Fight for Ireland?

Not a chance would I. Not even enough guns to give people. Ireland would be gone in one bomb fall

Ha! Most people are too afraid to stand up to their office managers, never mind fighting an armed and experienced invader! Just have a look at the work problems threads.

Fight to defend our way of life, on behalf of our elites; property speculators, developers and assorted modern day gombeen men and women? Not a hope.

We dont need the Brits, our own can fcuk us over just as well

But put a 5.56x45 Steyr assault rifle in their paw....

its the people who society generally look down who will step up to defend you first. They dont have much to lose. Rich and upper middle class will not defend you. As a saying goes: In war politicians give ammo, rich give food and poor give their children.

As example in point during the first stages of pandemic when people were afraid to touch a door handle, its bottom front line workers who showed up everyday.. your bin man, your maintance worker etc.

I think you need to brush up on Irish history. We had a civil war and a war of independence which involved a lot more than " a few people ". You also should be damn glad that you haven't seen indications in your lifetime of the same thing happening again. Where I'm from in Tipperary the vast majority of families are descended from people who fought for our independence.

You must be young then. The IRA stood up to the British war machine in the very recent past.

From the shapers, to the young lads who are "hard" but spend 20 minutes doing their hair, to the call of duty players who come off as vetern soldiers.... they'd all **** themselves and run away if asked to defend the country.

Did you ever hear of the INLA "commandos" went out to North Korea as good Socialist Freedom Fighters for training, Weapons and fundraising. The story goes they turned up, they were given board & rations. They were unfit, inexperienced with weapon handling and poorly disciplined by North Korean standards in the workers paradise". They were telling the North Koreans they were waiting for funds up in the mountains with tanks and artillery. Eventually the north Koreans gave them a brief case of forged US dollars and told them to "fupp off". They duly laundered the money during the holiday season. We are all still awaiting them coming out of the forest.

Suicide bomber what about the legion of the undead (AKA Junkies). Strap them them up with RDX and tell them If they knock on the hatch door, they will be given free heroin. Two problems solved in one go.
