you are correct in all you say. but...... my mammy who did her schooling in a convent school in Dublin during the thirties was repeatidly told that the I rish Civil War did not happen, strange as she remembers it happening. all i saying is, lets get history correct by the people who were there, and yes, the black and tans were bastards yes they b loody were.

if anyone wonders why the Irish fucking hate the British and it's Army you just have to watch this movie to see how they treated the Irish and considered them less than vermin. The movie is a fair portrayal of the brutality thrust upon the emerald isles

Less than 50 years ago you'd even see signs in Britain in bed & breakfasts that would say "no blacks, no irish"

It's easy to understand why some groups still will never surrender Éire go deo, Fé Mhóid Bheith Saor

Fantastic film. Gets really interesting once they get rid of the British and start fighting amongst themselves.
