    As a 50 year old Irish republican with a Protestant background, I have huge respect for these guys. Caught them at EP last year and the energy was class. Been enjoying them ever since and delighted to see them doing so well. They picked up a microphone instead of a gun and they speak a lot of sense that seems to be missing with the new wave of young republicans. Massive respect to the lads. Bring it on.

You speak the truth, and I'm forever grateful for that. Growing up in north county Dublin, most of the adults around us refused to talk about the situation in the north, anytime the topic came up - especially during the troubles - every adult in the room tut-tutted, shook their heads and quickly changed the subject. What a pathetic attitude! Thankfully, things have changed for the better and you guys are playing a role in that...Just for the record, one of my drinking buddys here is a fine, proud protestant from Lisburn, who celebrates St. Patrick's Day in fine style...May God bless you guys, 😆☘.

      Correct. I went to RC school in England (during The Troubles) and happened to have a lot of Irish and Scottish teachers so was taught a great deal of the history of the British Isles (in the eighties if you were RC in Southern England you mainly came from Ireland,Scotland or some other part of the Empire). I even had a fiercely Welsh music teacher who taught us some beautiful Welsh language songs and folktales. The first time I was ever around majority English people who had not come from RC or non English backgrounds was at University and it made me realise how little they knew about what colonialism did to countries like Ireland, Scotland, the Commonwealth etc. They really did not have a clue - they were brought up on BBC and Thatcher nonsense!

I feel the biggest thing to take away from all the points they hit on is this idea of "inclusion" whether it be Irish, English, loyalist, nationalist etc. All this is not going to be solved without the participation of all sides, with all views and backgrounds accepted. The English government has always ruled as exclusionary and more pertinently, nothing anywhere has ever been solved by partitions, divisions, borders and walls. I wish these lads well on their journey and fully support them. Btw I'm English and work for the crown but enough is enough.
