Re: Why Did You Forsake Us Ireland?
[QUOTE=swimfeeders;1525217]Hi
Ancient history is just that, Ancient.
More recent history is relevant.
The IRA planted a bomb and deliberately targeted children, including my two.
My initial reaction as a Dad is very simple, kill them.
I am logical, they have stopped planting bombs, so me kicking off would be no help at all.
The violence has stopped, that is a winner.
Agree Swimmy. Britain is expected by one and all to keep apologising for its actions from centuries ago, when recent history is more important than quoting dates and figures.
We could indeed ask for an apology from the Irish for the horrific Birmingham pub bombing where countless innocent people were slaughtered, or the Tower of London bombing where innocent tourists were targeted, or perhaps the Hyde Park bombing where the IRA didn't give a damn how many were killed when they targeted both men and animals.
But history, as awful as it was, is just that, history!
