For crying out loud - if you have no intention of substantiating your facts it would help your not prolonging your embarrassment by just saying so You still offer no substantiation to what you claim - I do not dispute any known facts - only your own 'makie-ups', and until you attempt to substantiate them they remain what they are - made up. Your ongoing arrogance in expecting we should believe from you what nobody else, anywhere, is claiming makes miy case for me - why should anybody believe a pair of serial Empire apologists who refuse to offer evidence for their claims - who on earth do you think you are? As I've said many times. I've shown you mine, now you show us yours - unless you have nothing to show, of course.
This is a summary of the ideals the New Nationalist leadership espoused when it first took offive in 1918
(i) that the people of Ireland comprised one nation; (ii) that Britain had partitioned Ireland solely from self- interest; (iii) that an independent, politically 're-united' Ireland was inevitable; (iv) that even if Britain had to coerce the Ulster unionists into unity — as she was, in honour, if necessary, bound to do — the resulting united Ireland would be economically prosperous and politically stable; (v) that if Britain unilaterally broke the link with Northern Ireland, the Ulster unionists would be obliged to accept an accommodation with the south; (vi) that Britain had the necessary resources — military and/or economic and/or political — to coerce the unionists into accepting a united Ireland. From DeValera and The Ulster Question John Bowman (1989) "What name is on your Birth Certificate?" What's yours? Whoops, sorry - I forgot, you prefer to hide your identity. Your prerogative, of course! Mind your own business (again) Jim Carroll
