And it's hard to take your word for it, even though you live where you live, because every piece of reliable information I can find speaks against you.
yeah, exactly, there were no Irish troops in the north because Ireland doesn't go around invading countries! And after loyalists bombed the Republic of Ireland, they would have had an excuse!
The idea that Dal Riata was an Irish Gaelic colony is far from proven fact. And I think you are basing your understanding of Tristan and Isolde on the modern film interpretation. I have read the original, and to me it sounds more like a bunch of raiding from one coastline to another, and not an example of any kind of long-term colonization.
I mean, if we're going to live in a "survival-of-the-fittest" kind of way, why did we even build civilizations? With that kind of "civilization", we should have stayed in the wild, and at least then we would have a cleaner, healthier environment to live in.
You can't be a hun and a civilized man at the same time. The strong have NO right to oppress the weak, and if you disagree with that you have the mentality of a Hun, and thus your comments have no bearing on rational thought.
Ireland has never been a weak nation. I will gladly fight anyone who says otherwise. The Irish have always been formidable in war, and famous for it, but not so much in matters of diplomacy and negotiation. This fact was seized upon by the british. They took Ireland only by using Ireland's own crooked nobility against it. And when I hear people using social Darwinism as an excuse for invasions, conquests, and other acts of tyranny, I see a person who doesn't know right from wrong.
The cold truth is, it's all about survival of the fittest. Ireland has always been a weak nation & the English a powerful nation. If Ireland were stronger, the English would never have invaded. I know people don't like hearing things like this but it's a fact. The strong come out on top in nature.
and by the way, I just want to say that every loyalist is a dog, licking the boots of the scum they serve. Hey, how does it make you feel to know that the British put your kind in jail just like they do with republicans? I mean, look at poor, poor Billy Wright...first the British jail him and then the republicans kill his nazi ass while he's in jail! The rest of the world laughs at slaves who suffer the yoke willingly. Just goes to show that some slaves grow to love their masters no matter what.
"If you show that this country (Southern Ireland),is going to be governed by Catholic ideas,and Catholic ideas alone,you will never get the North.You will put a wedge in the midst of this Nation."Quite prophetic,Non! This is why Prods oppose a Republican UI.Now,a Federal NI - That would be more appealing to the Prods,but still wouldn't satisfy the Irish .A state within a state,under Irish rule but with the rights to make it's own laws as the people(s) living here see fit.That would be progress.
The Gaelic language will return, Ireland will be reunited, and Ireland will be whole and Gaelic again. Long live ireland, her language, and her people!
In terms of DNA the Celts are the Irish only, Modern Scottish DNA shows they are far more like the English and Welsh. But thats unsurprising since immigrants to Scotland over the past centuries have been mainly English.
Actually some of the people who hated Kennedy the most where those who came from "Ulster-Scot" (Scottish squatter) stock. Mostly because he was Catholic. I have family who are Scotch-Irish and German protestants. They didn't like my father, because he was Catholic. That didn't stop them from asking for his help. My parents were very accepting, but I wasn't stupid and could see the hypocrisy even in America to this day. The US was built on the backs of Catholic immigrants.
@AmericanFenian Good for them, Jack Kennedy was a bigot, Lee Harvey Oswald should've got a medal Lol. But you haven't answered my question about you being a sectarian idiot. Why would Ulster-Scots love the Kennedys? One of the most corrupt and bigoted families in US politics! Wtf is your point? Your the one talking shite about Protestants you muppet...
What exactly is your point? I simply stated that your people hated JFK for being Catholic. Where did you get the idea I was a Kennedy family fan? It's awfully funny you like a commie like Oswald, but hate one of the last conservative Democrats.
@AmericanFenian I couldn't give a flying fuck about the "last conservative Democrat" or any other American cunt, you're poking your nose into the UK's affairs, you admitted that you support the terrorism of the so-called real IRA, so in your opinion it's fine for the RIRA to blow up shops & restaurants in the UK in a feeble attempt to create a Roman catholic/gaelic utopia but it's wrong for Muslim fanatics to do the same in your country!?!
I just stated ya supported a commie shooting a US president all because he was Catholic. Whose sectarian now? Where did ya get that I'm a homophobe and a racist? I'm not afraid of homos, I just don't like them. As for being a racist I have friends from all over the world, I met at school. I have Black and Mexican family members who I love very much. So how am I a racist? I will openly admit I HATE PROTESTANTISM, will ya admit ya hate Catholics?
@AmericanFenian No because I don't, I hate Irish national chauvinism because of what it has done to my country (Ulster) And Irish nationalist gangs like RIRA, CIRA, ONH etc. that go round killing cops (like Const.Ronan Kerr, who was a Catholic cop!) I laugh when I hear people lauding JFK because he was a Mick cunt, a misoginist, a nepotist and a Roman Catholic bigot like his father. Btw you're a racist because you hate us British people & a homophobe for using a word like "fag", simple really!!
