I think it was 1171 when the first British monarch laid claim to parts of Ireland

The French-born, Norman raised, French-speaking Norman Henry II, who was married to the queen consort of France? That 'British' monarch? :pac:

There was no such thing as a British monarchy at that time by the way. You are about 600 years out.

That is the problem with the 'we were oppressed by da Brits for 800 years', myth.... it is a myth.

and began their period of misrule which has continued to this day with the assistance of your pals in your political party.

My party? Which party is that?

Why did SF abstain this evening in the DUP lead vote to amend the abortion bill? Are they a pro-choice party or not?

Have they ever been described as a pro-choice party? I haven't heard people refer to SF in that regard.

McGuinness certainly didn't seem to think so as recently as 2013.

They have certainly moved in this from 2013, but I wouldn't have thought to the extent of them being considered a "pro-choice" party.

Ah, a nice ninja edit after the fact, but still caught out with a falsehood.
But yes, the idea that the monarchy today is responsible for something that happened 800 years ago is well, ridiculous in the extreme.

Nope... but strange you ask that question as you seem to think that the current SF leadership under Mary-Lou is responsible for a whole raft of deaths before she was even a member of SF.

Double standards and hypocrisy is dripping off you.

Ah here we go, when is the King of England not the King of England?

When it doesn’t suit your agenda!

So Henry II, the King of England, was not really the King of England? Explain that one to me so...

Why so blasé about the Brits having responsibility for the deaths of literally countless Irish people yet you get incredibly exercised about the death of a relatively small number at the hands of Republicans?

Answered mo chara. What’s your point in this question by the way? Are you going to try and argue that we haven’t been under British misrule?

Just like I thought, markodaly did actually try and argue this!

Paul Maxwell was murdered by a senior party official

In the name of Sinn Féin? No.

That would be like me saying that Gary O’Flynn sending a bomb to and soliciting to kill a Revenue official did so in the name of Fianna Fáil when of course he didn’t.

So if he murdered the young lad in his spare time it doesn't count. I get your point now.

Serving time doesn't absolve responsibility.

You do know Dessie was acquitted Blanch? If that doesn't absolve you of responsibility I don't know what sort of justice you're looking for.

He was acquitted in the london trial, still convicted for having explosives and timers.
Don't try and portray him as a Saint.

Edit: this (you) reminds me of Trumps half truths. I honestly had thought we'd seen the end of this rubbish.

When is the King of Ireland not the King of Ireland? I presume when they are foreigners? Guess what? When the Normans came over to Ireland, the King of England was a foreigner to England.

So Henry II, the King of England, was not really the King of England? Explain that one to me so...

Oh, he was the King of England alright, but he wasn't British or even English! :pac:

Ah but sure, Dessie Ellis had no choice, he was oppressed by the British growing up in..... Dublin?! :P

He was convicted of possessing multiple power-timer units for IRA bombs.

That makes him a murderer.
