Immigration

I do find it odd that De Valera offered condolences to the German embassy after Hitler's death.

i reckon De Valera was just another nasty psychopath in high office. Churchill, hitler, Stalin, Franco, Mussolini, Lyndon Johnson, Blair ..........too many to choose from.



now........Immigration. Will America lose the English language to a hybrid of Spanish.....already witnessed in places like Miami ?

He was certainly power hungry. Why do you think he didn't go to the treaty talks? I'm going over to Cork this month for my annual trip and will try to visit Béal na Bláth where Michael Collins was shot under De Valera's orders.

yes Eagle, you have a valid point. My reply is that Catholic ireland hates Oliver Cromwell for all the persecutions. And yet often forgets that he persecuted half of England too.

regarding your point....persecutions of Prod settlers.....there was some , but there was huge spin and lies about babies being BBQ'ed and other hyperbole. Reminds me of the Brits going to bloody War over a sailors damaged Ear.

War of Jenkins' Ear - Wikipedia

There might well have been hyperbole from both sides, including accounts of the massacres at Drogheda and Wexford. Historians seem to be divided about the validity of testimony describing the events.

I don't suppose that either side could claim the moral high ground.

I read that some of the Bell Hotel protesters are starting to be sentenced. 2 years seems to be the average; look out for fines, warnings and suspended sentences dished out for supporting a terrorist organisation.

"In Sub-Roman Britain, the Scoti of Ireland raided and colonized the western Scottish and Welsh coastlines"

939 Kingdom of Dublin invaded Northumbia

The Scots and the Irish often helped each other out over the centuries.

Not saying what England did was correct but we were just better at invading other people's countries.

And we didn't even invade so much, we just recruited local disgruntled lords and barons to join our side. Divide and conquer gave us the empire, it wasn't about piling the troops in.

Correct. De Valera was the monster who betrayed the Republic. By selling his allegiance to the Catholic Church he made himself a de facto King. He got rid of the Brits and immediately ushered in another tyranny. A Catholic theocracy, Dev was another General Franco.

We didnt get free of his ideological shackles til 1995 with the money of the Celtic Tiger. Freedom for about 15 years and then onward to a Lib-Left EU Pharma-BigTech tyranny.

anyway......Immigration. What rubbish football teams would we have without immigration ? a bit like Dynamo Kiev
