[oliver69cork]

Must say fairplay to good old charlie,he even robbed the fools who voted for him and they were so stupid they even defended him!!!Acted in the good of the irish people,for gods sake what a load of .....?

@gespb32 I dont recognise any sort of 26 county 'republic of Ireland', you on the other hand...

[gespb32]

@RonainMacCathain Stats? dont get to clever boy, ever have your house smashed up by state-sponsored militia? ever see your relations kicked half to death by Loyalists? you have no idea what your talking about.

I have lived in the Republic of Ireland which stopped being a "free state" back in the forties, where do you live, grow up kid.

[RonainMacCathain]

@gespb32 What stats can you provide that the six counties has a higher percentage of youth concerned with Ireland. Every time ive been in the six counties everyone wears english soccer jerseys even the english national team shirts. Haughey was as bad as the Brits but you dont care he screwed the people because he was an Irishman. I do live in a hostile statelet, the free state. Ever tried it?

[gespb32]

Contin..Than the rest of the of the youth of the Island, you cannot deny that, that incidently is not being "partitionist", it is a reality. you really have no idea what it is like living in a hostile statelet within your own country which wants you out.

Try living on the ground, reality is far more horrific than Connolly's noble sentiments.

[gespb32]

@RonainMacCathain Would I hoist the Green Flag? yes & have done, he was not perfect but he stood up & defended us when the rest of them did not want to know, I never said obesity stopped at the divide so you cant accuse me of that, however, let us agree it is a problem with Irish youth of to-day who have no interest in their heritage, history & culture & are only concerned with premiership "football", however Irish people in the six counties are far more concerned for Ireland.

[RonainMacCathain]

@gespb32 So people who are over weight, like X Factor and English football stops at the border with the six counties..lol. You suffer from Partitionism. I do know what the term means. It means he was corrupt as fuck. He is exactly what James Connolly described when he talked about ''dirt eating capitalist traitors''. You would hoist the Green Flag and gladly have criminal scum like Haughey ruling us just because he is Irish and not British.

[gespb32]

@RonainMacCathain A "Gombeen" man, Boy, do you even know what the term means? do you know about that man's intellect in University? how he was estemeed by his peers?

Gaddafi? do you know how he got in contact with our people? as I said boy, grow up & learn our history.

Or do something useful & serve our race, from what I have seen, the 26 counties has become full of overweight people who are not interested in anything except X factor or English football.

Pathetic.

[RonainMacCathain]

@gespb32 Haughey was a gombeen man. A corrupt piece of filth, not even you can deny that he was as corrupt as they come. Gaddafi gave more arms than Haughey. I dont watch x factor or soccer.

[gespb32]

@RonainMacCathain As I said he already helped by getting funds & arms to us, had he sent the Army over the border the Brits would have over-run the entire Island eventually with the help of their NATO allies, it was a dangerous game of political brinkmanship but he played it well.

The drival that cocky little children who have no idea what they are talking about here is stomach-turning. Kids in the Republic should stop watching x factor & soccer & look at their history books.

[RonainMacCathain]

@gespb32 Why did he have to play the partitionist role? he could have ordered the 26 county army over the border to help but never bothered his hole. Too busy getting rich off the backs of the people.
