    I'm a Republican I have more in common with British people who view the world the same way I do, like Arthur Scargall for example instead of Irish people who have noting in common with my world view.

    I have much more greater admiration for Brit politicians like Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, Michael Foot etc... than I would for the likes of Dev or even Martin McGuinness.
    No no no, you criticised an aspect of Britain, you are filled with rabid hate of every British person ever, in person. Yes you! :)

    You see, that's your mistake. Your only real knowledge of the British is through rags like the daily mail, which makes you no different to the people that read it and take it in.

    Unsurprisingly, this makes absolutely no sense. I don't read English rags, I read about how English rags manipulate the Eng/British public, just like how Section 31 manipulated Irish public opinion, and Operation Mockingbird manipulated the American public.

    I walk a higher path, son.
    Slavery was covered extensively when I was at school.

    You must have went to a particularly critical school (that had no effect on you whatsoever) because it only became required reading for secondary school pupils in 2008.

    an Phoblacht is not a higher path mate. It manipulates you far more than any of the English rags do.

    hang on, so if the slave trade had been part of the compulsory curriculum since 2008, wtf are you bellyaching about?

    What are you on about? I agree with him, chip on the shoulder and hypocrisy is true when it comes to Irish people.

    :D So sadly hilarious. You being a cliched Irish person with a hat (bowler no doubt) doffing inferiority complex.
    So you deny that Irish people don't have a chip on the shoulder when it comes to Britain?
    So you deny that Jewish people don't have a chip on the shoulder when it comes to Germany?

    One of the most sectarian statelets in Europe.
    The Republic?
    A friend of mine and her Protestant brother were sent to a Catholic school and had to endure numerous beatings there.
    She is raising her kids as catholics saying she wouldn't put them through what she had to suffer.

    Oh yeah because no Protestants ever beat up Catholics or vice versa in the North Lol, it is terrible but discrimination against Catholics happened at government level in the North not just in the playground. .

    But yeah I agree the Free State was also sectarian, that "special" place the Roman Church was given on Devs scrap of paper, yuke. Without doubt there was rome Rule here from 1922 until the 1990's. I have to admit if I was a Prod living in the North I would not have fancied being ruled from Dublin during the 30's - 80's. Thats why Irish Republicans wanted to start fresh & get rid of both sectarian states & create one new Republic based on the Proclamtion, 1919 decleration of independence & the Democratic Program.
