Those cowards with billions are the enemy. I'll bet if u put a gun in there face they cry like a bitch and i would shoot them and sleep like a baby. Things u say right here can be hold against u in the court of law like martial law. Based on "terrorism," is now even for the average person who is just speaking there heart. I could be arrested for even mention it, all my rights would be takin away. This is no bullshit they make these laws and u don't even know about it.
Well my opinion it's mainly the goverment that caused/cause these things in the first place. It's the people that are dumb enough to join an army to fight for there will. But there just people, educated in what ever in that time the propaganda is. Sadly it's happening all around the world around now financial for sure. That is total corruption and i'm sad to see people hating on eatch others nationalisticly in Europe while there is a greater goal to fight against.
Love Ireland and the Irish. We Brits were 'raped' by the Scandiavians, the French and the Germans - i.e. Vikings, Normans and Saxons so how far back do we go?! Forgive and forget and move on ('Imagine there's no counties')!
To all of my friends, distant family, and dear civilians in Ireland, I am English, but I support Irish Republicanism for the following reasons.
1. I'm not an imperialist, facist, or slave driver like most people tend to view us. I believe any Island nation has a right to its own land to be governed
2. My family came over from Galway, and if you translate Ruane into Gaelic it's O'Ruadhain
3. I celebrate S.T Patricks day because of my Irish heritageTBC>
@MattRuaneBlog TBC> I was personally threatened by on several occasions by Ulstermen because I said "Happy St Patricks Day". You could always imagine how I'd feel about that, it's like being racially abused, you just feel like a piece of cold shit. I can only ever imagine the crap that The Black and Tans spread all over Eire. It kinda makes them look more like Al-Qaeda.
Just remember people like John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and I support a United Isalnd of Ireland.
@MattRuaneBlog good man........its all made up labels at the end of the day.....the word british used to be given only to the welsh and cornish before the 1707 act of union.....english is a forced elitism forced on you ppl in modern england.....we are brothers but you were anglicised first
That must be hurt when smart and celebrity Brit talk true about Britain ,but government and many Brits don't wanna recognized they wrong,and they took neighbors land---ordinary thieves ,Gay's who pretend to be so Culture and under us peasants !!!LONG LIVE IRELAND,DAY WILL COME,WHEN WE CROATIANS MADE FREEDOM FROM WORST SCAM SERBS,YOU WILL OVERCOME THIS GAYS, PEDOPHILES WHO LIVE ON OLD GLORY--they already know that no one can't live from old glory!!

