Poc is right, that is a disgraceful part of British history.
I was and remain a supporter of the British Army and what they did in Ulster. I'm also a proud member of the Fighting 69th, a regiment formed with the express purpose of freeing Ireland from British rule.
Yes, I'm fucked up lol
I lived in Belfast for 3 months, I deliberately got myself embroiled in some interesting situations there to experience it for myself.
I came away with the opinion that the root problem of The Troubles is the radical Protestant movement.
Namely the UFF, UVF etc... Just a bunch of vicious, murdering scum.
The Brits don't want to be there but they have no choice. That is until the dirty Catholics ;) breed themselves into the majority of the population, which they will do.
I drank in a couple of hardcore Republican bars with people who were my natural "enemy", something I wouldn't do on the Shankhill.
