I also think it was 1924. If you are going to be indignant at history, at least be accurate, eh?

Right. Name me one country in the last 100 years which became independent from a union or its colonial masters, where part of it remained behind? The only example is Ireland.
If we followed Ireland's example the world would be a strange place of little enclaves dotted all over, populated by people who didn't want independence and remaining as partitioned colonies.
The Irish nationalists wanted independence for the kingdom of Ireland. The majority supported it. Democracy is where the majority view prevails.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many British people don't understand it.

I'm seriously suggesting the poster doesn't understand democracy.
What you "seriously" did was avoid answering the question...
It is not racist to be concerned about immigration.
Even though this has gone off-topic? I've never supported the armed struggle, if that's what you're implying.
Armed Struggle!
I assume you are attempting to legitimise the actions of armed thugs and gangsters by using such a romantic euphemism?
I'm afraid it won't work. The IRA were **** who used murder terror and torture to achieve their aims.

What part of not supporting something don't you understand?
Picking on someone's terminology of something is a bit weak.
So was it an "armed struggle" or are the IRA murdering ****...?

The IRA were murdering ****, to use your choice of words.
Thank you.