A four eyed hippy trying to be all things to all people. I dont know if it was Jokos influence or all his fame made him what he become but he was a fake arsehole in his last years...ytpical fukin hippy champaigne socialist and wtf is all that gay naked shit pics he did...total effed up fruitcake...funny Paul never went like that..too much smack probs
@despuis I have seen Maccas song and some1 sent me this vid. Beatles WERENT IRA sprtrs , they supported a unified Ireland..BIG difference. My great grandparents are Irish and many Brits are Irish descent so we owe u eff all...but that massive money u got to save ur arses off EU wiil prob help.This vids a JL song , not a effin IRA site.I agree ireland should be united , but am sick of lil bitches hating on UK when my family did F all to ireland or any1.Are Italy gona pay us for da romans lol ?
@XxpauldadudexX John Lennon was pictured with placards supporting the IRA, and met with IRA men in New York including Gerry O'Hare the Provos' 'Belfast Brigade' press officer. He said Lennon offered to do two concerts for them in Dublin and Belfast to fund raise, but 'appeared confused about the conflict'. David Shayler claims Lennon di send money to IRA, but Yoko denies this, and the FBI file on him ONLY shows he sent money to the Civil Rights Movement of NI.
@XxpauldadudexX He did however distance himself totally from the IRA when they started their bombing campaign in mainland Britian 74, during which civilians were targeted, and later expressed regret for involving himself in 'politics' so deeply, when really he was an entertainer.
@jacksbacksucker You are'nt a suck up n I like that. You don't agree with all I say and all what others say but you say da facts. I love da Beatles also but, just cuz I love them am not gonna be fake and agree with everything thay say....lol n I think Yoko shoulda had her vocal cords removed....oh ..hmmm actually I think she did by the sound of her xP PS John and YOKO traeted Cynthia disgusting...they slept together while he was still with his wife...so all these Yoko suck ups...remember that
@despuis You see wrong then. Cuz Jack said John distanced himself from the Psycho cowards in masks IRA when they started MURDERING unarmed folk...like 2 lil boys in Warrington..yeah so tuff da twats. But , lol , that was da end for da kid killers cuz EVERY1 in da world realised they aint freedom fighters...just bastards. Oh I noticed u talked shit to me ages ago here...yep just a tytpical wanka hater bigot livin in tha past u arsehole..lolo actually am prob 75% irish but I am English n proud =)
@Maxsarkar LMFAO , Dude I think you'll find Russia and China have a looooong history of Imperialism , genocide and opression OF THEIR OWN FUKIN FOLK and its STILL occuring now you numbnuts PRICK. ..ASK CHECHNYA N TIBET YOU moron..1 to 100 on you aint white or English...just get that fukin big chip off ur shoulder read some history and get some fukin knowledge about world politics cuz you sound dumber than my 7 yr old brother you fukin jerk
Tibetan wants to remain in Peoples Republic of Cinia rather than colonised by UK. UK is now dead, they are no longer imperialist and they have lost their all power in our eyes. Now be ready to face us...India, China and Russia. If you are not....you will face a same consequence what the English had done to India.
@Maxsarkar Well if you dont like English gtfo cuz 70% of N zealanders r English descent but its 100% maoris land so youre a imperialist living in the maoris land...so dont criticize britain...I am English/american n live in my own nation...your a invader so gtfo or stfu before being nasty to British people. Me n my family never inaded noones land or conquered them or hurt them n I'm fed up of people hating on my nation. Actually we're too soft and every f**** is coming to live here in England.
@Maxsarkar Be quiet idiot , I am in college and havent killed or invaded anyone. YOu fukin have though. If ur an adult who moved to New Zealand ur a invader...so gtfo u hypocrite and give the land back to maoris
First of all, I am here on behalf of Maoris...And I am doing political work for themmm...Secondly you did not criticize imperialism of Shitty Queen of England.
i think jl was only speaking the facts ? about the evil in the north of ireland ? where the irish where being treated like scum by the evil protestant/loyalist/british scum ? aint that soo tru ? jl was a revolutionary and a man of freedom :) who wanted justice for all :0 ?aint that bit soo tru ? :) ofc any protestant scum wil try and discredit jl bcause he favoured a unified ireland :) he only sang the truth :) just remember the my people :) jl was not a fool :)
Shit happens people. Good people do bad things and bad do good. Let us pray that the past is not repeated and that our children live in love. I spent 30 years of my life under threat. Peace is a wonderful thing!
Britain today still takes part in other people's wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia). Its still the same Imperialism and its still covers the flag in blood - including those of young British soldiers themselves. When will we ever learn? John was against all wars - and told it like it is, even though he was English he could still see the wrongs of politicians who made others fight their political wars.
As a song writer and musician he was great but Lennon was certainly full of shit when it comes to ireland and politics. Totally agree on the brainwashing part. And whats this "english divided the land"? Last i checked, it was ulster SCOTS who immigrated to what is no Northern Ireland.
@RawJobber Of course if you look at all the so called 'English' to commit attrocities or colonial outrages in Ireland, from Strongbow De Clare, through Devereux, the Earl of Essex, even Oliver Cromwell, they are almost without exception part of the same ruling Norman elite that put down the English even more savagely in their land too. The Tudors a Welsh dynasty started the problems in Ulster, the Stuarts a Scotch dynasty consolidated and entrenched them. The English are relatively blameless.
