Re: The IRA Lost the War
Too daft for sarcasm it seems. In truth, the war was neither a win or a loss. Truly both sides suffered incredible losses, and both attained some level of success. The North remains with the Queen, true. But now their governance includes people that were once imprisoned for terrorism charges, not to mention the sectarian equality that was a result of the fighting. You can't really say they were "owned" at that point. |

Re: The IRA Lost the War
It most certainly is.  It can have it's independence when it likes, don't blame England because it's reliant on us. |

Re: The IRA Lost the War
This is true of the Scots and the Irish. But it is also true that it is Human Nature all over the world. We'll only let things be until they are as good as we can stand it. Then, something within us, just 'has' to tear everything down. |

Re: The IRA Lost the War
What's to win? The British caused all this when Henry VIII demanded the Irish renounce their Catholic Faith after the pope, as he should have, refused to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine, so that evil degenerate could marry Anne Boleyn. He then, out of thin air, created the Church of England. The Irish paid a horrible price for this & were savagely massacred as well as subjected to centuries of oppression, including slavery. The Brits, for all their precious empire, never subjugated the tiny island nation in their own backyard. Henry died a bloated, syphilitic coward. I imagine in whatever hot corner of Hell he now inhabits he probably regrets everything, but it's too late now. The IRA didn't kill a tiny fraction of what the English did in their "enlightened" despotism. My grandparents were gun runners & involved in ambushes of British para military personnel in the old IRA, which I am very proud of
