Crazy how we have attacks like this still causing issues and hurt 50+ years on in our society. It really puts into perspective what’s going on in Palestine, they have massacres of this scale regularly.

The British do love their history, just not the parts where they were the bad guys.
Fine Gael want these people running the whole Island not just the Gardaí.
Yeah, we know, we’re constantly reminded of it by fellas trying to gin up a bit of indignant feelings because deep inside themselves they’re just numb to the world.
Note: a mod from the northern Ireland sub removed the post claiming it isn’t a major anniversary. What a fucking insult to the victims and their families.