@RawJobber I think John was if truth be told unhappy with England when he wrote this song for the unfair and hypocritcal way Yoko had been treated in press and public, and he wanted to embrace a new identity, American/Irish/ whatever. He was no historian. That said the English themselves don't help matters by supporting the ruling elite (still fucking them over..see a government cabinet of millionair tory's) and not realising they are as much victims of 'empire' as the Scots, Irish and Welsh.
@jacksbacksucker Lennon, like many people in the north-west has Irish ancestry somewhere in his faily tree. Im suprised that someone who talked about peace all the time would sing such a song when he surely knew what kind of trouble a song like this could stir up.
@WorkOrRiot JL had Catholic Irish ancestry on his fathers side, and Ulster Protestant Ancestry on his mothers. His uncle in Liverpool was even a member of the Orange Order. His aunt Mimi who bought him up was very anti-catholic and anti-Irish, so that was the influence on him growing. I think this probably also played some part in him embracing his 'Irishness' in later life, because he'd been bought up to be ashamed of it.
@WorkOrRiot I do agree though it's ironic he sang thse songs, promoting 'nationalism' less than a year after singing 'Imagine no countries'. He was in NY surrounded by many Irish republicans and also it was the time of Bloody Sunday, it was an emotional time with ballte lines drawn, a peaceful message might have been more helpful true.
@RawJobber Yep < i went off Lennon when he let that horrible singing witch wife JOKO sing and he became a househusband...he ended up one of the biggest phonies ever and conradicted himself so much he become a joko like yoko....I prefer John Lennon in the 60s...before Joko '' accidentally '' met him in a freako art gallery in London an she had never heard of da Beatles...lmao yeah sure
@XxpauldadudexX yoko is not well liked by many of the beatles' fans..the day lennon hooked up with her was the beginning of the end for the beatles..the pre-yoko lennon was way much better than the post-yoko lennon!
@clouds882 I'm a Beatle fan and I couldn't disagree more. John had outgrown the Beatles long before Yoko come on the scene. He always had a very zany irreverent side, and Yoko bought that out in him, they were a perfect match. I can't say i care for her singing no, but I admire her personality. If nothing else her dedication to the peace movement was always stronger than John, and remains so to this day, she deserves credit for that.
Irish Republican Mythology unfortunately feeds ignorance. John Lennon is an example of someone who supports something they know nothing about, except from what they've been told. It is time for this nonsense to be challenged for what it is; brainwashing nonsense.
@snowedinpatrol Lennon told the truth quite clearly and succinctly,britains history is no different from nazi germany other than over a longer period. todays britain bears little resemblance to its criminal past,though it carries the baggage from that period examine your own brainwashing if you believe britain has a right to a part of another country with a small british minority whose presence was brought about through genocide of the native population ,4 independant republics is the answer
John Lennon, Irish ancestry born in Liverpool, sang this song - then went to live in the USA. Hypocrite? If he cared so much for Ireland why did he not go and live in Dublin and support the PIRA? Was he afraid to put his money where his mouth was?
@DorsetRod He did support the IRA and had meetings with them in New York, and expressed a wish to retire to Ireland. Yoko Ono strenously denies they financially supported the IRA, though they did give money to the Civil Defense League of Northern Ireland, which may have filtered through. I believe this as the C.I.A was watching him very closely and would have known if it wasn't true. Ironically though the IRA man who dealt with Lennon, said Lennon grasp of the Irish situation was basic &confused
@DorsetRod Also he sang this song AFTER he went to live in the U.S.A it was recorded in New York. He left England because Yoko Onos husband had abducted her daughter Kyoko and taken her to America. They needed to be there to track her down and fight for custody. Lennon fell in love with New York and wanted to stay there. He'd had a hard time in England as people there blamed Yoko for splitting the Beatles, and were openly hostile and insulting towards her.
Lennon was a musician, one of the greatest ever, his voice was his weapon so in a way this is the best and most powerful support he could give which he did.
Funny how people always say luck of the Irish when they have never been lucky at all. Thank god for the UK and the EU, as the Irish always need to be rescued by a union. If they'd been independent during the famine, they'd have been totally screwed. An agricultural-only nation relying on just one vegetable that had no money would have lost it's entire population. Being in the UK at least meant it only lost 1 million as the UK sent corn. And the UK&EU have just had to rescue them - AGAIN!
@DorsetRod just like all these other 'rebel' or 'honest' popstars... wether you talk about MJ preaching about the man in the mirror, Pink confronting a president or any other western music artist peforming supposedly political/social critial music. its just like the big majority of people in the west; hypocrites. in essence; first me (no, not in basic form, but rich and comfy), then there is time for the rest and time for bashing. yes, i agree and share your opinion.
@DorsetRod how arrogant you people are.NOTbritish territory but british theft by murder,:Irish question:very reminisicent of the nazis :jewish question:(with similar end result)
@despuis How arrogant you Canadians are. Northern Ireland IS British soverein territory recognised for many years now by the Irish Republican Government in Dublin - or perhaps your information is out of date? If you can't keep up, keep out of British and Irish politics and deal with your own country first, I suggest. Next you'll be saying that Canada was created out of British theft and murder...lmao, the very thought of it.
