𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬: 𝐀 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 The Easter Rising was a failed terrorist insurgency and it ought to be remembered as such. It was a futile and hopeless insurrection that resulted in disaster, destruction and death for so many involved.  Shamefully, Irish extremists have reinterpreted and exploited the “Rising” to inspire a legacy of Republican blood sacrifice and armed struggle which has plagued this island for over 100 years. The Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), responsible for the “Rising,”were far from heroes, saints and role models. They were a small group of socialist elitist fanatics who sought to physically impose their radical ideology on Ireland despite the wishes of a moderate constitutional majority. An example of their marginal status is the fact that over 200,000 Irishmen voluntarily signed up to the British war effort, whereas less than 1,300 took part in the IRB’s infamous insurrection. Which do you think was a greater reflection of Irish society as whole? The “Rising” terrorists misjudged that more Irish men and women would support them in their military campaign as it unfolded. However, the dismal numbers that turned out on Easter Monday, which had originally meant to be Easter Sunday but for the confiscation of imported illegal arms and arrest of Roger Casement on Good Friday, meant that the entire mission was doomed to fail - and fail it did. Within a week the radicals had surrendered and they were imprisoned awaiting trial. The swift, abrupt and fierce response by the British Army generated support for the weaker and amateur insurrectionists. So too did the hasty trial and execution of the main plotters. But ultimately, the “Rising” would sew the seeds for future conflicts in Ireland, including the War of Independence, the Irish Civil War and even the modern Troubles. The truth of the Easter Rising is now substituted for Republican legend and romanticism. The failed insurrectionists are elevated into Irish folklore and memorialised in such a way that reinterprets their radical terrorism as something to be inspired by. Terrorists are now viewed as founding fathers of the state even though an independent Republic would not be realised for over 40 years after the “Rising,” and when it came to pass it would look nothing like the socialist state James Connolly and Patrick Pearse envisaged. Every year at Easter, aspects of Irish society revisit the outdated and irrelevant victim-story which wrongly asserts the British as evil oppressors, while at the same time proclaiming extremists as saint-like revolutionaries.  In a baptism of anti-British hate, new generations are indoctrinated into a divisive, anti-British, victimhood mindset justifying the physical force tradition within Irish Republicanism and providing cover for the heinous, immoral and discriminatory killing sprees that Republican extremists have engaged in for over a century. The Easter Rising should be remembered, not for its success, but for its failure. Not for its romanticism but for its horror. It marks a major moment when the gun was first fired to answer the Irish question at the start of the 20th Century. Its legacy and impact on this island is not one to be proud of. The failed insurrection has been used to justify every IRA terrorist campaign since which have claimed the lives of so many innocent people.  Remember the Easter Rising but remember it for the right reasons.

@Choyaa13 Northern Ireland is a region of the UK ,created under the threat of mass murder, That's the real problem

Unionists never demanded Republicans attend Remembrance Day & it's not a Unionist event. It honours sacrifices in multiple wars, incl. 200k+ Irishmen. Easter Rising events feature the 1916 Proclamation for a United Ireland. Expecting Unionists to participate is ridiculous.

@JayBasra2 Indians don't play rugby

While the bots are busy in the comments I’m busy enjoying the rugby 👍

@JamieBrysonLLB Penjelly and Foster went to willie frazer the loyalist terrorists funeral

Nationalist supremacists are utterly deranged. Firstly, we don’t want republican’s at our commemorations. Secondly, no unionist will ever be legitimising IRA terrorism.

@JamieBrysonLLB They should be speaking Dutch language, in honour of king willheim

“those attending were encouraged to support the Irish language and speak it”. Dissidents promoting the Irish language as a cultural weapon. irishnews.com/news/northern-…

@JamieBrysonLLB Yeah, get the bum boys brigade out there

Cliftonville fans were once again allowed to attack homes in the Village and go on a rampage. They should be banned from Windsor Park given their inability to conduct themselves properly. If this was Linfield or Glentoran fans there would be outrage, but as ever it will be swept under the carpet because nationalists must be appeased!

@JayBasra2 The teenage English squaddies ain't never going back on the land border, lots of them came home legless from Iraq

It is farcical to suggest that nationalist leaders attending Remembrance Day events should somehow compel unionists to attend republican commemorations. Remembering all who gave their lives for a better tomorrow is not the property of any one tradition, and to portray it as such is a disservice to those being remembered.

@TrevorBlack78 @rabgee101 Auld king billy was a bum boy We wear the bum boys sash And everybody knows We wear the bum boys sash

@DC77184 @rabgee101 Why don’t you March to Rome to worship an American Priest?

The PUL community abides by the parades commission rules but the CNR doesn't . Last night another clear example at the Irish cup semi final and more will follow at republican parades this weekend. Whether it's football ,parades, memorials etc they just ignore the PC.

@BigHairyAdonis @rabgee101 Suck a jaffa man then

@DC77184 @rabgee101 Why would I suck an orange?

@BigHairyAdonis @rabgee101 Told you to fuck off and suck an orange man

@DC77184 @rabgee101 Are you a homophobe as well as stupid?

@Tipler1983 Auld king billy was a bum boy We wear the bum boys sash And everybody knows We wear the bum boys sash

True.

A Christian preacher being arrested for harassment. This is the work of Starmer and actioning of his plan for the UK.

@DerSchwarzBaron How dare them taigs want irish signs

The fuss? Symbolism over democracy.

@matthew_shanks1 How dare them taigs want irish signs

I am reliably informed that this fake and inflammatory sign has already been REMOVED! Well done to whoever did so - they ensured that DEMOCRACY has been upheld! Why do Nationalists and Republicans want to impose Irish signage everywhere, even where it’s not wanted? Shameful!

@matthew_shanks1 Will he get joanie adare to support him

Frank is the only Unionist who can win in west Belfast! I know HUGE numbers of people are behind him already in Dunmurry - recognising the work the DUP is doing in the area and wanting to see this at a Stormont level! Looking forward to continuing the campaign!
