1057.0. "history of britain" by KERNEL::NIBLOCKD () Thu May 14 1992 12:29

    HI.
         I am starting this note becaus i am intersted in the topics that
    have been discussed in the British intellegence note and dont think it
    has any relevance to the issue.
    
    Correct me if i am wrong, but in note 1042.43 toby talks of the wrongs
    that england has emposed on ireland.
    
    The understand the phillosophy that prodistant is fathfull to the crown
    and us to rome. I allso see a long tredition of poor education and
    no political support for the british catholics from the time southern
    island was a part of the empire to today when not a single catholic
    sits in the house of lords.
    
    but tell me prior to king william when rome was catholic. Thay went
    about the Genecide the the celts and the pagans of europe.centuries
    later Before the Prodistant beleifes started drifting down across
    europe this country was still killing celts, Shamen and pagan alike
    
    when king billy finaly got to grips with the England and its
    surrounding counteries the killing still went on. 
    
    then we had the lord protector ( cromwell and his son ) thay where not
    catholic or prodistant. he was a christian of the old school. He sent
    is pureist new moddel army to ransack ireland. then we had the
    prodistants back again. if my history is a bit mixed up please tell me 
    but the argument that this country has pilliged other countries 
    for many years and is giveing catholics a bad time. consider what
    the roman and europian counteries have done in the past to island
    populations all over the world... i think its well time that this muck
    rakeing should be put to rest and an argument based on the facts of
    today like the cowerdness of the SAS shooting, the sick justice of the
    gilford four and the cowerdice and genecide of the harrods bombing

    Suggest you read note 277, where there are two versions of Irish
    history, one the colourful production of Mr Mike Hughes, which 
    gives vintage cowboys-and-indians Irish history but to be taken
    with a pinch of salt. But it's good fun, and gets the story sequence
    right, however it's riddled with irritating inaccuracies. The
    other version is my own production, probably not without its
    own faults (e.g. definitely lacks Mike's vivacity!) but 
    probably more objective. Or so I like to think.
    
    Note 277 also refers you to the HISTORY notesfile where there
    is an extended topic (over 100 entries) on Irish history.
    
    Have fun,
    
    Toby

    I have read Mikes version, what number is yours. 
    
    Thanks,
    
    Patsy.