@DorsetRod i happen to be irish ,those dublin sycophantic corupt arse kisers have as much right to make deals on our behalf as your(butchers apron) british flag has to be in any part of Ireland.i do buisnes in Canada U.S/AU these countries indigenous peoples, have suffered from british lust for power & greed.Gvmnts there have made massive inroads today in adressing the wrongs created by the noble british empire. soon martin mcguinness may be president of all Ireland,pretty good old for ira man
@despuis McGuinness the terrorist murderer can kiss my arse, soon as he gets any power as president of the Republic (get it right,) and becomes a sycophantic, corrupt arse kisser himself he has lost all credibility. Canada never suffered from British lust for power, we kicked the French out so there was no problem..lol! I am proud of the noble British Empire and wish we still stomped around the whole of Ireland, we should never have given it away.Lennon's crass propaganda won't change my mind.
@DorsetRod seems to me some village in Dorset is missing its idiot.there are stil 10 million french people living in canada last time i checked.sorry i didnt realise you were an aristocrat as you believe IRL was yours to give away,its my guess an aristocrat wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire.BTW poor job of kicking the french out.i agree Lennon wont change your mind,you would have to have one to begin with.stick to looting &pissing it up,geo/political commentry is for not you.. WERE DONE
@despuis The French scum are living in the town where my father was born not far from Ottawa in our wonderful colonial days. We kicked them outa Nova Scotia and should have finished the job. Ireland did belong to the English by conquest, quite an easy thing to do I believe, just as England was conquered by the Normans so the Normans expanded their empire and headed west to Wales and Ireland. To the victor goes the spoils, it was ever thus. Seems to me like you don't know your history, fucktard.
@MrBillyhunchback - What about the English fighting back? The Irish were the original raiders of the British Isles, not the Brits. The Romans called the Irish raiders Scoti. The Irish used to raid and kidnap Britons to use as slaves. St.Patrick was a kidnapped Briton. Irish set up kingdoms in Britain (Dal Riata) before Brits even set foot in Ireland. It was the Irish who caused trouble first and the Brits who fought back. History is funny and throws up surprises when you look back far enough.
@DorsetRod Strongbow (Robert de Clare), 1169, a Frenchman. Robert Devereux 1590-1601, French Norman. Oliver Cromwell 1650-660, French Norman (Cromwell descends from William D'Aubigny of Manche, France, whose family took Cromwell, Nottinghamshire as their seat and adopted its name). Marshal Schomberg, 1690, Chief Commander at the Boyne, French Huguenot. The French huguenot regiments outnumbered all others at the boyne,and were the cream of the Dutchman William of Orange's. fighintg force.
@DorsetRod You talk abouth history but from what i can see the 'English' conquest of Ireland was largely the responsibility of the same 'French Scum' you profess to hate so much. Certainly not the poor downtrodden Anglo-Saxon English who havn't held power in their own lands since 1066. They have been disenfranchised longer than their Celtic brothers, and the fact they've been fooled into thinking the empire was built by or for their benefit is sad indeed. England needs independance much as Eire.
@jacksbacksucker lets not cry about the saxons....they were pretty damn ruthless and had the welsh as slaves in townships know called "walton" and other now very corrupted settlement meanings still around. The saxons just suffered from a bigger bully...maybe its kharma........they kicked out the brythons from Exeter and then only 100 years later they get their arse kicked..........btw genetics told me in uni that saxons are minority elite...most english are old school brythons but germanised
@Apemanwithcalculator All very true. I'm not pro 'Saxon' 'Viking'or anything else. Truth is all these people were brutal, because people in general are brutal, now as then. I mean you could say exactly the same for the Celtic/Brythonic Pictish tribes. It makes me laugh these people who promote the Celts as some sort of early day pagan hippy sect. They were headhunters, and savage beyond belief. In their own mythology/history admit to enslaving the previous inhabitants of Britain and Ireland.
@Apemanwithcalculator I'm sceptical about genetics myself, but it does back up other evidence too from archeology. I believe the Britons who had been under Roman rule were used to subservience and lost their self sufficiency to such a degree they welcomed, or at least accepted and aped, the new Saxon/Angle ruling elite which was relatively small. No doubt small scale battles and massacres occured, but not widespread, indeed no archeoligcal evidence ever found to support that to date.
@jacksbacksucker genetics provides better evidence than stories made up by the romans about the celts "head hunting".....true the druids were probably up their own arse but the atrocities committed on romans was greatly exagerrated to get support from rome for invasion
@Apemanwithcalculator I do believe they were head hunters, there is evidence of this in the La Tene Cave paitings of severed heads, plus Celtic mythology abounds with tales where heroes and their opponents have their heads severed, and the head is then carried in triumph. I think your scepticism of the Romans impartiality is well founded of course, but in this case there is corroboration. Of course Celts, Germans, Latins all Indo Europeans, all had similar customs at times.
@jacksbacksucker La tene caves arent in the british isles, total different geographic area...the celts werent an empire.......anyway i am not stick up for the pagan celts who were as ignorant as the other head hunting tribes across the world
