AT least the British managed to murder 14 Irish civilians at bloody Sunday.Yeah, 1972 was an awful year.
As well as the rise of the UDA there was Bloody Sunday, Bloody Friday, the Aldershot Barracks bombing and more than 100 soldiers murdered.

I think my post recognised that........
UDA + Bloody Sunday
Bloody Friday + Aldershot
I ensured a 2-2 draw
So we're pretty much classing the British Army as Terrorists now then?
What was that a league table of?
Extraordinary Gentleman.
No point in this.
You come from a side I will always struggle to understand (I was born a Protestant in Belfast in 1975 and joined The Parachute Regiment), and I have little interest in engaging in a debate with someone who is as stubborn in their beliefs as I am.
I'm 44 and happy to be away from that shit.
I was brought up in a toxic environment and as I've come to realise, this type of conversation does nothing to improve it.
The GFA was drawn up to enable both sides to move on.....The British Army should be included.
That's my input and with that, I'm bugging out
If Darwin read this thread I’m sure he would admit he was wrong.
The great potato blight.
Country United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
Location Ireland
Period 1845–1849
Total deaths 1 million
Observations Policy failure, potato blight
Theory Corn Laws, Poor Law Amendment Act, Gregory clause, Encumbered Estates' Court, Crime and Outrage Bill (Ireland) 1847, Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, Three Fs
Relief see below
Impact on demographics Population fell by 20–25% due to mortality and emigration
Consequences Permanent change in the country's demographic, political and cultural landscape
That's what St Patrick's day is all about. Turning one of the most appalling genocides in British and Irish history into one of the greatest celebrations.You could argue that for the Irish diaspora as a whole (myself included) the consequences have been overwhelmingly positive
The corn laws were in place previous to the famine. Blight came and caused the famine and gradually the government lowered the tariffs to get food in. Eventually abolishing it which was the kick start of free trade.Country United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

They don’t just feel strongly about though.That's what St Patrick's day is all about. Turning one of the most appalling genocides in British and Irish history into one of the greatest celebrations.
I am only trying to correct basic errors on this thread.
There was no famine. The Irish language didn't just die out. There was a prolonged and tyrannical mechanism in place to destroy Ireland.
That is why there are groups in Ireland that still feel strongly about it.

The British never started the famine.
Africans die everyday due to starvation and lack of clean water. We could stop it no doubt but no one blames us.

Cos it's not as if the ira would use underhand tactics like waving a white flag to kill a British soldier is it!If a lad comes out waiving a white handkerchief to help an injured/dying man and the accused gets down on one knee and puts a bullet through his head, then I'd call that cold blooded.
Dont see how you can argue otherwise tbf.

FFS!!

You finally got round to using the word genocide I see despite being proved wrong repeatedly throughout this thread.
I’m still waiting for your apology for destroying ireland seeing as you are born and raised in England.
