Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5What was the war about all these years?
The aims of the Provisional IRA campaign was the end of British rule in Ireland:
(1) The end of a gerrymandering and the end of Stormont.
(2) The end of British military and police presence in Ireland.
(3) The end of unionism and loyalism.
(4) The end of partition.
(5) The end of the "Free State."
(6) The establishment of a 32-County Irish Socialist Republic.
The result:
(1) Republicans are fully participating in Stormont.
(2) British military and police are still in control.
(3) Unionism and loyalism are still the majority in the six counties.
(4) The abolishment of articles 2 & 3 of the Irish constitution means the copperfastening of partition.
(5) The "Free State" Republic of Ireland is remains in existence.
(6) North and South of the border socialism has been smothered by mainstream bourgeoise political parties.
The "armed struggle" was a total failure.
Other points:
1. The Constitution of Irish Republic now recognizes Northern Ireland as an integral part of the U.K...southern politicians now even refer to Armagh as part of a foreign country. ("Shop at home" etc. etc..)
2. This is a direct result of Provo actions over the years.
3. Ian Paisley's party now rules Northern Ireland.
4. The Union Jack now flies over Stormont more securely than it has ever done in the history of Ireland.
4. Thousands were murdered to achieve the above.....so called "victory".
Check out this shamelessly pro-Brit anti-IRA movie from 1992 which was another one of Ford's "whataboutmywifeandmyfamily" movies.

We're having really bad problems with our economy.
We're having really bad problems with our education.
We're having really bad problems with our health service. And our transport system. And gun crime etc.
How on earth would a State like ours take on a further 1.8 million people? I'm being serious here. Post a link to 'the Great Plan' of integration.
"Unionism and loyalism are still the majority in the six counties"(sic)
Apparently there are still some Jews living in Europe as well.