@Apemanwithcalculator The la Tene Culture is believed to be Celtic. The Celts of course stretched all across Europe, the British isles included. I know they didn't have 'empire' in the sense of Rome, but still, they like the Germanics, almost certainly moved into lands as a smallish 'ruling' elite, overpowering the natives. This is certainly evident in their mythology for what it is worth.The Indo-European tribes, Roman, Saxons, Celts, were all fairly similar springing from a common tribal root
@jacksbacksucker it is believed that under gaullic society...yes they loved a good fight but life was short anyway...but they looked after orphans and disabled people...with women without children taking these carer roles...the romans on the other hand left them to die. archaelogy points to orphan dumps where they left to fend fer themselves...sad thing is the irish became romanised through the catholic churhc when celtic chritianity seemed much more egalitarian.
@Apemanwithcalculator I am not saying the Saxons were in Dorset from the beginning of time, whatever gave you the idea I thought they were? The original tribes of Dorset were the Durotriges tribe, from whom Dorset gets its name. They were here when the Romans arrived in 43AD to conquer the country. I am not sure what language they spoke but it certainly was not Germanic, - probably Celtic or Ancient British or a mixture of the two. All language is fluid/ever changing. Modern English is a hybrid.
@DorsetRod The archeaological record shows there were people living in the area of Dorset right back to the Neolithic era, at least, predating the Celtic tribes such as the Durotriges by many thousands of years. The Celts came acorss the Sea in the late Bronze age and Iron age, and are as much invaders to this land as anyone. We'll never know what language the original inhabitants of these isles spoke as they left no written record to reconstruct it. Even their culture is largely mysterious.
@jacksbacksucker A pity back in the bronze and iron ages the Celts didn't have armoured cars and tanks and guns to bring slaughter, i cant beleive some of you guys were paid tuition fees at uni to learn fuck all and suck up all you were told. C'mon open your minds, think for yourselves. This is why uk is so fucked, open your eyes. Britannia once ruled the waves but watch wher our so called favourite allies (usa) lead us, i fear for my kids and grandkids over next generation.
@jacksbacksucker hes confusing the real british - the celts ..with the anglo norman imperialists who conquered a third of the world lol..UK is fucked up due to ignorance not because of external factors
@paulkeen65 Britannia true meaning was stolen by the english state...."once ruled the waves" what you mean the corrupt anglo norman elite that suppress the celtic peasants....most english are of celtic stock not some trumped up norman land owning aristocrats now swanning about as fat tory mps with cameron
@3tangle3 "Britannia true meaning was stolen by the english state" The Norman state. It is time we all stop seperating the English. In these Isles they have suffered the most. Whereas the Welsh remained free unti the 1300's, the Scots until the 1600's, the English have not been free since 1066. They were massacred by the normans on a scale greater than the Irish/Scots & Welsh. The Irish in comparison, 80% of them at least have thrown off the overlords, & are only independant state in these isles
@jacksbacksucker i just saw :if tomorrow never comes:, i really enjoyed it ,thanx jack ,i dont know why you respond to that idiot RE,its obvios he,s just baiting
@DorsetRod all I think apeman was trying to say was that the anglo-celtic history of england should be better respected.....I live near shropshire and they totally ignore the welsh speaking communities in its west...who were speaking welsh until as late as 1930s....lack of welsh medium education was final nail in coffin. But I digress lol. Peace
@3tangle3 Not having a pop at you you understand, just the people of these isles have been divided to long by those above, we need to come together and work together towards four independant REPUBLICS, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. A confederate of equals with mutual respect for each other.
@jacksbacksucker NO JOKE, but that would be awesome...throw in a stannary parliament with autonomy for far flung cornwall and maybe devon and thats perfect..........(up to public vote ofc)
I want to travel into space...I dont really care about petty behaviour....what i hate is ppl from england telling me I cant think different or be different.....luckily they are a dwindling number
@despuis - There isn't 10 million French people living in Canada at all. Where do you get your facts from? There are 10 million people living in Canada who speak French but that doesn't make them French. If language denotes nationality; then Canada has 24 million English people living there and the USA has 312 million English people. The Irish speak English, does that make them English? French-Canadians aren't French anymore than people in Belgium who speak French are.
So much hate on here, Grow up guys, and I am saying this to both sides. I am irish and I hate all this fucking bigotry. To all irish people, stop making nationalistic comments and instigating rows, to all British people on here, stop making ignorant comments about the IRA, your coutnrymen would have done the same thing if you were being occupied by a imperial power discriminating against the majority of the population.
@despuis clearly judging by the comments the british education system is in sad decline.isnt it odd how british people have chosen this site to discuss their own history instead of the negative impact they have had by their presence in our country
@3tangle3 you have to ask yourself,why are these moronic brits even on this site(not you jbs)their lives are so empty meaningless they are on a site they have no empathy with,seems the brits have a need to impose themselves where thet dont belong even in cyber space.England,s such a sad mess of a sewer they try to divert themselves i suppose,they should try fixing their own country instead of looting it.thank god the beatles were liverpool irish ira and told the world the truth,tiochfaidh ar la

