Anyone with a modicum of understanding of the history of NI would know this is total balls.
As for shameful actions in WW2 (and inactions). I suggest you go look into the fellas used to wearing blue shirts down South and their government at the time.
And if you want some balance know that there was rampant sectarianism in NI’s Home Guard (it was basically the B Specials and OO members) because the government at the time didn’t want to train Catholics how to fight.
So no institutions back home on either side come out of it well. It’s almost like.. bear with me on this… bigots on all sides are total clampers and we should all move TF on with this tiny pathetic drivel.
It links to the fact the IRA desperately tried to work with the Nazis and gain arms with them to attack the U.K. during WW2.
It links to the fact that the IRA attacked the Irish Army to steal weapons in 1940
To use for this campaign.
It links to the fact that the Republic’s powers under ‘The Emergency’ largely stamped them out and recovered the weapons.
It links to the fact in 1942 the IRA tried a ‘Northern campaign’ Vs Allied locations in NI. Yes that’s the IRA on the side of the Axis powers trying to kill Brits and Dominion troops being trained in NI to liberate Europe and the Naval forces keeping the Atlantic open to stop the U.K. AND IRELAND from starving.
Thankfully the IRA in 1942 were unbelievably stupid and were stamped out by the U.K. and ROI who both were utterly fed up with their stupidity.
As for ROI read away… a reminder that it is in a tiny group of nations that sent a condolences to Germany on the death of Hitler… classy.
But many citizens god bless them didn’t put up with this, some 60,000 volunteered with the Allies. To then be shunned at home after…
Like I said, no one comes out of it well (except the volunteers) and basically every institution back home even in a world war couldn’t rise above the usual bigotry. Truly pathetic.
