Sarah Bellum posted:It depends on the POV. To Irish republicans they were mostly heroes. Unionists and loyalists invariably think of them, and also anyone who doesn't outright condemn them, as sub-human scum of the earth, unlike their own brave heroic terrorists. Middle of the road people tend to see them as despicable actors in a complicated conflict. Thank you for this. As an American, I'd say I'd come down on the 'Republican' side but I recognize that this is driven by how highly romanticized the IRA is in American Catholic/Irish-American circles. I mean poo poo we have a sitting member of Congress who raised money to buy arms for them. Not that my opinion matters much...its not my country after all.

No, really, don't. The very worst possible outcome of Brexit was a possible restart to the Troubles caused by a breakdown in the Good Friday agreement. The predicted one would be leaving the ECHR, but this is orders of magnitude worse. The only upside is that the longer this goes on, the worse it is for the Tories, and that's not something I want paid for with human lives. Night10194 posted:Again, as an American, what's the deal with Sein Finn not taking their seats? Why do they do that? It's protesting the illegitimacy of the Westminster parliament ruling over Northern Ireland.

I mean poo poo we have a sitting member of Congress who raised money to buy arms for them. I spent a year at an American uni back before 9/11 and one of my good friends would regularly insist on telling me how cool his grandma was for smuggling diamonds for the IRA. We were both young and dumb and I suspect this was a story lots of Irish Americans would trade on when the reality was probably er... just not true. 9/11 caused him, I think, to realise for the first tie the impact of terrorism and that he was boasting about raising funds to kill civilians and he hasn't raised the issue with me since. Although we both also grew up I guess. I think my point is probably, as a British person in their mid thirties I don't really feel comfortable claiming I know anything about this and would rather we all move on.

Watch. https://twitter.com/EL4JC/status/873188501990371330 Now bear in mind that the IRA (Sinn Fein side) set off 1.5 tonnes of semtex in the middle of a city just because the UK government were stalling negotiations. IRA aint nothing to gently caress with.... and yet...
