I have always thought what happened in 1916 was a bloody travesty for the Irish people, and a shameful episode in British history, but it seems that be even talking about this is upsetting you and Niamh so... that's me done.

I'm not upset I find it interesting, we can't whitewash history and it doesn't matter how long ago it was it is what shapes a country, I don't expect anyone would want to whitewash the holocaust in 300 years, 400 years, 1,000 years, history is important, good and bad.
Nice to see I'm off ignore
