Rifles of the I.R.A. is the fourth album by Irish folk and rebel band The Wolfe Tones. The cover shows the band members dressed in the traditional dress of the IRA. The folk singer Christy Moore said of the cover, "I equate that particular record sleeve with Foster and Allen, dressed up as leprechauns. It was the very same thing. It had the same significance at the time.

I see Come Out Ye Black and Tans is supposedly number one here too now? Diaspora i assume, confirms the most obvious Eurovision theory of them all.This poster doesn’t hold back!
Anti-recruitment poster in Enniscorthy (c. 1909): "Join the Army. Sell your souls, your country, and your God for the Saxon shilling. Join England's hireling murderers. Go to India, to murder women and children and shoot down men who are fighting for liberty." https://t.co/RdV1T0o94x— Liam Hogan (@Limerick1914) January 7, 2020

My great granddad was one of them Irish sellouts for the Saxon shilling! He got quite badly disabled at Gallipoli and was lucky to survive because the ambulance ship that rescued him was taking sniper bullets or something. My historian minded uncle who has the full story is currently dying of prostate cancer and the NHS can't operate on him because his kidneys are gone, but I'm it was a good story iirc but i just can't remember most of it.

― hyds (gyac), Monday, 3 February 2020 15:49 (four years ago) link
agreed that only a failure of ff/fg brings any other party in as a major player
sf rise is prob attributable to those two both in govt together as well as fg failing to ensure that any benefits of 'recovery' are felt outside of the economic fundamentals on bank balance sheets and propertied class equity ratios
