The IRA

i’ll be honest i’m having trouble squaring ‘become world leader’ with ‘make it illegal to leave the country’ but i’m sure they had it all worked out

Oh twas only emigration holding us back the whole time

If we couldve kept them and forced them into military service or labour what a nation might we have forged

ireland in the 40s was definitely held back by not being socially conservative enough and being far too cosmopolitan and outward looking

also too many people speaking the old sacs bearla

Just a few more million starved, penned and whipped into misery is all we wanted by god

The real enemy was the fucking Christian Brothers industrial schools. But obv picking up the slack from a defeated 6th army against a force bigger than your country might seem pretty sensible when your on very strong shrooms, in the pre countrymeters.info era!

Gearóid Ó Cuinneagáin (born Gerald Cunningham[1]; 1910–1991) was an Irish far right politician born in Belfast in present-day Northern Ireland.[2]

He originally worked as a tax clerk in the Department of Finance before resigning when refused leave to improve his Irish.[3]

see i had an observation upthread that sexual perversity feeds into some of this shit

freddie stakeknife, both-sides (three sides?) player, double agent hitman, up to his neck and subject of major controversies over british collusion in planned and known murders

done for bestiality porn the day

not. fuckin. normal.

obviously a lot of evil bastards in the ra but scappatici is something else. spending your days torturing and murdering for a cause you don't even believe in, torturing and murdering people you know have done nothing "wrong" to cover your tracks.

the internal security unit was one of the dafter organizational decisions of the ra. going from the old structure of brigades and all that, which were an intelligence nightmare, everyone in a local area knowing all their fellow volunteers and where they lived etc. the active service unit model makes a lot more sense. then you give internal security access to everyone, and you get a mole at the top of it. whole organization compromised

love a bit of armchair paramilitarism

A terrible man.

always good to see ye in here lads tbf

I've kind of fallen off my few years of obsession with the troubles. miss it a little bit. lebanese civil war and modern iranian history are the new obsession.

glamour of the continental game trevor

bearded men brought together by their shared love of high explosives, you just never get tired of seeing it

There's apparently the possibility that a couple of volunteers fought alongside the PLO in Lebanon, which I would love to find out more about.

i can't believe it's not ourselves alone

I really fancied a girl who lived on the same estate as me. She was really rebellious and very much into the struggle. I thought she'd be impressed with my joining the IRA. Needless to say, I got 18 years, went to jail and never saw her again.

I actually almost yelled at that on this train.

Let’s remember him as he would have liked.

As a Trump fan who thinks the threat to nuke the North could knock the paddies into line
https://youtu.be/fI68I5g1H0A

The time he dressed up as an Islamist extremist to attend court (!) in protest at him being charged under the same hate crime laws as a brown person
https://youtu.be/6RL_eEM3xTA

Or as the guy who goes off at flags?

In May 2012, after seeing the Italian flag being flown as part of a cultural event held in Donaghmore's St Patrick's Primary School and mistaking it for the Irish Tricolour, Frazer accused the school for 4-to-11-year-old children of being "the junior headquarters of SF/IRA youth", stating on Facebook that "I wounder do they also train the children in how to use weapons, for it seems they can do what they wont."(sic) Concerned for the safety of students and the school's reputation, teachers informed police of the accusations and photographs of the school posted by Frazer were later removed from Facebook.

In 2014 Frazer attacked the BBC for having a supposed Gaelic Athletic Association top on the soap EastEnders and that "it glorified terrorism" and the IRA. The top in question turned out to be a PE top from a Ballymena school. When asked if he wanted to apologise for the mistake he refused.

Following the 2013 horse meat contamination in burgers scandal Frazer gave an interview to The University Times in which he claimed horse meat had actually been introduced to the food chain by the IRA five years before the scandal broke. He also claimed that republicans were behind "old fat cows that are 30 months old" being sold for food before adding that "a blind eye has been turned to it" and that "this is the kind of thing that's going on that we're sick of".

oh can't you tell
oh can't you seeeeeee
the IRA will sell auld beef

Just mad I can’t find a video of him dressed up in his sash going “what did you say, you slabber?!”

the hash my father etc