To all of my friends, distant family, and dear civilians in Ireland, I am English, but I support Irish Republicanism for the following reasons.
1. I'm not an imperialist, facist, or slave driver like most people tend to view us. I believe any Island nation has a right to its own land to be governed
2. My family came over from Galway, and if you translate Ruane into Gaelic it's O'Ruadhain
3. I celebrate S.T Patricks day because of my Irish heritageTBC>

@XxpauldadudexX John Lennon was pictured with placards supporting the IRA, and met with IRA men in New York including Gerry O'Hare the Provos' 'Belfast Brigade' press officer. He said Lennon offered to do two concerts for them in Dublin and Belfast to fund raise, but 'appeared confused about the conflict'. David Shayler claims Lennon di send money to IRA, but Yoko denies this, and the FBI file on him ONLY shows he sent money to the Civil Rights Movement of NI.

Britain today still takes part in other people's wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia). Its still the same Imperialism and its still covers the flag in blood - including those of young British soldiers themselves. When will we ever learn? John was against all wars - and told it like it is, even though he was English he could still see the wrongs of politicians who made others fight their political wars.

@RawJobber Of course if you look at all the so called 'English' to commit attrocities or colonial outrages in Ireland, from Strongbow De Clare, through Devereux, the Earl of Essex, even Oliver Cromwell, they are almost without exception part of the same ruling Norman elite that put down the English even more savagely in their land too. The Tudors a Welsh dynasty started the problems in Ulster, the Stuarts a Scotch dynasty consolidated and entrenched them. The English are relatively blameless.
jacksbacksucker 3 months ago
@RawJobber I think John was if truth be told unhappy with England when he wrote this song for the unfair and hypocritcal way Yoko had been treated in press and public, and he wanted to embrace a new identity, American/Irish/ whatever. He was no historian. That said the English themselves don't help matters by supporting the ruling elite (still fucking them over..see a government cabinet of millionair tory's) and not realising they are as much victims of 'empire' as the Scots, Irish and Welsh.