"my country (Ulster)" ? Ulster isn't a country, it's a providence of Ireland. How can I be racist, because I don't like the british? The british are a mix of Germanic, Celtic, ect. Again, I'm not afraid of homos! I just don't like them.
Catholics who join the PSNI should be shot several times.
@AmericanFenian hahahahahaha a "providence of Ireland" holy fuck, I knew you Irish americans were thick but Ffs that takes the fuckin' biscuit! And your assertion that we British are a "mix" shows just how racist you are! You're trying to imply that the British are somehow a mongrel race. And I suppose the Irish are all 'racially pure' celtic gaels are they?? Pmsl you are an ignorant little cunt!
@oz1641 AmericanFenian was right. Ulster is a province of Ireland, and has been for the whole of Ireland's recorded history. The fact that a bunch of greedy, ignorant imperialist warmongers managed to hold onto it despite being beaten in war does not change that. I love how loyalist scumbags always accuse republicans of bigotry while displaying the utmost bigotry themselves. You people are stupid beyond belief. Britain fucked your ancestors over, too, but you're too stupid to notice.
@12hiddendragons Bullshit!! If you knew anything of the island of Ireland's history you'd know that the provinces, so beloved by you republicans, were administrative units devised and drawn up by the English during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Ulster however, existed long before Elizabethan times and will exist long after we are all dead. And Btw when were we "beaten in war"?? I think maybe you're one of these republicans that shouts loud but has very little to back up the shite being said!!
@oz1641 well, see, there's where you're wrong. I am very familiar with the ancient history and mythology of Ireland, and every old text speaks of Ireland as four provinces with a central province where the high king reigned(when there was one). Those provinces are always called Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, and Munster. Those administrative units you speak of were based on older divisions of the land. And I was referring to the war of Irish independence, when the brits got smoked.
@12hiddendragons "the brits got smoked"! in the War of Independence!!? hahahaha the same war that led to the creation of Northern Ireland?? You must be a Yank hahahahaha
@oz1641 You can deny history all you want, but the fact is that in 800 years the british never gave an inch in regard to Irish independence. They would never have given up ANY part of Ireland without being forced to. That war only led to the creation of Northern Ireland because the british wanted an excuse to keep some small piece of Ireland, and people like you were that excuse, nothing more.
@12hiddendragons Why the fuck did the London government want to hold onto a part of this island!? Ulster could not have been forced into Irish rule without a long and bloody war. The government in London and the republican leadership in Dublin both knew it, that is why Northern Ireland was founded. Btw, it will be Northern Ireland's centenary soon, will you be out celebrating with the rest of us?! hahahaha
@oz1641 Why does any government wish to hold onto conquered land? Greed and arrogance, and perhaps also an unwillingness to admit that their empire is gone (in this case). I know why your shithole colony was founded, but you should remember that the only reason it exists is to give an excuse for the continued oppression and genocide of the Celtic people...and also because the IRA were willing to compromise with you at first. You people have a lot of arrogance for rapacious squatters.
@12hiddendragons The majority of us in the North want to remain part of Britain, and that is why Northern Ireland remains in Union. It has nothing to do with colonialism or "squatters" as you put it. We are British and have been for many hundreds of years; and that is only officially. Genetically the people of Britain and Ireland are exactly the same, there is not one person in Ireland that does not have British heritage in the last 100 years and vice versa.
@xxksaoXX I don't give a damn about genetics. Yes, I have heard this song and dance, and I don't believe a word of it. If you are british, you should go live there. There is no excuse good enough for occupation.
@12hiddendragons Well you clearly do care about genetics, because that would be the only thing giving you the ability to call yourself Irish.
I am Irish, but i am also British (having a mother from Tipperary and a father from Oban). Why should I leave my country just because a minority think that we should join an impoverished ROI?
It is not an occupation, the vast majority of us want them here, the majority of us want to remain part of Britain. It is democratic end of.
@xxksaoXX you say minority, and so do certain polls...but who conducted those polls? And I have always been curious, what would make an Irish person want to call themselves British?
And calling northern Ireland "democratic" would go against known history. It is only fairly recently that Catholics even got equal rights under the law in your province. And As far as statistics, I find it quite telling that most of the known civilian killings were done by Loyalists against nationalists
@12hiddendragons All the polls say that it is a minority who support unification with the south. It has been conducted by British and Irish people, and the results of which are widely respected/believed throughout the world. People like me call ourselves British because we believe in the innate link between our islands. I wish the best for my country. What do people like me and NI gain from joining the ROI?
