KARMA FOR THATCHER!!!

I hope that old * tory basterd dies with her fist up her own *

 

Good post.

It is much easier to discredit your opponent when you are in power. In fact when you are in power you can do things which are worse than your opponent and still portray them as 'evil terrorists'.

 

Without the efforts of the IRA over the past century it would have never got to the stage its at now where the Brits are forced to consider an alternative solution like "power sharing" in the north.

 

you have to realise that you think of the IRA of the resistance but the british would not have bring force them unless they rebelled which they did, NI could have been a peaceful nation from the start and the troubles could have been avoided and so many innocent people murdered. post troubles peace but at what price?

 

Terrible post.

Our you saying we, as an Irish nation, should be ashamed of ourselves for resisting an aggressive foreign oppressor?

* *...

 

no i support the IRB that opposed british occupation up until the war of independence which was soldiers on soldiers in combat not soldiers on civilians which alot of the troubles were, 1,800 civilians were killed, more than any the armies, at formation of NI, it was seen that protestants were a majority in NI, many families called it home as there are.

 

If more occupied countries put up resistance like the Irish have the imperialists might think twice before invading yet another country, which would result in far less civilian deaths in the long term.

 

Cant add anything more to this post !
Well said that man ! Right on the money !

 

the resistance did things wrong and did things right, for example, the hungers strikers showed the world that people were willing to starve themselves for their civil rights while the brits did nothing showed and showed the world just how ugly the thatcher administration was and the british government as a whole. booby sands gave the quote 'our revenge will be the laughter of our children' but people of the same community planted bombs, killed innocent civilians for their religion and in the process killed so many catholics and from that destroyed so many families. you have to realise that more innocent civilians were killed in the troubles than all the fighting forces put together. It's my nature, having lived in the community of the centre of irish republicanism and opening my mind to the utmost damge both sides did to ask, what was it for? was it worth it?
the brits are still pillaging villages of iraq, the irish could not and will not ever stop them

 

It seems that you're still tarring all Irish resistance groups with the same brush...the RIRA purposely hit civilian targets which is the wrong way to put pressure on the Brits. As thebhoymalone said the Provos went after legitimate targets like the RUC and army personel.

And you're twisting my words with with that last sentence, I never said the Irish will stop them "pillaging Iraqi villages", basically what I said was that they should be an inspiration to guerilla armies the world over.

 

you said they might think twice before they invade another country, low and behold they do and the iraqi rebels can do alot more against them and alot tougher opposition.

have you ever read the PIRA's 'green book'. their strategy includes:

1. A war of attrition against enemy personnel [British Army] based on causing as many deaths as possible so as to create a demand from their [the British] people at home for their withdrawal.
2. A bombing campaign aimed at making the enemy's financial interests in our country unprofitable while at the same time curbing long term investment in our country.
3. To make the Six Counties... ungovernable except by colonial military rule. (they really care about the people of NI, don't they?)
4. To sustain the war and gain support for its ends by National and International propaganda and publicity campaigns.
5. By defending the war of liberation by punishing criminals, collaborators and informers.

these people care more about hating the brits then being republican

 

I can....the * milk snatching!!! Evil from day 1 that cow!!

 

By the early 1990s, the bulk of the IRA activity was carried out by the South Armagh Brigade, well known through its sniping operations and attacks on British Army helicopters. The bombing campaign principally targeted political, economic and military targets, and approximately 60 civilians were killed by the IRA in England during the conflict.

Actually killed more civilians than targets

they killed between 600 and 650 civilians, a third of all civilian killings

and only 300 ira members were killed

 

mate can i kindly ask you not to use the phrase ''plastic paddy''. your referring to Scots people who are proud of their Irish roots... I'm am Irish and am no * 'Paddy'.

that is a dirty, derrogitry and very demoralising term.

Im sure you can understand where i'm coming from,

thanks!

 

mate you got it wrong

Plastic Paddy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

can i just point out to you mate that had the British not invaded, murdered, raped, terrorised our men, women children and island, there would have been no need for any resisatance from IRB IRA PIRA etc.

They did however, decide to do these things to us. It is our right to stand and oppose the invasion of a foreign tyrant, and by all means rid our land of them.

It is heartbreaking that so many people, and so many innocents have died, but please do not place that blame at the door of the Irish who rebel against it, but at the door of those who took it upon themselves who oppressed.

I think its a greater sin that men should lay down to the

 

where in asking someone to stop referring to my nationality as being a 'Paddy' am i 'wrong'

i understand the meaning of the 'plastic paddy' term, but thanks for the link

 

Thats Scottish or Scots people...Scotch is a term used by people who are ignorant.

Its a very annoying to be referred to as Scotch

Im sure you can understand where i'm coming from.

Oh and btw Scotch is a drink.

 

Great post pal spot on there

 

Smartest post in this thread, but you have to realise all these pointless could have been avoided. Most deaths could have easily been avoided, they killed little kiddies in Warrington, they went out with bombs looking to make political points and just ended up murdering people, some members murdered prods just because they were prods. they wanted to bring NI to colonial militant rule.

The irish who rebelled mostly caused violence and tyranny to our country. I do blame the brits and i blame the rebels for not doing things differently.
