It's interesting to read back some comments on here; especially in light of knowing that some posers are not from England or Ireland. I wonder-and I'm not trying to e pugnacious or start an argument here-but I wonder if these same voices would be equally vocal at calls to give America back to the Indians? or Australia to the Aborigines? Isreal to the Palastinians? etc etc etc. There's nothing distinct here in the UK situation

Early 70s----McCartney at his Prime----Is There More Footage Of This Period?

[destructivedandy]

@talissin The Danes, Normans, French, Romans may not entirely agree there

@bohemian187 I'm aware of the correct term I just wanted to use the simplistic language to make a point to people quick to simplify a complex topic. We're roughly singing from the same hymn sheet anyway, it's still a case of injustice to previous native countrymen under a colonial rule. The point I'm trying to make is it's the same story the world over and there are some posters here, specifically American who won't see that similarity and jump into the 'debate'

[bohemian187]

@destructivedandy There is a big diference, the English, Spanish, French, and Americans already killed most Natives..and you should use the word native, because Indians are in India, not America, and Aborigines means "without origin" which I can assure you is not the case. And I would add.. Give Malvinas back to the Argentinians.

I want to talk about your rare clip, but I don´t want to speak English: Yo he OCUPADO tu clip para mi blog. Many Thanks!!!

[talissin]

@destructivedandy Yeah, it's clear, since British were born in Eireland.

@beatlesandbeyond no, but consider that the English are an amalgam of Celts, Anglians, Saxons, Norsemen (both the Danish and the Normandy brand) to name but a few. I suggest giving England to those that care to live there in spite of the bad weather and the horrific cooking habits. Great country though, but one that achieved its greatness - also in music - exactly BECAUSE it was an amalgam of cultures and peoples

@byrnenick73 I'm well aware of the formation of Ulster and of course that's your opinion, but there's no way I could bless people who murder innocent men women and children. No way at all, and that stands for both .freedom fighters. and recognised milita of any country.

[destructivedandy]

@byrnenick73 Again, nothing distinct. As you yourself have just admitted quoting other freedom figting/terrorist/guerilla organisations. The point I'm making is there are many countries that have citizens within who consider their country to be unjustly ruled and yet from an outsider perspective they don't get the support or approval that some US posters say give the Irish/UK situation. As I say would the average American get behind a song saying give the US back to the indians? Of course not.
