@@TheWrensHouse What the fuck are you talking about...If your going to comment then might I suggest your contribution makes sense...instead of speaking in riddles
.... I think youll find their is also scottish people in favour of ireland being united and protestants too. Wolfe tonne etc etc were also protestants. It doesnt matter what colour or creed you are.
Well remember... This is a British show That's not something that would be taught in English schools as much. I do history, and the amount you cover for the Easter rising covered a good bit of detail, but some of those questions meant you had to be an expert in that topic so it was a bit harder then I expected.
i had an english roommate years ago in boston and she told me during her years of school they learnt about the english civil war , the american revolution , general european history and history of the empire , but ,, the word Ireland was not mentioned once in history , geography or anywhere else , she obviously knew the Irish were bombing england when she lived there but never knew why and it was assumed the bombings were a result of us hating the english for no reason , thats how proud they are of their history !
@@kevintablet743 I know I'm five years late but he sounded Scottish. Scottish Republicans are quite supportive of Irish Republicanism. His knowledge could be self taught.
Would be funny if he passed them all and someone shouted out from the crowd “GOOD MAN JOHN TELL THE FUCKERS NOTHING”

Mighty!Massive respect to John Savage
Some questions were excessively long!
First action of the rising was in Portlaoise , a train was derailed to stop reinforcements reaching Dublin
Lead by Patrick Ramsbottom if I'm not mistaken

@@dubinboston except the contestant isn't English!
Yeah, it was surprisingly generic for a specific event. Knew all except the Lowe one, too.
Jesus, I knew most of them but the name of the gun boat was news to me!
The Asuard dude
I think he might have bern referring to the British navy gunboat, the Helga.

As an American of Irish descent, this gets to me. I stand by George Washington, Michael Collins, and all who fight for liberty.
Slight difference between Washington and Collins I think.
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c Dude plz stop trolling
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c both were staunch republicans
@@Sean_k_ You do realise their respective ideas of republicanism are completely different? They'd have agreed on nothing
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c true obviously, but their belief in Republicanism as an alternative to monarchism (the British monarchy specifically) unites them.
