy.....

@RichardElden China? No the IMF was giving financial aid to the UK in the 1970's, those are the facts, agreed?
Most if not all the Black and Tans where ex WW1 soldiers. Hmm armed soldies representing the British monarch fighting against the Irish, it doesn't matter the fact they weren't even a regiment more a British terror group is all the more scandalous.
It wasn't given in 1914 though, it was postponed. All the Irish wanted throughout all the 1800's was mere Home Rule within the UK....

Llloyd George and Churchill and the rest of those people present in the negotiations where dying for a deal to be struck, George was a good operator and negotiator. But Ireland going from not even mere Home Rule to an independent dominion wasn't bad going

If you acually studied your history, you would know that when the rebels were lead away, the people of Dublin gathered to spit and throw stones at them, because they had husbands, brothers and sons fighting in France. That is the truth. Another is that Devalera killed more rebels members in the years he was in power than the British ever killed in the 700 years they were in Ireland.

@DaorDoBritney Actually, the terrorist campaign of 1919-1922 ended in stalemate for both sides. Even Collins himself admitted the IRA were so low on ammunition that they could not keep the fighting going. Therefore both sides had to compromise, and Collins was later killed because he could not get all 32 counties.

Britain quite rightly never acknowledged the terrorist campaign as a war, since the IRA did not wear uniforms and were just terrorists launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians, policemen and soldiers.
