@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british Was the cause of the Neolithic replacement violent in nature? I’m saying the cause for said replacement was disease. You’re saying it was a violent replacement. The paper indicates beaker violence was rare and sporadic. Not enough to destroy an entire pop

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british My opinion is consistent with the paper. Is it just word ‘invade’ that bothered you?

The Irish Celtic Gael came to the British Isles as the invader c350bc. The indigenous British identity has been damaged by the ICG invader, not the other way around chump. The irish aren’t native or indigenous to Western Britain or Great Britain or any other British Isle.🇬🇧

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british No one’s denying prehistoric violence existed. It’s the nature of that is the questio. They didn’t just ‘invade’ and kill everyone. From one of your own sources:

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british Soriano, I. et al. (2015) Open Warfare or the Odd Skirmish? Bell Beaker Violence in the North-Eastern Iberian Peninsula Carman & Harding (1999) Ancient Warfare: Archaeological Perspectives Archeology shows real conflict and violence in prehistoric Europe

@JamesMadis83877 @jordsjailacc You are

@Fork__Handles @jordsjailacc Entitled? Look at the amount of American money that fuels your economy. Ireland would crash without it. Who's entitled now?

Yanks are entitled brats

@Capardheron @CatholicArena I never said I was pro life, pointing out that the existence of abortion doesn’t infringe on my right to practice my faith. You haven’t answered the antisemitism questions I asked, tactfully dodged on your part

@Fork__Handles @CatholicArena It is not about that. It is about saving life. If you are not invested in the protection of the unborn ..may i respectfully suggest that you remove the picture of Pope Francis from your profile. It is inappropriate.

The paranoid Hibernophobia sweeping some corners is bizarre There are about 2,000 Jews in Ireland, 60% of them live in Dublin, that is why the audience don't know any If you asked an Israeli TV audience how many Irish Catholics they personally know, what would the answer be?

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british Really? Are you going to provide anything else other than “they had weapons”? If a Greek sword was found in Britain, does that mean the Greeks invaded? You need more evidence. Can you provide a published paper to substantiate your claims? Shouting “weapons” isn’t enough

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british What did they use weapons for?

@Capardheron @CatholicArena But that’s got nothing to do with you. It wasn’t blocked at the ballot box, was it? Your Catholicism hasn’t been infringed. People of many faiths voted as is their right. You don’t have to like it, we don’t live in a theocracy

@Fork__Handles @CatholicArena Unacceptable. We have to power to block abortion through the ballot box. Pepe John Paul II is very clear about this as is Pope Leo. I refuse to render unto Caesar the bodies of the innocent unborn. Any person who votes for abortion is NOT a Catholic.

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british “Must be seen as an invasion”

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british Can you show me where I said this?

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british That’s your extrapolation, you need a hell of a lot more evidence than just they had swords therefore it must’ve been by force. Again, the historical and archeological consensus doesn’t agree with you

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british Clearly the beakers with there advanced weapons they were buried with were pacifists.

@Capardheron @CatholicArena Render unto Caesar. You can be a catholic in a secular republic. Calling out mass murder committed by Israel isn’t bias, or are you going to call the pope an antisemite? Sure you can be unhappy with legalised abortion but God is the ultimate judge, not me or you

@Fork__Handles @CatholicArena RTE & Irish Times are very prejudiced against the Catholic Church and the pro life position. They are similarily biased against Israel. Politics and faith come from the same moral centre. We have abortion in Ireland because people dont inform their politics with their faith.

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british And following that, you’re claiming a similar thing happened with the celts, while failing to take cultural adoption, assimilation, and non singular Celtic genesis into account

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british Again, the disagreement is of how the beakers overtook the indigenous pop. Your contention is that there was armed invasion (genocide)? I’m saying there’s little to no evidence to substantiate that as the cause.

@Capardheron @CatholicArena So you’re not gonna give any examples? What do you mean as a catholic I should know media bias? You’re like an American catholic, don’t conflate your politics with your faith when it’s unnecessary

@Fork__Handles @CatholicArena Maybec you might seek out some members of the Irish Jewish community and have a conversation with them about anti semitism in this country. If you do that with an open mind i believe you will have a somewhat different view. As a Catholic surely you know the bias of Irish Media.

@TheGriftReport Fair to say she overreacted

Irish woman Cait O’Halloran, 40, went on a vile drunken racist rant at staff at the Holiday Inn in Runcorn, Cheshire, screaming “All British people should die!”, “All British people should burn in hell!” and “F*** off and die” after a row over a new room key card, she targeted two different hotel workers in the reception and smoking area on 17 January 2026 while heavily intoxicated, police were called and she later claimed a hazy memory of the incident, at Warrington Magistrates’ Court she pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment and was fined £614 plus £331 in costs and a surcharge, the judge noted her early guilty plea and remorse but stressed she now has a criminal conviction she must declare to her employer, her solicitor said it was completely out of character and alcohol was a major factor,

@KevinRafAuthor @BBCNewsNI You seem completely ignorant of the history of Ireland and Britain. Your writing is erratic and lacks sources for the ‘information’ you’re providing

@BBCNewsNI How can the Irish emigrate to a country they were mostly part of? linkedin.com/pulse/dispelli…

A new exhibition examines what life has been like for Irish people who emigrated to England over the past 200 years, finding that generations of Irish families remained poorer than their English counterparts. bbc.in/4ekKFHb

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british Yes, but there is no suggestion that the beakers supplanted indigenous populations. You’re over extrapolating

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british Some individuals were clearly armed and possibly trained fighters. Weapons in graves suggest prestige and identity tied to combat. Metallurgy would have led to more advanced weapons, and yes, they may have brought diseases with them which the locals had no immunity to.

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british There so much unknown about the beakers and the Neolithic replacement. The predominant theory is disease, not invasion. So it’s amazing you know exactly what happened when it’s still a subject of debate

@Fork__Handles @HibernianSea @western_british The celts came much later. The beakers arrived via GB. The beakers had warriors and when those warriors arrived even on small boats, that would constitute an invasion.

@jp_shurlock @HibernianSea @western_british Youre conflating linguistic and cultural traits with genetic identity. The existence of Celtic languages doesn’t necessarily mean a genetic link but also cultural adoption. There is no single Celtic gene. So there wasn’t ’surely’ an invasion as you’re assuming

@HibernianSea @western_british Definitely, it was continued migration , but the initial migration onto other people’s land surely must be seen as an invasion. it wasnt a systematic, organised genocide, but the male lines of the genome largely disappeared while some traces remained with the female line

@Capardheron @CatholicArena The post wasn’t defending antisemitism, it was highlighting the small pop size in Ireland and that not knowing a Jew isn’t antisemitic. Can you give examples of the ‘huge problem’? Has the government made antisemitic statements or policies?.

@CatholicArena It is not "paranoid Hibernophobia". It is a fair reaction to a huge problem in Ireland. Anti semitism. As a loyal Catholic i object to your defending Anti semitism. I suggest that you brush up on the writings of Saint John Paul II.