@xxksaoXX Well, that's funny...cuz I just found all kinds of articles from Irish, british, and american Newspapers that say protestants (i.i. loyalists) have only a thin majority and that is slipping away FAST. Your kind have always claimed to be a majority, and maybe at one time you were, but it looks like your numbers have been declining for quite some time. Just type "catholic majority in Northern Ireland" to see what I mean.
@12hiddendragons The innate link comes from the fact that we are celtic nations, from the fact that we are family. Whether you like it or not, if you are truly Irish you will have British ancestry. Ireland is guilty of oppression and colonialism to pretty much the same extent as Britain. The fact of the matter is, we are culutrally, economically and genetically linked and I doubt that will ever change.
@xxksaoXX First of all, Britain is only partially celtic, and that's mostly by bloodline rather than cultural identity. Secondly, America and Britain are similarly linked. By your logic, I as an american should legally be able to invade and occupy britain. And how the hell has Ireland ever been guilty of oppression and colonialism?
@12hiddendragons I'm afraid you are wrong there, Britain has a significant Celtic heritage, and there a great respect for it throughout Britain. Groups like the IRA are always trying to diminish this celtic identity as a way of attempting to further divide Britain and Ireland. There are numerous statues of Celtic leaders throughout Britain, such Boudica of the Celtic Iceni tribe (lived in Norfolk). A prominent statue outside the British parliament.
@12hiddendragons Anyways the fact is, Britain did not invade Ireland. If you believe that Ireland joined a union with Britain because of an invasion I'm afraid your facts are wrong. The Normans invaded Ireland, and it was simply passed down as a possession of the Norman crown to the English, then British monarchy.
@12hiddendragons Clearly as an American, you do not know Irish history. Scotland never spoke Gaelic until the Irish kingdom of Dál Riata was founded. As that kingdom grew it destroyed and merged the native population with itself. These people were known as the Picts.
Also i suggest you read or watch (theres a film out) called Tristan & Isolde, which outlines the story.
These facts is always overlooked by supporters of Irish Nationalism.
@xxksaoXX what does scotland and when they started speaking gaelic have to do with it? And I have read the story of Tristan and Isolde. Again, what of it?
@12hiddendragons It has everything to do with it! It is plain before your eyes. Some Irish invaded parts of Scotland and created their own kingdom there. Dál Riata was an Irish kingdom in Scotland.
In Tristan and Isolde, you see an Irish King (Donnchadh) raiding and dominating the British Isles effectively subjugating them.
@12hiddendragons Yes there has been an undemocratic past in the North, which i am not happy/proud about. But the ROI has gone through peroids of anti-democracy and has done many things it shouldnt be proud of, that unfortunatly is nationhood. What statistics are you getting that from? From what i have read it is either about even or tipped slightly towards more IRA and IRA affiliated group killings.
@xxksaoXX I get those stats from many sources. Here is one:"Killings in Northern Ireland" by the Belfast Independent Research Group. An excerpt:
"Approximately 80% of Loyalist killings fall into the sectarian category. Given the clandestine nature of Republican military organizations The identities of many of the members are not known to the loyalists. Therefore, they have launched indiscriminate attacks on many occasions against the "catholic" population....
"...probably in an attempt to intimidate and terrorize this community into abandoning its rebellion against british/unionist rule."
Also, everyone knows that for the IRA, killing civilians has been an occasional accident which they have usually taken responsibility for. For loyalist paramilitaries, it is the norm. Loyalist music, when compared with republican music, is also much more inflammatory and sectarian in nature, which doesn't make you all look good.
@12hiddendragons Oh yeah definatly, things like the Omagh bombings and other bombings were entirely by accident. Same with the shootings of men like David Linton, it was entirely an accident when the IRA pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger.
And have you ever heard Irish Rebel music in your life? If you honestly believe that it's less sectarian, you honestly have no understanding of what sectarianism means.
@xxksaoXX I'm not saying I agree with everything the IRA has done. Only that their cause is just, and it is worth mentioning that they have never initiated a military campaign without first preceding it with a peaceful campaign. Inevitably, peaceful methods are met by violent repression, and violent reactions beget more violent reactions. I'm not saying it's right, but I find them far less villainous than their loyalist counterparts.
@12hiddendragons But what makes their cause any more just than the loyalist one? I do not support either, mainly because of the fact that both groups seem to think that their political beliefs legitimises them to blow up and shoot their own countrymen. The IRA are just villainous as groups like the UDA.
If I support anything, I support democracy above all else, and both groups seem to think it's ok to forgoe that.
@xxksaoXX I say this because they have generally concentrated on attacking british armed forces of one kind or another. As for the Omagh bombing, they were trying to attack a courthouse, and phoned in a warning so that everyone would clear out. The bomb went off a good 400 meters from the target and people were not evacuated. The RIRA later apologized. Sounds like an accident to me. Also, Kevin Fulton, A British agent, confessed to being involved in multiple "IRA" bombings.
