Thread Name: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
Subject: RE: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
Oh Skarpi my friend if only it was that easy, I mean it should be, but we are fighting years of hatred and prejudice, this prejudice goes back far beyond the protestant catholic divide that characterizes today's problems. Back to the days of Oliver Cromwell, and others who occupied and plundered the island Ireland, and treated her people like slaves. Remember a conversation we had about the involvement of the Danes in your own country, and remember how you told me you feel about that bit of history. Who was it said to me he would rather speak gaelic than speak Danish? What is going on now with the McCartney family and Sinn Fein's disowning of the thugs who have kept order and discipline in the ranks of the PIRA for years, is perhaps the most momentous thing that has happened in Ulster for almost 80 years.
