  1. “should be shot” is an exaggeration:

    >Subsequent proclamations prohibited loitering, sending telegrams in code and ‘the possession of wireless instruments or carrier pigeons’. Restrictions were also placed on holding fairs and markets, which, in the words of Lieutenant-General Percival, ‘provided opportunities for the IRA leaders to meet together and discuss plans’. On 28 April a public notice warned the people of Tipperary that ‘a civilian with his hands in his pockets is necessarily an object of suspicion  …  and renders him liable to arrest and, in an emergency, runs the risk of coming under fire.’ Failure to stop when challenged by a British Army curfew patrol on Castle Street in Cork city proved fatal for seventy-year old Denis O’Brien in early March.

    Silly-an is indeed from cork so maybe he knows about it but he also just habitually seems to have his hands in his pockets, about 30% of the pictures he shoots for are in that pose, or at least 1 hand in the pocket and it has made it into a lot of his acting as well.

    I fuckin hate tiktok voice.

  2. I’d like to know will and Harry’s thoughts on this forced subjugation.

    Are they worldly enough to think its irrelevant or are they just as bad as their lineage?

  3. That’s just Cillian’s face, there’s loads of memes of him because when he’s not acting his face always looks some kind of unimpressed. He’s a big enough actor that he could just choose not to go to a Royal premiere if he didn’t want to.

    Ronan O’Gara’s hands were sweaty so he was trying to wipe them off before shaking hands with the Queen.

  4. Funny that the video creator used a picture of the Cairo gang to show an Irishman with his hand in his pocket.
    Maybe it was part of his undercover disguise?

  5. The old photo with the lad in front with one hand in his pocket with a cigarette in the other is a photo of The Cairo Gang who were a group of British Intelligence.

    They were the lads killed on Bloody Sunday in 1920 by The Squad under the guidance of Michael Collins.

  6. It’s absolutely bs. He had his hands in his feckin pockets. It means nothing.

  7. I am fairly sure Cillian is a republican, but this is beyond a stretch lol

  8. Pronouncing it as “Silly-Ann” tells you all you need to know about the credibility of this.

    He shook hands. Hands in pockets is just natural, relaxed stance. Cillians face always looks like that. I wouldn’t read more nto any more than that unless Cillian said something himself about it 

  9. Well that’s a load of nonsense

  10. There was actually a decree given in Cork in 1920 that men should not keep their hands in their pockets, but it wasn’t from the English royal family – it was from the “Death or Victory League”. Here’s a photo I took in a museum in Cork. https://i.ibb.co/v3f86rg/IMG-2442.jpg

  11. If you believe any of that codswallop, you should seek help.

  12. IIRC Ronan O Gara said that his hands were sweaty so he wiped them in his pockets before shaking her hand and that picture was taken just before?

  13. Seriously, is this the divisional shit that’s allowed to spead on Shittok?

  14. Ok, aside from the whole “hands in the pockets” thing, would it not have made more sense to show him as Damian Donovan than Tommy Shelby in this context?

  15. Is that why all the lads on-site be protesting? 😂
