    Bodyke, Co. Clare! Where we still have our farm! Brave Maggie Hussey who fought off the RIC and poured boiling hot calf gruel on the RIC, Welsh fusiliers. Who decided to walk away. Great picture of relatives O’Halloaran sisters

    As i say to alot of people this was not done by britain but by the English. We Scottish were also evicted ie the highland clearances in the 18th and 19th century. I always apreciate the fact that you acurately put that it was the english upper class that tried to distroy Ireland

      Thank you so much, yes I really try to be as accurate and fair as possible, it can be hard being Irish and all lol, fiery temprement, I am sure you understand as a Sister Celt. I guess being in Ireland and being treated just as bad by our own politicians and rich, makes me understand and realise that all us ordinary folk from around the world are blamless in all of this, we have more things in common than we have apart. I am so glad you made this comment, all my best to you all all Scottish Folk x

      We must also remember that it was Scottish settlers in the North that cheated Ireland from becoming fully independent after a 75% majority vote in favour of independence the Ulster Scots Volunteers lead by Lord Carson lead a campaign of terror which in turn lead the British Parliament to capitulate to their term and robbed Ireland of its full sovereignty, The Scottish like to brush this under the carpet and blame all the woes on the English but the Irish and History remember 😉

    Ain't that some shit. Getting kicked off your own land by someone who doesn't even live there or need it.

    A few hours ago I heard that the British government are getting upset because Irish politics are talking about the very near future reunification of Ireland, North and South and never more to be invaded by the brutal British/English who caused nothing but wars, mass murders, starvation torture, kidnapping and all the other cruel crimes that are committed by vicious invading armies, No the Irish are not in the least worried about the upset that the British government are feeling, soon Britain will be even more smaller

      As an Irishman I don’t doubt that England wishes it could give back NI. Frankly it’s a headache for them.

    When I look at history I see these atrocities happening everywhere.
    With the Scottish it was Highland Clearance.
    With the Turtle Island Indigenous it was genocide, as with the Australian Aboriginals
    The common thread is greed and money.
    Humanity cannot do anything about the Greed of others, but when you realize that the money we use is what gives these criminals their power. We also realize that by using this tbing called currency we endorse our own pain and suffering!
    When you realize that war happens the same way the people on top are offered
    Huge sums of money to sell their people out. Putin is the latest example of this.
    All Humanity needs to do, is organized a world wide revolt against money on the same day.
    Once the money is worthless the Oligarchs will have no power! Then we can install a government that works for the people.
    A work for entitlement civilization.
    No money no corruption, no taxes either.
    Any thing you want ,as long as the civilization is intact it will serve everyone.
    Along with that ,how about a global tribe of tribes. A global federation of kindness and assistance. This is what the objective has always been. We live in a Universe of kindness. We are that Universe, our way of lives should reflect this.
    Love peace and Happiness!