@jacksbacksucker Lennon, like many people in the north-west has Irish ancestry somewhere in his faily tree. Im suprised that someone who talked about peace all the time would sing such a song when he surely knew what kind of trouble a song like this could stir up.
WorkOrRiot 3 months ago
@WorkOrRiot JL had Catholic Irish ancestry on his fathers side, and Ulster Protestant Ancestry on his mothers. His uncle in Liverpool was even a member of the Orange Order. His aunt Mimi who bought him up was very anti-catholic and anti-Irish, so that was the influence on him growing. I think this probably also played some part in him embracing his 'Irishness' in later life, because he'd been bought up to be ashamed of it.

@WorkOrRiot I do agree though it's ironic he sang thse songs, promoting 'nationalism' less than a year after singing 'Imagine no countries'.

If nothing else her dedication to the peace movement was always stronger than John, and remains so to this day, she deserves credit for that.

@DorsetRod He did support the IRA and had meetings with them in New York, and expressed a wish to retire to Ireland. Yoko Ono strenously denies they financially supported the IRA, though they did give money to the Civil Defense League of Northern Ireland, which may have filtered through. I believe this as the C.I.A was watching him very closely and would have known if it wasn't true. Ironically though the IRA man who dealt with Lennon, said Lennon grasp of the Irish situation was basic &confused

@DorsetRod Also he sang this song AFTER he went to live in the U.S.A it was recorded in New York. He left England because Yoko Onos husband had abducted her daughter Kyoko and taken her to America. They needed to be there to track her down and fight for custody. Lennon fell in love with New York and wanted to stay there. He'd had a hard time in England as people there blamed Yoko for splitting the Beatles, and were openly hostile and insulting towards her.

Funny how people always say luck of the Irish when they have never been lucky at all. Thank god for the UK and the EU, as the Irish always need to be rescued by a union. If they'd been independent during the famine, they'd have been totally screwed. An agricultural-only nation relying on just one vegetable that had no money would have lost it's entire population. Being in the UK at least meant it only lost 1 million as the UK sent corn. And the UK&EU have just had to rescue them - AGAIN!

@DorsetRod You talk abouth history but from what i can see the 'English' conquest of Ireland was largely the responsibility of the same 'French Scum' you profess to hate so much. Certainly not the poor downtrodden Anglo-Saxon English who havn't held power in their own lands since 1066. They have been disenfranchised longer than their Celtic brothers, and the fact they've been fooled into thinking the empire was built by or for their benefit is sad indeed.

@Apemanwithcalculator All very true. I'm not pro 'Saxon' 'Viking'or anything else. Truth is all these people were brutal, because people in general are brutal, now as then. I mean you could say exactly the same for the Celtic/Brythonic Pictish tribes. It makes me laugh these people who promote the Celts as some sort of early day pagan hippy sect. They were headhunters, and savage beyond belief. In their own mythology/history admit to enslaving the previous inhabitants of Britain and Ireland.
jacksbacksucker 3 months ago
@Apemanwithcalculator I'm sceptical about genetics myself, but it does back up other evidence too from archeology. I believe the Britons who had been under Roman rule were used to subservience and lost their self sufficiency to such a degree they welcomed, or at least accepted and aped, the new Saxon/Angle ruling elite which was relatively small. No doubt small scale battles and massacres occured, but not widespread, indeed no archeoligcal evidence ever found to support that to date.
jacksbacksucker 3 months ago
@jacksbacksucker genetics provides better evidence than stories made up by the romans about the celts "head hunting".....true the druids were probably up their own arse but the atrocities committed on romans was greatly exagerrated to get support from rome for invasion
Apemanwithcalculator 3 months ago
@Apemanwithcalculator I do believe they were head hunters, there is evidence of this in the La Tene Cave paitings of severed heads, plus Celtic mythology abounds with tales where heroes and their opponents have their heads severed, and the head is then carried in triumph. I think your scepticism of the Romans impartiality is well founded of course, but in this case there is corroboration. Of course Celts, Germans, Latins all Indo Europeans, all had similar customs at times.