@12hiddendragons But the fact is they haven't they happily went around killing civilians on the grounds of political beliefs. You have a warped biased in favour of the IRA, which unfortunatly many outsiders who claim irish heritage have. I live and grew in the North and believe me, both the IRA and UDA are murderers.
@xxksaoXX not true, I already said I don't agree with their methods. I just think it says something, the fact that they mostly killed british armed forces of one kind or another, while the loyalist paramilitaries have always concentrated on the ruthless terrorization and slaughter of civilians.
@xxksaoXX No, you are wrong on that. I have read those statistics and they say the opposite. And when they kneecap people, its because they were thieving or dealing drugs, and had already been warned.
@12hiddendragons I'm afraid you don't make a bomb, put it in a car in a city, set it off and then apologise for civilian deaths. The bomb was quite a distance from the court being over 400 metres from it. I've been there it's mainly used for shopping.
Your comment about Kevin Fulton, only proves my point, the IRA bombed many people.
@xxksaoXX what I'm saying here is that something clearly went wrong, and what you are saying here supports that. I'm not making excuses for them but it is a fact that they have seldom actually targeted civilians.
@xxksaoXX you mention David Linton, one civilian who was shot dead, but I might mention a half-million examples of loyalist paramilitaries attacking/killing civilians. Such as the burntollet ambush, The UPV bombings of power stations and water lines, the murder of an old catholic woman, Francis Mccloskey, the burnings of hundreds of homes in august 1969, the killing of an RUC officer in October 1969, the attempt at an armed invasion of nationalist areas (which failed) on June 27,1970,
@xxksaoXX then there was the killing of an Irish band on July 31, 1975, the killing of seven civilians on October 2, 1975, and let's not forget the Shankill butchers, who were known for kidnapping, torturing, and throat slashing of random catholic civilians.
man, this shit goes on for pages and pages. I'm only up to 1975 here, do you really want me to keep going? By contrast, I see only occasional killings of civilians by the IRA, and most by accident.
@xxksaoXX And by the way, I call myself Irish not just because of genetics (both sides of my family, BTW), but because I was raised to appreciate the culture of my ancestors. I probably know Irish literature better than you do. My Irish ancestors only came to this country fairly recently, and quite frankly, as an "irishman" who swears to the crown, you have NO place to criticize the legitimacy of anyone's "irish" status.
@12hiddendragons What and your saying that people of Irish decent in Britain or who wish to remain part of Britain are not appreciating the culture of their ancestors?
I have not sworn alliegance to anything, unionism does not mean i'm a monarchist.
But even if i had, why would that diminish the legitimacy of my status as Irish? I love the culture of both sides of my family and respect them both greatly, my political beliefs should have no baring on my 'status'.
@xxksaoXX no, people in britain are another subject. I am saying that, given the history of Ireland, it is a strange thing for anyone of Irish (or scottish) descent to have loyalty towards the british crown, which you have whether you bent a knee and swore or not.
@12hiddendragons Who are you dictate what is strange. In my opinion, given the treatment of Native indians in the USA it is strange they feel loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. They were treated just as badly, if not worse by the American government.
Just to clarify my own political beliefs and person: I am a catholic, I am a unionist, I am Socialist, I am British Republican but i am also a secularist.
@oz1641 and yes, I will celebrate by dancing around a burning effigy of Billy Wright as I piss on the union jack. And hey, you never answered me...how does it make you feel to know that the british will imprison your kind just as fast as any IRA member, and won't even protect you in jail?
Sounds like a rather one-sided love affair to me.
fuck all you english we the scots love ireland. they just doing what we did to the english. you's english will be our fucking benson and ireland benson too. your no match for ireland or scotland get that right. come if you think your hard enough because no one will get our fucking country scums
@celticfc11000 You micks all make the same basic error. You equate a love of Ireland with a devotion to the IRA, socialism and popery. If we could rid Ireland of these three cursed belief systems, then Erin would be Paradise on earth.
to ulster prod-explain your culture then? cos as far as i,m concerned its a 'culture' based round the pathological hatred of catholicism and anything remotely irish...oh i nearly forgot to mention the rangers tops, tacky gold and the tattoos!
@celticfc11000 You are the one who mentioned "culture", not I. In fact, I noted only pride in the history and achievements of my people. As an Irish Protestant, I love the literature and traditional music of Ireland; it is popery and socialism that I despise. You see, I am not one of the "Ulster-Scots" descended from the 17th century plantation. My ancestry is pure Irish from Cavan traced back more than 600 years. Thank God, one branch of my family embraced the Reformed Faith 200 years ago.
