Here’s another from Tone, from 1791 and it’s pretty much as relevant today as it was then
“WE HAVE NO NATIONAL GOVERNMENT; we are ruled by Englishmen, and the servants of Englishmen, whose object is the interest of another country, whose instrument is corruption, and whose strength is the weakness of Ireland; and these men have the whole of the power and patronage of the country as means to seduce and subdue the honesty and the spirit of her representatives in the legislature. Such an extrinsic power, acting with uniform force in a direction too frequently opposite to the true line of our obvious interests, can be resisted with effect solely by unanimity, decision and spirit in the people; qualities which may be exerted most legally, constitutionally and efficaciously, by that great measure essential to the prosperity and freedom of Ireland, AN EQUAL REPRESENTATION OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN PARLIAMENT.”
Aye you’d get more craic outta Phil.
Can someone who’s done 23andMe answer me if it tells you whether your ancestors were Redditors?
Yes if only the people could unite…around what i personally think is rational and reasonable and logical, obviously. If they disagree then they’re wrong. Clearly.