Apemanwithcalculator 3 months ago
@Apemanwithcalculator The la Tene Culture is believed to be Celtic. The Celts of course stretched all across Europe, the British isles included. I know they didn't have 'empire' in the sense of Rome, but still, they like the Germanics, almost certainly moved into lands as a smallish 'ruling' elite, overpowering the natives. This is certainly evident in their mythology for what it is worth.The Indo-European tribes, Roman, Saxons, Celts, were all fairly similar springing from a common tribal root

I am not sure what language they spoke but it certainly was not Germanic, - probably Celtic or Ancient British or a mixture of the two. All language is fluid/ever changing. Modern English is a hybrid.

@DorsetRod The archeaological record shows there were people living in the area of Dorset right back to the Neolithic era, at least, predating the Celtic tribes such as the Durotriges by many thousands of years.

@paulkeen65 Britannia true meaning was stolen by the english state...."once ruled the waves" what you mean the corrupt anglo norman elite that suppress the celtic peasants....most english are of celtic stock not some trumped up norman land owning aristocrats now swanning about as fat tory mps with cameron

@3tangle3 "Britannia true meaning was stolen by the english state" The Norman state. It is time we all stop seperating the English. In these Isles they have suffered the most. Whereas the Welsh remained free unti the 1300's, the Scots until the 1600's, the English have not been free since 1066. They were massacred by the normans on a scale greater than the Irish/Scots & Welsh. The Irish in comparison, 80% of them at least have thrown off the overlords, & are only independant state in these isles

@DorsetRod all I think apeman was trying to say was that the anglo-celtic history of england should be better respected.....I live near shropshire and they totally ignore the welsh speaking communities in its west...who were speaking welsh until as late as 1930s....lack of welsh medium education was final nail in coffin. But I digress lol. Peace

@3tangle3 Not having a pop at you you understand, just the people of these isles have been divided to long by those above, we need to come together and work together towards four independant REPUBLICS, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. A confederate of equals with mutual respect for each other.

@jacksbacksucker NO JOKE, but that would be awesome...throw in a stannary parliament with autonomy for far flung cornwall and maybe devon and thats perfect..........(up to public vote ofc)
I want to travel into space...I dont really care about petty behaviour....what i hate is ppl from england telling me I cant think different or be different.....luckily they are a dwindling number

@despuis - There isn't 10 million French people living in Canada at all. Where do you get your facts from? There are 10 million people living in Canada who speak French but that doesn't make them French. If language denotes nationality; then Canada has 24 million English people living there and the USA has 312 million English people. The Irish speak English, does that make them English? French-Canadians aren't French anymore than people in Belgium who speak French are.

So much hate on here, Grow up guys, and I am saying this to both sides. I am irish and I hate all this fucking bigotry. To all irish people, stop making nationalistic comments and instigating rows, to all British people on here, stop making ignorant comments about the IRA, your coutnrymen would have done the same thing if you were being occupied by a imperial power discriminating against the majority of the population.

@despuis clearly judging by the comments the british education system is in sad decline.isnt it odd how british people have chosen this site to discuss their own history instead of the negative impact they have had by their presence in our country

@3tangle3 you have to ask yourself,why are these moronic brits even on this site(not you jbs)their lives are so empty meaningless they are on a site they have no empathy with,seems the brits have a need to impose themselves where thet dont belong even in cyber space.England,s such a sad mess of a sewer they try to divert themselves i suppose,they should try fixing their own country instead of looting it.thank god the beatles were liverpool irish ira and told the world the truth,tiochfaidh ar la

I can tell you've not met many English people and watched a hell of a lot of American movies.
English people are just as bad as Irish people, japanese, scots, somalians, Frenchmen, italians ect. ect, ect.
