@Reunify32 @Cairnlodge1 The first chief justice of ni was a catholic. Im assuming you think that means catholics weren’t discriminated against in ni? Also the president is an irrelevant and powerless figurehead

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin There was a programme done about it. I think it was on the BBC. We aren't going to meet minds on this one, so we can leave it until one of us has concrete proof.
I know Cromwell had a pamphlet printed with wildly exaggerated numbers for his conquest of Ireland.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin Yes it is a fact that not all Presbyterians were rebels but what are you accusing me of making up?
English

@cue_bono @Traynor881 @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin Go to Copilot are even Google, they will confirm your figures are well off and give you an unbiased account of what happened and the figures that contemporary Historians have settled on.

@RichieDuprey_ @BeattieDoug A Taliban terrorist for context 🤡

We can complain about this all we want but they get away with it because they are allowed to get away with it.
Parades commission must, if they have any credibility left, refuse all parades organised or notified by IRSP.
The police need to take swift action against organisers.

The Falls Road in Belfast earlier today, where a masked IRSP colour party marched to Milltown Cemetery to take part in a wreath laying. It comes as several Easter commemorations took place in the west of the city. @BelTel

@ah_mac @Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin Nope. The British did not conscript the Irish peasantry. The Irish chiefs did.
English

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin It wasn't a statement, it was a fact. If you read my last post it is clear and unambiguous.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin You made a statement there but you did not say what I had supposedly made up?
English

@2505Mac @DaddyPobbin Where did I deflect?
I said it happened in all parties. In fact all unchecked institutions.
English

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin Making things up again. Not all Presbyterians were United Irishmen but it had brotherly appeal as did the OO.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin You think that the Presbyterians switched from being Irish republicans to ardent loyalists overnight because they weren’t given allowed to join the Orange Order? Try saying that over again in your own head.
English

@cue_bono @ah_mac @DaddyPobbin Now you are making things up, that Chief system was long gone and had been replaced by a very English system.
I take it you heard of the Flight of the Earls.
English

@ah_mac @Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin Just pointing out that the British version that followed was less arduous on the peasantry. To wit they were not required to fight and die in some local land dispute for their Chief.
English

@cue_bono @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin It wasn't my count that was yours and I keep telling you that you are exaggerating in 1641 the Protestant population was between 100-150k.
English

@Mach1965 @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin 30% butchered by your own count is genocide. You lot claim genocide in Gaza where the population has increased.
English

@cue_bono @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin Was the famine a genocide?
There are rules that people follow which govern whether an act is genocide or not. Your account doesn't even touch it. Gaza is in the Middle East and the UN calls out any atrocity.
English

@cue_bono @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin You do it and point it out. I'm content with my posts. Start with the claim of genocide.
English

@Mach1965 @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin I don’t drink at work. Read over the posts and come back to me with anything I said in my original which has not been subsequently backed up by both your posts and mine.
English

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin You're mad!
Those who left, left because of the penal laws. They along with others declared independence in 1776. Those who remained in Ireland were dangled a carrot, being allowed to join the OO.
The Protestant Ascendancy were also against the AoU but they got titles and land.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin The Presbyterians felt insulted after the Siege of Derry because they weren’t given credit for their part in holding the city. They also left for a better life and they were the pioneers who built the place and kicked out the British. These are the people you say were bought.
English

@Mach1965 @bogsavage @DaddyPobbin The post in which you said everything I said apart from the Presbyterians saving the Irish language doesn’t. The ones in which you repeat the facts I laid out for you do.
English

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin Well, if you read up on Irish / British history, you'll find they were enforced. Some harsher than others.
Why do you think so many Presbyterians left for America?
The irony being that they were probably the largest group that fought for American independence from Britain.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin The British made a lot of laws that were never enforced.
English

@cue_bono @DaddyPobbin I think making it illegal by the British set the pace.
English

@Mach1965 @DaddyPobbin Irish mothers deliberately stopped their children from speaking Irish because they viewed it as a hindrance to getting work and especially when they were emigrating. They killed the language not the dastardly Brits.
