Is there still a Workers Party club house in the Markets? Last time i was home (from California) it was looking very run down.

[redtopc20xe]

It takes 10 days to get authority 2 wipe out an Al Queda terrorist. 10 mins to do a supposedly IRA supporter. Work it out?

My granda used to work in Inglis's bakery big danny

[humanity1798]

Well done, victory to the Workers Party of Ireland.

[josparkes1]

Very good song here, sung well !

[tipp1959]

Its songs like these that that put to shame the lack of action from the south,i have often thought the Republican`s in the North are twice the people than those of the rest of Ireland.

Pure Class.

@tipp1959 What because we decided not to pick a fight with someone who would blast us into the next centuary. You lot are more then welcome to come to the south...........

[tipp1959]

@Lordangers HI I am "not you lot" as you called it.

I am from your lot!!!!!!!!!!! my point is the people of the 6 northen counties have more balls than the rest of us put together.

[Lordangers]

@tipp1959 Was the Omaha bombing courage? It takes more courage to not use guns when your trying to stop the guy with the guns. I hate the British government for occupying the north but I will have patience with the peace work.

Interesting that the mother of a leading INLA figure would be singing this...about an OIRA hero. As a Yank who was there in the 70's & who ended up with friends on both sides of that split, I've always felt that the OIRA/INLA split was far more destructive to the ultimate goal of A 32 COUNTY WORKERS REPUBLIC, than the 69/70 Provo split was....any discussion on this?

One of the best Republican Socialist songs ever made.

[eyeries1]

True for you, marketmade. And Margaret had a grand voice altogether. Reminds me a bit of Kathleen Largey. I will post another song by Margaret soon. I wonder, is she still alive?

[marketmade]

shes alive and kicking m8,i live just beside her.

[dirtybitcg]

@eyeries1

[mrsjaycloth]

[mrsjaycloth]

@eyeries1 Kathleen died in the 1970's , God rest her
