Marxist, socialist thinker, Irish Republican. Those all do fine. Do you reckon I'm a traitor to the crown, too, or are we all even stevens now?

You know there's a difference between those who fought for Ireland's just independence and those who just spent the 70s and 80s running around bombing innocents and painting **** murals of snipers on the sides of community centers, don't you?

We've got hospitals and train stations named after him, for goodness sake. Behave.

You are correct. He was a bad example and maybe i should have said his commemorative march in edinburgh will have been attended by irish terrorists.

He wasnt a terrorist then but probably would have been one in the 70's

S'why I'm a Quaker.
