Vanders, don’t lie. I never said 3000 people is nothing. I said that 3000 people over 40 years means this is a puny war. It is. 3,000 people died in ONE DAY on 9/11.

“When he wants to, he can right off 3000 people as a justification for opposing British “tyranny”.”

I am not writing it off. I am just putting it into the proper perspective: 3,000 over 40 years is a puny “war”. Britain lost 60,000 in one day at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

“The end justifies the means, you see.”

Vanders, you seem to be getting desperate. You can lie all you like about what I wrote or didn’t write, but it only makes that desperation seem ever more obvious.

‘In the border counties (Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth), there were instances of Protestants being intimidated by more extreme neighbours and groups, most notably the IRA. There are records of Protestant farmers in these areas being attacked. Many of these Protestants responded by leaving their homes and moving across the border into Northern Ireland. This also contributed to the Protestant decline between 1911 and 1926.’

‘Until recently, there was discrimination against Protestants in the labour market of the Republic of Ireland. For example, Trinity College, although a Dublin University, was mainly attended by Protestants. (Even today it is a stronghold of Irish Unionism.) In many jobs, Trinity College was not accepted as a source of education, so applicants who had attended Trinity were automatically rejected. This had the effect of preventing most Protestants from applying for the jobs. There are other, more specific, cases of discrimination. For example county Clare library service was told by the Irish President, Eamonn de Valera, that it should employ a Catholic chief librarian. This discrimination meant that many Irish Protestants had to migrate to Northern Ireland or Britain to seek employment. This also contributed to the trend between 1926 and 1991.’
