A blot on English history. If the Irish had done to us what we did to you, I too would have fought. Sorry for what our governments did to you.

Of course, De Valera and the IRA use the same tactics when they later crushed the supporters of the semi--socialist Irish Citizens Army so it really doesn't matter weather it's English or Irish. The tactics of power remain the same.

The "Black and Tans" ( actually the Special Auxiliary , Royal Irish Police) were the first step towards the Gestapo, the Green Berets and Blackwater LLC. Fighting the war real soldiers couldn't or wouldn't fight. The war against popular ideas contrary to the ruling powers interests.

Why didnt do anything until they killed incocent people.
I had 2 lp records of the wolfhound, 'Freedom's sons' and 'Ireland boys hurrah' I loaned out the 2nd one and never got it back, I think someone stole it at a party. Bought them in Dundalk in 1979 while following Celtic on European cup duty. We went with the John F Kennedy CSC from Perth and the craic was mighty! have tried for years to get CD's, but nothing doin.
