He's talking about the people on top of the flats you tube.

Defeated? Yeah you aren't from Ireland, are you? You don't know the truth...that was only the Provisional IRA who "surrendered", the RIRA and CIRA are still going.

bring in the tanks and machine-guns, for christ sake: this pissing about solves fuck all!

So, you`re saying that the police were heavily armed because they had batons? You seem to forget that the yobs had petrol bombs, what good are batons in a situation like that? Pity the scum on top of the flats could`nt have been blown off with water hoses!

the brits admitted last year that they "could not defeat the IRA, and that is why a political solution had to be found". the loyalist scum couldnt beat them either, the IRA practicly wiped the UVF out in almost all areas, except belfast. all da loyalist bastards could do is kill innocent people. they are the terrorists. the UVF only killed 12 IRA voluteers. so stop being such an ignorant cunt and face up to the facts.Tiocfaidh ar lá

And another thing for a country that had an Empire around the world, there isnt a lot to be said that is British made anymore in term of products or loyal countries. Independance is a awesome feeling, pride is great too but idiocy regarding bigotry is futile.. I did the guard of honour for the reinstatement/reburial of Kevin Barry and the volunteers afew years ago. he was very young to die and out of it i felt respect at what our ancestors have done. its time to think of the future not the past

Many times i have been asked "o you have your own flag and money£ by americans and indeed some british citizens// education of what happened as to the events that occurred in Ireland or N Ireland need to be understood. Many British people do not know the History very well at all least of all their own in relation to the round heads, cromwell etc.. You dont need to know all but it helps to be able to form a constructive point of view. Democracy doesnt work without protest!!

Christ. This guy is only 15.By the way Toffeeman, learn to contstruct proper sentences.You need a full stop between "scum" and "look". Do we Irish have to teach you your own language now? Before you pretend to know anything about Irish history, go back to your teacher and ask him to teach you how to write properly.