We have loads of Scotch-Irish in the US. They wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so inbred, largely uneducated, and protestant. So don't start on about how great the Scotch-Irish are, because I've traveled much of the South in the states and it's depressing when you see such a sorry bunch.
@AmericanFenian So you're clearly stating your sectarian mind set by saying that there's something wrong with being Protestant. And you're clearly a racist if you're listening to ethnocentric "gaelic" songs like this one. We Ulster-Scots have contributed 14 United States presidents, how many have you 'irish-americans' contributed?? You'll hardly count Obama since he obviously doesn't suit your ideal of being a 'Gaelic-Aryan-Celt' Lol. Stay out of Ulster you ignorant fool......
Actually on the last census Obama only checked Black. So therefor he doesn't recognize his own Irish heritage. Obama refuses to recognize both sides of his family. He only chooses to recognize his African side. His African father ran out on him as a child and his white grandparents raised him. Later on in life he called his grandmother racist. The women who raised him while his mother was off God knows where. My niece who is biracial considers herself biracial not one or the other.
Great song. Wolfhound are up there with the best of the best Irish Rebel groups. I actually feel sorry for people like Ulsterprod and his fellow bigots. They're a fearful race struggling to find an identity in the face of ever ascending Irish Republicanism. Won't be long now 'til a United Ireland. The tide can't be stemmed just ike the song says.
@irishsongsandlyrics Spare me your pity; I do not need it. The Ulster Protestants are not struggling to find identity. We are proud of our history and achievements. All the machinations, subterfuge and mendacity of the republicans will never force us to give up our six counties.
reading a few of ulster prods comments i get the impression he thinks he has brains to burn, but on closer inspection,you can see he's no more than a narrow-minded bigot; or should that be pseudo intellectual racist!?
@celticfc11000 Here we go again with the hackneyed, time-worn accusations of "bigotry" and "racism". Honestly, can't you lot think of another song to sing? Anyhow, I do not think i have "brains to burn" as you so eloquently state; however, I am quite capable of dealing on an intellectual level with anything you or your bog-trodding Fenian fellow-travelers wish to throw at me.
what exactly is ulster prods' culture based on anyway? Me personally, I think it,s based on the pathological hatred of anything remotely Catholic or Irish.
ulster prod dos'nt have a culture, hence the reason he's listening to the excellent Ray Mc singing songs of resistance. Away out would ye and get yerself a life, ya fucking oul ejitt ye!
@celticfc11000 Actually, I sometimes check out republican sites for amusement. Sure and begorrah, we all need a laugh now and then and there is nothing funnier and more pathetic than you lot!
@amimillie You say that because you believe they are easier to manipulate and control, but be careful. Look what happened in the USA. Oh well, maybe you can invite President Obongo to Ireland. He would probably feel quite at home and you could create him an "Honorary Fenian".
What a laugh! Gaelic and free? Have you been to Dublin lately? It is overrun with niggers, pakis and arabs. Before you lot realize what is happening, O'Connell St. will be renamed Nelson Mandela Way and St. Stephen's Green will be called Ayatollah Khomenei Park. And of course, you'll be free as long as you obey your orders from the EU. Dream on lads! You are living in a fool's paradise, despite your silly songs.
@lreland1 A pathetic response. While fenians are not generally renowned for their intelligence, surely you could have come up with something better than that. Why not try to refute my statements rather than resort to name-calling? Is that too difficult for you? Now, I daresay we shall have the old standby words: discrimination, oppression, bigotry etc. You have no credibility among the intelligentsia. Don't forget to sing "Kevin Barry" the next time you go crawling to the EU for money! UP UVF!!!
@ulsterprod1 Are you a fucking idiot? Since when has an Irish song or republican song been about ridding the country of multiculturalism?? In fact theres not even a song about ridding the country of protestantism all it ever preaches is to let Ireland be an Independent state in the E.U continent and order. We want to be free from british rule within our own country we never once asked to become a superpower You are just a typical unionist biggoted bastard fuck off to england
@usernameunabl When I first read your comment, I assumed you were just another ignorant illiterate IRA supporter but having looked at your channel, I realize that is not the case. Still, whatever your background, you are obviously deficient in grammar as well as spelling. Do none of you people ever go to school? At one point, I considered trying to engage you in a battle of wits but that would go against my principles. You see, I refuse to fight with an unarmed man.
ive a version of this song on a tape "Ireland gaelic and free" from 1974. It's a number of songs from bloody sunday done in support of the families i think. Can annyone put that tape up on youtube?
Totally agree, Cluzio. Great band and this song is what Irish REpublicanism was always supposed to be about. It's a shame too many now have gone and joined Britain.
@alikira Sarsfields, Fri 23rd, Lenadoon cultural society hosting a talk about the 1916 uprising with session music to follow, might even hear this song, although no one could emulate Ray and Danny,
could you tell me where i would get a copy of the snipers promise nobody and i mean nobody could sing it like the wolfhound loved them they where great im sure your proud of ur father

