"Jim, what is your opinion of the Irish men shot by the Irish firing squads of the civil war?"
I think the Irish Civil War was an appalling affair caused by the betrayal of the British Government in forcing through a Treaty.
Atrocities happened, as do in any war, but to suggest that what happened was worse than the Tans is partisan nonsense - no rapes, no torture, no mass destruction - just Irishman fighting Irishman
"Jim made that up in desperation to save his own silly face."
I did not I drew those dated from your own link and indicated the timeline.
Nowhere and at not time has anybody ever suggested Irish children weer brainwashed to "hate the British" as you originally suggested - you have never produced an example of anybody saying so, in the past or now.
Please do not accuse me of making things up with your track record.
Perhaps you might help Terrytoon out and answer the question which touches on both your claims - no/ - thought not!
Do you not realise how deep a hole you pair have dug for yourself.
