@iradan64 i think the USS Missouri would struggle to destroy that edifice,let alone a couple volunteers with a small bag of semtex.To be honest i wish i hadnt wasted my time writing these messages,time is too valuable to spend writing about such a pointless topic.
-
@bazzatheblue and the IRA of that time is gone. it is no longer going to send a mesage to blow it up. never mind the numerous pieces of legislation preserving it as 'historic sight'
-
@iradan64 its still there though.
-
@bazzatheblue not really seeing as there were several attempts made to bomb the wellington monument as well as numerous attacks of vandalism on it.
-
@iradan64sorry to message again but i forgot ,Wellington,not imperialist?Or just acceptable as he was Irish born?That blows your argument away i think.
-
@bazzatheblue they could have just took off Nelson and put up ,i don`t know,de valera or someone instead ,the column itself would look a sight better than that fucking spike there now,surely you must agree?
-
@iradan64 poor old nelson,the statue could have been sold if the irish didnt like it,someone in the commonwealth would have bought it as Horatio is a hero to we english speaking types,damned disrespectful i call it.I would like to kick a statue of some irish person,but i cant find one ,do it out spite ,like. .
-
@bazzatheblue it wasnt about race, it was a symbol of imperialism. something the IRA stood firmly against. UP WENT NELSON! boom!

@CrawdaddyJoe "Popular move"? So "popular" that no one ever came forward and said, "I did it with ____, ____, and ____." Because they would have been criminally prosecuted and feared conviction. Which, were it truly "popular," no jury would have voted for.

@CrawdaddyJoe So "popular that, when one individual came forward to claim responsibility in the year 2000 (34 years after the fact) he was brought to a police station and invited to repeat his claim that he was one of the individuals responsible for the bombing. Declining to repeat his claim to the police, he was released. Bottom line is that decades after the incident, it is still deemed a crime under Irish law, despite undocumentable claims of how popular it may have been among, "the people."
Im sorry but I think this is funny as hell, did they really blow up the statue? HAHAHA good riddance I say
