@MarcusMacBride To be more accurate, as a racist Irish man you have more in common with a racist English man than a non-racist Irish man.
This is not a surprise to anybody.

@CormacS63@mongank If a week and partitioned Ireland falls within its sphere of influence then it is Britain's responsibility to protect it.

@CormacS63@mongank Britain partitioned Ireland so that it would have an economically and militarily weak neighbor and assumed this would always be to Britain's benefit.

@HearnsOfficial Hello is very recent. Thomas Edison invented it as a suggested opening greeting for people using his telephone because it came through nice and clear. Bell telephones suggested 'ahoy hoy'.
It's a running joke in The Simpsons that Montgomery Burns is so old he uses ahoy hoy.
@PaddyShanks Not at all.
Funny how when it suits Unionists go all Trotskyite, wanting state interference in a private company.
Security was a matter for the company.
The IE Gov made no objection to ICI takeover, thinking they would increase security, but profit was thier only motive.
@GeorgeOrw25576@PaddyShanks No it wasn't and you know it wasn't.
Nobody buys the bullshit that they were targeted because they Protestants and it was only coincidence that they happened to be UDR or RUC or other crown forces.
@GeorgeOrw25576@PaddyShanks That is simply not true and you know that.
