@bobslay12 you're just a common terrorist then. We've already seen tons of those. You're just picking on Ireland and Scotland just coz u have no specific ethnic identity or heritage of your own - which leaves you with angst and hate at other people's heritage. If you were a true Newcastlian, you'd be genetically identical to an picto-celtic Irishman, and you'd be missing all the southern scando-german-norman genes. So, who da paddy? Dasrite! You da paddy!! One of Us hehe! Dyou hate dat, boy?

@bobslay12 Then I would happily have stood opposit and shot you, I don't wish death upon you BTW that was just what I would have done back then.

@emmetor

Well if there Irish then theres nothing wrong with killing them.

@MrXray2011

Shut up cunt! I would have fought for Cromwell back then!

@bollockchops55 Cromwell was and still is a cunt. He commited the one crime that was a big no no even in the 1600's. No Charles 1st was not the best king but to kill a God's annointed King is slightly extreme. To force an abdication is one thing to take his fucking head is another. As I have said before may he rot for eternity in Hell. BTW I am a royalist but I do like parliament too so what he done sort of helped create our democratic system that we have today but still to kill a King? :)
