"How dare you write a post based upon attributing me with holding the view that Ireland was not entitled to independence."
How dare you suggest you don't - I've given you my reasons for doing so and you have choose to respond with denial only.
You still offer no substantiation to your claims, and you still have not responded to any of the masses of documented evidence I have put up other than to describe it as "Most of it being irrelevant twaddle to be perfectly honest."
Keith has reduced his virtually non-existent contribution to 'cracked record imitations.
Fine - here's what I intend to do.
If I do decide to continue with this (haven't decided yet), I will sum up each argument we have had and will link you to my responses and request a reply - I will also continue to add to the masses of information I have already supplied (which has apparently got right up your nose) - there really is a wealth of it to be had.
I will not respond to any of the type of evasive question questions you are now putting up such as "How many Irishmen were conscripted in Ireland for service in the British Armed Forces"
You've already had masses of response to that, specifically in the form of cabinet notes from the period.
If you are unwilling or unable to give honest responses to these, I will move on until I get bored.
You are offering no facts, documented or otherwise - all you are offering is what you would like to have happened to fit your own preconceptions.
I won't be bothering with Keith any more - shouldn't have in the first place, as he has admitted hi has no knowledge and no interest in acquiring any.
You appear to have an interest, but no knowledge - as Billy Connolly once said "sad but saveable".   
You want to swap Ideas - fine, I'm happy to to do that; you want to reapeat the same thing over and over again; talk to Keith - that appears to be all he wants out of these discussions.
