Thread Name: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916
Subject: RE: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916
You have been given the specific question which was not about The Easter Rising but directly relating the the subject you are protesting about - to repeat:
"Irish nationalists can never be the assenting parties to the mutilation of the Irish nation. The two nation theory is to us an abomination and a blasphemy."
Your response
"Cannot really see why it should be such an abomination, they were never a united nation prior to the arrival of the Normans, they were a collection of small kingdoms."
You are saying partition is not an abomination.
No partitioned country under the jurisdiction of a foreign power can be described as "Independent in any shape or form.
You are supporting partition ero you are opposing independence.
Ireland was no more a "quaint little country than Britain was when it was divided into small Kingdoms and that aside, what it was like 800 years ago is totally irrelevant to what it has become since - so what relevance has that got to Easter Week or anything really?
You use the Normans to respond to an opposition to partition and you complain of others bringing in the repressive nature of the six counties since partition - you have to be joking!!
