Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
@TRobinsonNewEra It was three asian lads that were stabbed. We don't know yet who did the stabbing. What if it turns out to be a white male? What will you all say then?
@LozzaFox Aww. Using religion to show you are better than other people. Christian institutions and states have at times sanctioned crusades, inquisitions, forced conversions, and abuse, where faith, power, and politics fused.
Single working women are being forgotten. Rents rising. Tax freezes. No support. No safety net. Survivors of domestic abuse can’t house share for safety reasons; we need recognition and fairness. Please sign and share.

@DavidOlusoga@BBCTwo@BBCiPlayer Thanks, that makes sense. I did some digging as it is part of my heritage, and I only meant that the earlier Laois–Offaly (1550s) and Munster (1580s) plantations meant the framework was already there before Ulster and Virginia. Your point on the overlap is right
@DavidOlusoga@BBCTwo@BBCiPlayer Absolutely, they were concurrent, and the exchange of people and ideas between Ulster and Virginia is important. My point is simply that Ireland remains essential to the story of the empire, and excluding it changes how that wider history is understood.
Much respect . Sam
@DavidOlusoga@BBCTwo@BBCiPlayer Thank you, David. I’ll look forward to watching that series. It is reassuring to know Ireland will be given the space it deserves within the wider story of the union and the empire. Much respect.
@DavidOlusoga@BBCTwo@BBCiPlayer Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate that you covered Ireland in a previous series, but its omission here still creates the impression that the empire began overseas rather than within the British Isles.
#OnThisDay 1652 The 'To Hell or to Connacht' Act (officially the Settlement of Ireland Act) passed in the Rump Parliament in London, following Cromwell's war in Ireland. Catholic land ownership plummeted across the island as it was forfeited to adventurers.
