Tell me where Ulster is?

The mural is surely reality now, no argument. But this was a march organized by the Northern Irish Civil Rights Association, which was inspired by America’s civil rights marchers. Your own link regarding Martin McGuinness not only doesn’t support your assertion, but asserts that the IRA were not involved with this, and not “hiding behind civil rights protesters”. You’ll be offending many people if you continue to slur innocent dead. This, more than anything, was the incident that caused the end of a peaceful pursuit of resolution of grievances there. Be mindful of that when looking back on it now.

Who is slurring innocent dead? Do you know what PLO/Hamas tactic I was referring to the IRA using?? Using innocents as human shields. (And that is aside from the links of the NICRA to the “Republican” movement, the IRA and the Communist Party of Northern Ireland and other leftist movements such as the Campaign for Social Justice.) One struggle.

Like it or not, the majority of people in Northern Ireland wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom. Now with the European Union owning all of the British Isles, that point is utterly moot since both the UK and the Irish Republic are both reunited under Brussels’ aegis (and nobody in the Republic likes to admit that, although some face the truth), but the European elites will keep this sectarian strife going according to the principle of divide-and-conquer. The Red Hand of Ulster has gone pale.

I’m not sure who you’re replying to. The legitimate civil rights organizations know full well that that the PIRA used their agitation for rights as a smokescreen to hide their murderous designs, and were not at all happy about it. If anyone’s angry, blame PIRA, not the messenger for pointing it out.