Actually some of the people who hated Kennedy the most where those who came from "Ulster-Scot" (Scottish squatter) stock. Mostly because he was Catholic. I have family who are Scotch-Irish and German protestants. They didn't like my father, because he was Catholic. That didn't stop them from asking for his help. My parents were very accepting, but I wasn't stupid and could see the hypocrisy even in America to this day. The US was built on the backs of Catholic immigrants.

@oz1641 AmericanFenian was right. Ulster is a province of Ireland, and has been for the whole of Ireland's recorded history. The fact that a bunch of greedy, ignorant imperialist warmongers managed to hold onto it despite being beaten in war does not change that. I love how loyalist scumbags always accuse republicans of bigotry while displaying the utmost bigotry themselves. You people are stupid beyond belief. Britain fucked your ancestors over, too, but you're too stupid to notice.
12hiddendragons 2 months ago
@12hiddendragons Bullshit!! If you knew anything of the island of Ireland's history you'd know that the provinces, so beloved by you republicans, were administrative units devised and drawn up by the English during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Ulster however, existed long before Elizabethan times and will exist long after we are all dead. And Btw when were we "beaten in war"?? I think maybe you're one of these republicans that shouts loud but has very little to back up the shite being said!!
oz1641 2 months ago
@oz1641 well, see, there's where you're wrong. I am very familiar with the ancient history and mythology of Ireland, and every old text speaks of Ireland as four provinces with a central province where the high king reigned(when there was one). Those provinces are always called Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, and Munster. Those administrative units you speak of were based on older divisions of the land. And I was referring to the war of Irish independence, when the brits got smoked.

