250 Year seal on War of Independence files...what are they hiding?

    Was watching Tim Pat Coogan on a recent podcast regarding the War of Independence. He said that a lot of of the British Military records from the era are subject to a 250-year unsealing rule in the UK National Records office in Kew.

    250 Years? I mean, even the JFK records aren't under that long of a period of disclosure.

    Which begs the question, what are the hiding that's so sensitive? What could possibly be too-hot-to-handle that it takes a quarter of a millenium for them to cool down?

    British rule never ended, just a fake independence, we are still ruled from Westminster, just covertly.

    Getting brazen these days, head of the Guards , MI5

    Coimisiún na Meán  regulator of broadcasting and online media in Ireland, headed by a British spook Jeremy Godfrey.

    RTE headed by a British man.

    Control RTE and Coimisiún na Meán and you can keep paddy in the dark and feed him a diet of BS.

    Aliens were fighting for the British, that's why they won.
