"and they felt that they were being coerced into something that they did not want.
"As did the Rebels - whence the difference?
They were't elected to bear arms - yet you have condemned the Rebels for doing so - whence the difference?
"This is YOUR OPINION and about as factually wrong as you could get it."
No it is not - it is a direct quote from Asquith -
"Asquith confided to a friend 'there is no doubt if were to order a march upon Ulster that about half the officers in the Army would strike."
so maybe he got it wrong and your source got it right - whoops - you didn't give a source, did you?
"About half the British Officers stationed in Ireland were prepared to back the claims of the Unionists"
Again, a quote from Asquith - same book as previous quote
"who had resigned their Commissions and left the Army mount a Military Coup"
Asquith again asaessing what would happen if the Home Rule Bill was pushed through - he was not just referring to the Curragh munineers, but those who he estimated might join them.
"WRONG – The Irish Citizen Army:"
So?
"WRONG – YOUR OPINION AGAIN – NOT FACT"
Aainn - not my opinion but direct quote from Dangerfield - you've been given it.
You have been given the alttations to the Treaty exactly and how they were made - assuring one signatory that partition was permanent in writing and the other that it was temporary by phone.
Fuck this.
None of this is "my opinion"
I have provided scanned down quotes for every single statement I put up - you have proivided nothing other than denials for everything you have made - no links, no quotes - just denials.
You have the statements - if they are "wrong" then they are not mine and it is up to you to provide proof they are wrong - that really is how these things work.
You want to claim I made them up - please do.
I took great pains to put them together - you appear to pull your denials out of thin air
WHERE IS YOUR PROOF FOR ANY OF THIS - SO FAR, THE NEAREST YOU HAVE COME TO OFFERING ANYTHING OTHER THAN BLIMPISH OPINIONS IS A VAGUE GESTURE TOWARDS THE TREATY - NO INDICATION OF WHERE OR WHAT IT SAYS
As my old mum used to say, "You're all wind and pee, like the barber's cat"
