If only the politicians had the balls to back the military and security services more, we would be a lot safer ! Cheers. A lad I used to play football with was Anti Terrorist Squad, stress was unbelievable and they were at it all the time. He said they often only get their information last minute and have to react very quickly to lots of stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 That small field across from my gate has bodies in it from the famine, not because the lack of food, because it was take off them. Back behind the village, the British brought in protestant missionaries, the bulit a church, and a soup kitchen. If the people converted they would be fed. So much for Christian love and teachings LOL, my way or die LOL Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Souperism was a phenomenon of the Irish Great Famine. Protestant Bible societies set up schools in which starving children were fed, on the condition of receiving Protestant religious instruction at the same time. Its practitioners were reviled by the Catholic families who had to choose between Protestantism and starvation.[1][2] People who converted for food were known as "soupers", "jumpers", and "cat breacs".[3] In the words of their peers, they "took the soup".[4][5] Although souperism was a rare phenomenon, it had a lasting effect on the popular memory of the Famine. It blemished the relief work by Protestants who gave aid without proselytising, and the rumour of souperism may have discouraged starving Catholics from attending soup kitchens for fear of betraying their faith.[6][7] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Muslims are told in the Koran that it's OK to deny their faith to avoid death or punishment, as lying to an "unbeliever" isn't really lying , and they wouldn't be abandoning their faith.

I get it now.. Hopefully tomorrow will bring nothing or for a good while again, I know it's pointless saying never again, because we all know is going to happen at some stage.

Lager parts of the country had these missionaries and their soup kitchens. Unbelievable what was done then, imagine the things that happened, but was never recorded. The like of the mud crawlers. When the coal ships came from Wales to cork with their coal shipments, they'd take starving irish back to Wales. The British and Welsh got fed up of this, so made it law, no more ferrying passengers. But the captains still took them on board, sail into Wales on low water, up the estuaries and tell the people to jump over and crawl across the mud flats to dry land. Many didn't make it Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The money saved would do wonders for the health system, or education system.
