Thread Name: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
"Make no mistake, your "Armed Struggle" set back the noble cause of a United Ireland by at least 20 years."

Stuff and nonesense, Keith.
You would still be singing 'We Shall Overcome' on our behalf. in your folk clubs of an evening.
And we'd still be getting shot and burned out of our homes

Your Government never listened to us!!!
Can you either not read, or not remember?

That's why the IRA started the Campaign in England; giving you fair enough warnings to clear places that weren't totally military targets.

A United Ireland is a lot closer than you think, Keith.
The GFA was signed on the back of the IRA ceasefire.

Had there been no Armed Struggle, there would have been no ceasefire, and there would have been no GFA

Whereabouts in that timeline is there proof of the effectiveness of non-violent protest?

Anti-Irishness is so ingrained in some of your psyches that you don't even realise it.

If you believe we did not have a legitimate cause because of what your country did to us in your name, well then you do perpetuate the myth that your precious 'Britishness' draws it's lifeblood from.
