  &quot;The <b>British</b> Broadcasting Corporation owns all footage of the IRA.&quot;<br>Irony at its finest.

  There’s a deep irony in the BBC owning the footage of the IRA

  The Irish &quot;famine&quot; is a misnomer. It was a genocide. All Irish produce was shipped to England meaning that the Irish relied on the potatoes for food. When the potatoes crop failed, boat loads of food continued to be shipped to England

  Small nit: the man the English put in a chair before executing back in 1916 was James Connolly. Having been injured in the fighting, he was unable to stand and was, hence, put in a chair. So, he wasn&apos;t &quot;disabled&quot; in the sense of having been born with a disability, he was &quot;disabled&quot; because he&apos;d been wounded. Which in no way changes the mockery of justice which lead to his death.

  I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ve said it before, but your font &amp; typeface game is second to none.

  I feel like people from non-colonized nations will never understand the pain and suffering that comes from colonisation. My parents&apos; country and its people still face the repercussions of almost a century and a half of colonisation. I say this as an Algerian, not an Irishwoman. In France, we barely touched upon the subject in school. But I think that&apos;s why one of the only (or the only?) vehemently pro-Palestinian European nations is Ireland.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvM2cSp7Wdo&amp;t=688">11:28</a> That man was James Connolly and he was not strapped to the chair because he was disabled. He was strapped to the chair because he was so badly injured from the fighting that he couldn’t stand. Doctors estimated he had about 1-2 more days to live.

  As an Irishman I really don&apos;t like how people interchange the words &quot;British&quot; and &quot;English&quot;. King James I was Scottish, most of the colonizers especially in Northern Ireland were Scots. The British as a whole colonized us, not just the English.

  From Ireland, it’s always strange to see long form documentaries on YouTube from, don’t take this the wrong way, foreigners. Thank you for this and thank you for your work. For those interested my great great grandfather was Thomas Ashe, one of the first hunger strikers. Thanks again

  How dare those Irish want civil rights in their own land, who they think they are, natives?
