The latest noxious brain-fart from the Daily Mail wannabe in today’s Irish Independent newspaper:
“Despite RTÉ’s incessant efforts to make the rest of us care about the North, most people have far more interesting things on their minds. Grass growing. Paint drying. Studying theology. That sort of thing.
Frankly, most of us look at this Balkanised kip, with its demagogues and halfwits and think a pox on all their houses.
…and, likewise, last weekend’s march through Tyrone to commemorate the IRA dead.
I don’t mean the thousands killed by the IRA, but members of the IRA who were killed on ‘duty’.
Frankly, the only shame is that the Brits didn’t kill more of them.”
Irish journalist decries that not enough Irish citizens were killed by a foreign military force in Ireland during the course of a thirty year conflict.
You couldn’t make it up, could you?

AGOA! Yes, I had noticed that. I’m surprised by the nominations all the same, I didn’t think I would be the “right sort” but there you go. As they say, it’s nice just to be nominated 🙂

why do people try to associate the catholic church with republicanism? I don’t believe it’s just sectarianism , I think it’s to make us more british in our thinking despite the church supporting imperial rule till 1922

Agreed, the RCC was opposed to Irish Republicanism at an official level throughout its history.

Imagine if a British paper said ” Just a shame the IRA did not kill more of the unionists” There would be an uproar. We have some really great thinkers and people in our country but we also have some real Neanderthals.
