BBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Actress 'would have joined IRA'





Grrrrr. Stupid cow has no idea what she's talking about ffs. So she'd have liked to have murdered innocent women and children would she?

Idiot.

 

[Uara]

Jesus christ, how naive can she be

 

[DaGaffer]

Doesn't surprise me, I've met exactly that kind of attitude from Americans before. Funnily enough, you don't get it from many actual Irish people (who also generally regard Irish-Americans as eejits).

 

[Chilly]

I'd join the Taleban if the US had fucked me over.

What makes you think they'd have you?

 

[ECA]

I'd shag her senseless but it looks like someone beat me to it.

 

[leviathane]

People like this who have no understanding of what went on/why just piss me roight off. I'd join the Holy crusade if i was in tht times blah blah blah.

Come on, I think we should give what she said some thought. She's clearly a very smart woman:

[Mabs]

have read both his books, not sure how true they are , but interesting none the less didnt realise they were filmafying it

and she should get her head examined, preferably with a bit of 4x2 with some nails in the end...

 

[leviathane]

In all fairness she has just done a Hollywood adaptation of it, so I think she knows what she's talking about. lols gotta love hollywood idiots.

 

[Scouse]

...none the less didnt realise they were filmafying it

Hmmm... Wonder why she said it?

 

[tris-]

id go in just for the scandal

 

[taB]

I love the Daily Mash

one mans freedom fighter is another man's terrorist etc.


ultimately they got what they wanted. It was injustice in their eyes, they fought against it, rightly or wrongly.

i am not condoning random acts of violence on any member of society (apart from trems nazi birds).

both sides were at fault.

 

[DaGaffer]

ultimately they got what they wanted.

No they didn't. The IRA wanted a united Ireland.

The reason this woman is a fucking moron has little to do with the rights or wrongs of Irish Republicanism, and everything to do moronic American attitudes towards "the auld country". Most of them would have kittens if they actually read any of the IRA's Marxist manifesto, or actually realised the IRA's "day job" back in 80s and 90s was actually extortion, robbery and racketeering. Not to say the UVF were any better, but the real phrase shouldn't be "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter", but "one man's terrorist is another man's cut-price gangster".

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

i said ultimately, the best they could have expected post 911.

i agree with you about the gangster element as well, but as you said, the other side wasn't much better.

Maybe the actress wanted to impress her Noraid friends

 

[Tilda]

She is fucking hot though.

I wood.

 

[throdgrain]

I'd shag her senseless but it looks like someone beat me to it.

Quote of the day.

The Americans have a very VERY romanticised view of the IRA, which I had hoped had, for the most part, changed post-9/11, as they found out first hand what being the victims of terrorism is actually like.

The reasons IMO for this Rose-tinted vision is as follows.

Firstly, many Americans can trace their ancestry back however many generations to the Old Country.

Secondly the American Civil War. Fought against the British.

Thirdly, hardline Republicans in the US who honestly believe that the majority of people, in a country in which they've never set foot in, want and desire a United Ireland. Which is certainly not the case.

All of these reasons IMO lead them to believe that the IRA were/are a bunch of plucky freedom fighters, sticking it to the oppressive overlords of the British Government.


Far fucking from it. True freedom fighters wouldn't torture, kill and maim innocent civilians for no discernible gain. They'd target military installations and police forces. Both of which the IRA rarely bothered with. They terrorised the population of this country, thereby defining them as terrorists.


I wonder would Rose Magowan be so quick to say that she believed that the 9/11 bombers were justified in their actions, and that she would have gladly hi-jacked a plane and flown it into a building, killing over 3,000 people in the process? Somehow I seriously doubt it.

Secondly the American Civil War. Fought against the British.

war of independence even ?

Aye that. Knew it was one of em