@oz1641 You can deny history all you want, but the fact is that in 800 years the british never gave an inch in regard to Irish independence. They would never have given up ANY part of Ireland without being forced to. That war only led to the creation of Northern Ireland because the british wanted an excuse to keep some small piece of Ireland, and people like you were that excuse, nothing more.

@12hiddendragons Why the fuck did the London government want to hold onto a part of this island!? Ulster could not have been forced into Irish rule without a long and bloody war.

Btw, it will be Northern Ireland's centenary soon, will you be out celebrating with the rest of us?! hahahaha

@oz1641 Why does any government wish to hold onto conquered land? Greed and arrogance, and perhaps also an unwillingness to admit that their empire is gone (in this case). I know why your shithole colony was founded, but you should remember that the only reason it exists is to give an excuse for the continued oppression and genocide of the Celtic people...and also because the IRA were willing to compromise with you at first. You people have a lot of arrogance for rapacious squatters.

@12hiddendragons The majority of us in the North want to remain part of Britain, and that is why Northern Ireland remains in Union. It has nothing to do with colonialism or "squatters" as you put it. We are British and have been for many hundreds of years; and that is only officially. Genetically the people of Britain and Ireland are exactly the same, there is not one person in Ireland that does not have British heritage in the last 100 years and vice versa.

And calling northern Ireland "democratic" would go against known history. It is only fairly recently that Catholics even got equal rights under the law in your province. And As far as statistics, I find it quite telling that most of the known civilian killings were done by Loyalists against nationalists

@12hiddendragons The innate link comes from the fact that we are celtic nations, from the fact that we are family. Whether you like it or not, if you are truly Irish you will have British ancestry. Ireland is guilty of oppression and colonialism to pretty much the same extent as Britain. The fact of the matter is, we are culutrally, economically and genetically linked and I doubt that will ever change.

@xxksaoXX First of all, Britain is only partially celtic, and that's mostly by bloodline rather than cultural identity. Secondly, America and Britain are similarly linked.

12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons I'm afraid you are wrong there, Britain has a significant Celtic heritage, and there a great respect for it throughout Britain. Groups like the IRA are always trying to diminish this celtic identity as a way of attempting to further divide Britain and Ireland. There are numerous statues of Celtic leaders throughout Britain, such Boudica of the Celtic Iceni tribe (lived in Norfolk). A prominent statue outside the British parliament.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons Anyways the fact is, Britain did not invade Ireland. If you believe that Ireland joined a union with Britain because of an invasion I'm afraid your facts are wrong. The Normans invaded Ireland, and it was simply passed down as a possession of the Norman crown to the English, then British monarchy.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons Clearly as an American, you do not know Irish history. Scotland never spoke Gaelic until the Irish kingdom of Dál Riata was founded. As that kingdom grew it destroyed and merged the native population with itself. These people were known as the Picts.
Also i suggest you read or watch (theres a film out) called Tristan & Isolde, which outlines the story.
These facts is always overlooked by supporters of Irish Nationalism.

@12hiddendragons It has everything to do with it! It is plain before your eyes. Some Irish invaded parts of Scotland and created their own kingdom there. Dál Riata was an Irish kingdom in Scotland.
In Tristan and Isolde, you see an Irish King (Donnchadh) raiding and dominating the British Isles effectively subjugating them.

