Thread Name: BS: Ireland-What happened?
Subject: RE: BS: Ireland-What happened?
brian hanley can spout uninformed nonsense so what
the IRA was not a nazi organisation, the facists in ireland were called the blueshirts and were an off shoot of a minority of fine gael members, and an ex army organisation called the aca,army comrades organisation, the blueshirts and aca fought on the fascist side in spain, some meMbers of the ira fought on the anti Franco side.
Tom Barry OPPOSED the idea of the IRA cooperating with the nazis, he also opposed the IRA fighting on the anti franco side, as he considered it a distraction.
he also believed in irish neutrality during the emergency.
DIRECT ACTION IS AGOOD IDEA however I would not know where to start,   
interesting to see that PETER lABAN is still out there ready to jump on my back at any opportunity .
