scothunter 12,609 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thing is wilf planting a bomb is easy . Lay it and walk away with no regard to consequences. Just like the one yesterday trying to kill a copper. having said that the mount batten bomb was remote controlled so he watched the kids getting on that boat and the young irishmans son who wanted to go sailing with them. Now that was one twisted f**k who detonated that! Also mountbatten was all for giving them a united ireland. Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Question that I have never seen asked, if the British army had done as the republicans wanted and just f****d off what would have happened to all the protestants who had wanted to stay part of the union and supported the British? Hard to say as we never have to witness it, but maybe a total bloodbath turning it into a 3rd world country? We can tune into the satellite and see several theatres where religious divisions take offense at each other. They're not exactly tourist destinations... I'm sure most can agree that they're glad it didn't get to that stage, although some will argue that it was close. i wouldn't want to stay in any country with that much hatred there, what chance have the kids got living in a place like that , with whats put in front of them dont think we should have gone in there , let them self run it , just let the police keep law/order there Spot on Bird. That comment is as applicable to Ireland as it is to any current war zone. Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,638 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 i wouldn't want to stay in any country with that much hatred there, what chance have the kids got living in a place like that , with whats put in front of them dont think we should have gone in there , let them self run it , just let the police keep law/order there Spot on Bird. That comment is as applicable to Ireland as it is to any current war zone. Now I don't want to upset anyone so I'll try to be sensitive. Do you really think that can be applied to this situation? The way I see it this same problem is seen all over the world where historically a colony was established and never successfully repelled by the natives of the day leading to the progeny on both sides many many generations later having a social and often ethnic divide. Pretty much the story behind the birth of every country. I think it's reasonable to say that today simply colonising already colonised land isn't cricket and is generally considered unethical and therefore illegal. So I'm not saying what happened back then was right, at least based on my knowledge of history. However pragmatically we are where we are. 400 years later and the Irish progeny of the protestant colonists are born into what they quite rightly consider their own country. Same as I am the progeny of a couple of different colonists that took over my country from the Welsh and later the Angles, LOL. Why should the Unionists have an obligation to leave Ulster any more than I have the obligation to leave England, the yanks leave the US or the Ozzies leave Oz? It all gets a bit messy and all over a 400 year old land grab. Obviously the modern conflict isn't simply over what happened 400 years ago, there's been plenty of petrol thrown on that fire to keep it burning. Today we have to deal with what happened in the years of colonialism the best we can. Righting wrongs by committing more wrongs surely ain't the answer? Self determination is the only way forward and if N.I chooses to unify with the Republic then that has to be respected I think and vise versa. Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 With all this discussion on the North around the death of Martin McGuinness there could be a lot more trouble about the 3 British soldiers who died up there today when their Land Rover crashed into a tree. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Francie 6,362 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) It was the british gov who fuelled the divide, to keep irelanfmd as theres, so they used the protestants to keep catholics downtrodden, brainwashed by divide, protestants are reformed catholics ffs, theres not that much difference at all. The reformation proves this, its really stupid, but as usual the brit gov capatalised on this, an here we are ytoday. Ive protestant family members, iv no problem at all with them, its the brits army occupying ireland, thats my problem. If the prods just realise the brit gov used an abused them, to keep ireland under siege, therefore under control. Its time to let go of the past, ireland reunited shall prosper, catholic protestant, whatever, the bitter loyalists might start violence , but the new irish police force will sort that how ironic will that be.