@12hiddendragons Yes there has been an undemocratic past in the North, which i am not happy/proud about. But the ROI has gone through peroids of anti-democracy and has done many things it shouldnt be proud of, that unfortunatly is nationhood. What statistics are you getting that from? From what i have read it is either about even or tipped slightly towards more IRA and IRA affiliated group killings.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX I get those stats from many sources. Here is one:"Killings in Northern Ireland" by the Belfast Independent Research Group. An excerpt:
"Approximately 80% of Loyalist killings fall into the sectarian category. Given the clandestine nature of Republican military organizations The identities of many of the members are not known to the loyalists. Therefore, they have launched indiscriminate attacks on many occasions against the "catholic" population....
12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX To Continue:
"...probably in an attempt to intimidate and terrorize this community into abandoning its rebellion against british/unionist rule."
Also, everyone knows that for the IRA, killing civilians has been an occasional accident which they have usually taken responsibility for. For loyalist paramilitaries, it is the norm. Loyalist music, when compared with republican music, is also much more inflammatory and sectarian in nature, which doesn't make you all look good.
12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons Oh yeah definatly, things like the Omagh bombings and other bombings were entirely by accident. Same with the shootings of men like David Linton, it was entirely an accident when the IRA pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger.
And have you ever heard Irish Rebel music in your life? If you honestly believe that it's less sectarian, you honestly have no understanding of what sectarianism means.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX I'm not saying I agree with everything the IRA has done. Only that their cause is just, and it is worth mentioning that they have never initiated a military campaign without first preceding it with a peaceful campaign. Inevitably, peaceful methods are met by violent repression, and violent reactions beget more violent reactions. I'm not saying it's right, but I find them far less villainous than their loyalist counterparts.
12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons But what makes their cause any more just than the loyalist one? I do not support either, mainly because of the fact that both groups seem to think that their political beliefs legitimises them to blow up and shoot their own countrymen. The IRA are just villainous as groups like the UDA.
If I support anything, I support democracy above all else, and both groups seem to think it's ok to forgoe that.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX I say this because they have generally concentrated on attacking british armed forces of one kind or another. As for the Omagh bombing, they were trying to attack a courthouse, and phoned in a warning so that everyone would clear out. The bomb went off a good 400 meters from the target and people were not evacuated. The RIRA later apologized. Sounds like an accident to me. Also, Kevin Fulton, A British agent, confessed to being involved in multiple "IRA" bombings.
12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons But the fact is they haven't they happily went around killing civilians on the grounds of political beliefs. You have a warped biased in favour of the IRA, which unfortunatly many outsiders who claim irish heritage have. I live and grew in the North and believe me, both the IRA and UDA are murderers.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX not true, I already said I don't agree with their methods. I just think it says something, the fact that they mostly killed british armed forces of one kind or another, while the loyalist paramilitaries have always concentrated on the ruthless terrorization and slaughter of civilians.
12hiddendragons 1 month ago
@12hiddendragons Every statistic says the IRA killed a similar number of civilians to the Loyalists. Also look at the statistics of IRA kneecapping.
The reason why loyalist paramilitaries didn't kill irish military is because there are no Irish soldiers in the North.
They did however always try and attack IRA members. But it is impossible to know how many of those were members of republican paramilitaries.
xxksaoXX 1 month ago
@xxksaoXX No, you are wrong on that. I have read those statistics and they say the opposite. And when they kneecap people, its because they were thieving or dealing drugs, and had already been warned.

@xxksaoXX And by the way, I call myself Irish not just because of genetics (both sides of my family, BTW), but because I was raised to appreciate the culture of my ancestors.

If ever asked to explain the conflict between Ireland and England, I would simply refer them to this song. Basically says it all

ive a version of this song on a tape "Ireland gaelic and free" from 1974. It's a number of songs from bloody sunday done in support of the families i think. Can annyone put that tape up on youtube?

This is a song I kept hearing in a Republican bar I frequent, but wasn't sure of the name so thanks for this.

The scummy IRA used Bloody Sunday as an excuse to murder thousands of innocent people themselves. Give me Gandhi and Martin Luther King any day.
Ireland REJECTED the IRA and all the IRA wannabes
I'm only saying what every decent irish person thinks and shows through their votes.

A fantastic underrated song from the the best ballad band to have ever come from Ireland..
Cluzio 3 years ago
Totally agree, Cluzio. Great band and this song is what Irish REpublicanism was always supposed to be about. It's a shame too many now have gone and joined Britain.

@alikira Sarsfields, Fri 23rd, Lenadoon cultural society hosting a talk about the 1916 uprising with session music to follow, might even hear this song, although no one could emulate Ray and Danny,
