"You mean those who died while trying to overthrow an Empire of 8 centuries standing, who ,as you pointed out, weren't being celebrated, but commemorated."
Ehmmmm No Jim those who died over the events of that week at the beginning of it had absolutely no idea of what they had been caught up in, the "volunteers" were lied to, the civilians died for no reason at all and the forces of the Crown died to maintain law and order.
"who ,as you pointed out, weren't being celebrated, but commemorated."
And IIRC you stated that both myself, the President of the Republic of Ireland and the Taoiseach were all in error on the commemoration thing and that those deaths and events were being celebrated. Now I suppose that I will be accused of lying and we will have your usual ding dong where it will become obvious to all that you once more are lying in your efforts to prove your point - just as you did on the "No Poppies" thread and on the recent "Syria" thread. This thread moved to personal attacks, so obviously, it had to be closed.
