"Your "cut-n-paste" from a TV Programme shows nothing of the sort, the Home Rule Bil"
Wasn'tr from a "Television programme" - it was a series of essays based on the research for a series of Programmes.
We know what the Curragh Mutiny was - it was a threat to disobey orders if troops were sent to prevent an armed insurrection in Ulster - in other words, to support that armed insurrection by neutralising the British Army in Ireland - sounds like mutiny (or something more sinister) to me.
Been here, done that - go and read the tee-shirt - all the facts are there for all to see other than those who don't wish to read them.
No more on the "betrayal" of the British Empire's Irish allies in parliament - at least that one's out the way.
Or the fact that the "traitorously" rebellious Ulstermen were the first to import arms into Ireland to be used by paramilitaries for a political purpose SUPPLIED BY GERMANY - now there's a coincidence .
