    My friend and I were I was Dublin in 1968,we we're English and stayed In the morning star for a shilling a night, although we were protestants we never felt threaten and the church fed us, we hitched all over southern Ireland and picked spuds for food and board, I was interviewed by a TV programme called seven days who paid me £2 enough to get the ferry to Liverpool, it was a great time, I was 15.

    I'm very grateful that my parents emigrated Eire in 1958 for Australia. I am the youngest of eight. Life wasn't easy but mum and dad worked hard and gave us a good house, huge back yard, summer holidays by the beach, education to university. It's sobering to watch this. I often daydreamed of what life might have been like if I stayed in Eire. When I returned as an adult in 1981 I was saddened by the depressed scenes I witnessed.

And how does that go for every publican...I never heard of the guards doing fuck all for charity either...they barely do the job they are enshrined to do as it stands...fucking pulling decent people on the way home from work wont go out and do what's needed.. I'm sure plenty a survivor of sexual abuse from the church went to guards and they got nowhere but go on anyway and run down others

    Johnny Patrickhaus and 5 x sixpence was half a crown. In the early 60s that would buy a quarter lb of fresh butter, 6 morning rolls and 1 pint of milk. And that half crown went between my mum and the neighbour downstairs who took turns borrowing it from each other. Her husband drank but my dad didn't. He was in ill health after a fall from a ship he was helping build in Greenock. No health and safety in those days nor compensation.

    "Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of the government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men, who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. It is thus, by discrete action, we can ensure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished".
    Montagu Norman,
    Governor of the Bank of England, addressing the United States Bankers' Association, New York, Idaho Leader, 26 August 1924.
    “Liberalism is the party of upstarts who have insinuated
    themselves between the people and its big men. Liberals feel
    themselves as isolated individuals, responsible to nobody. They
    do not share the nation’s traditions, they are indifferent to its
    past and have no ambition for its future. They seek only their
    own personal advantage in the present. Their dream is the
    great International, in which the differences of peoples and
    languages, races and cultures will be obliterated. “
    Arthur Moeller van den Bruck , German political philosopher,
    1925.
    Everyone knows that the monetary system called FEDERAL RESERVE is nothing but a big bunch of Khazarian Zionists dealing in debt instruments who will jail you to kill you if you don’t pay taxes to them. Nothing is more sickening than the smug smirk on the face of Benjamin Bernanke, as he sits and listens to Goyim complain. They enslave everyone with usury. They bomb Muslims, with the help of corporate mercenaries from the Pentagon. They want the Muslims to hate Christians, and Christians to hate Muslims.“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control. … Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”
    Larry P. McDonald
    U.S. Congressman, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets
    in “Introduction” to The Rockefeller File, by Gary Allen (1975)“The invisible Money Power is working to control and enslave mankind. It financed Communism, Fascism, Marxism, Zionism and Socialism. All of these are directed to making the United States a member of World Government.”

These wounds make it difficult to do even the things most people find easy. It does not excuse them but we can't automatically put all the blame on them without knowing them.

      curiosity 2019 They did not have birth control pills during those times and I am assuming condoms were very expensive. Everyone had large families back in the day not only the Irish. Probably the Catholic church encouraged couples to have lots of children. Look at the Phillipines, mostly everyone is Catholic and the church is against birth control. The Church doesn't care about people. They sit on their fat arses, filling up their faces with good food. Look how many schools abused children. Sexual abuse was rampant and some even died. Horrible abuse. It is ok to sit back and judge people. Those days were back then and today's world is not much better. Now pedos run rampant, child trafficking, young babies, children being murdered by their own parents even.
