I don’t do politics anymore, they’re all useless cunts who are merely pursuing a career choice that comes with plenty of perks and a great payslip. They don’t give a flying shitfuck about any of us little people. Abstain from lisbon and any future elections until there are parties with real ideas and alternatives.

Napoleon was one of the good guys – it was the lads from THRUSH who were out to dominate the world.

Obviously Napoleon decided it was time for another go…

You could be right Globetrotter – the UK in the long run was better off without the 26, though the same can hardly be said for the 26 as the Ryan Report showed.

Positives ? Setting aside the strengthening of the idea that people could choose their rulers rather than rulers having a divine right, It effectively put the brakes on French ambitions to conquer Europe. League of Augsberg and all that sort of thing.

The 1916 Rising had many positives for the empire on which the sun never sets as well…

Seriously though, what were the positives of the minor skirmish at the Boyne?

We should. It was a big event with many positives for all of Europe.

Imagine, we could start celebrating the Battle of the Boyne.

Have to say HM that Ireland is taking Grandmother’s footsteps towards a Protestant attitude – People have an a la carte attitude towards Church teaching and increasingly rather than accept Church discipline are looking towards their own consciences – which is what Protestantism is all about.

As regard colonisation – It was how people lived back then. Might as well criticise lions for eating antelopes. We have moved on from overt colonialism and Imperialism, but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing in the past – it was how humanity advanced.

You make good points Maggot. No denying the interminglingisational aspect. And the more mixing goes on, the more peace prevails.

I wasn’t aware of the Irish colonisation of parts of Britain (apart from the 1950s). So we were plundering conquering heathens after all!

I would actually support the conversion of Ireland to Protestantism believe or not.
