Deanburn Dave Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sure. But if they must have a statue why not a statue of an Irish hero?How about Neesons column or is that too controversial ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sneered at because we have collectively been conditioned to believe it to be fanciful by our media. I wasn't being sarcastic.

John Lambies Doos Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Whataboutery. Absolutely not. Calling James Connolly a traitor is the words of an imbecile.

NotThePars Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Do you genuinely not know?I wouldn’t be asking if I wasn’t interested to know. Why is he a traitor and why specifically should whatever he did disqualify him from having some sort of commemoration like a statue? He seems to be quite well regarded in some circles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In collaboration with its enemy he took up arms against his country when it was at war. That's the very definition of treachery. I'm sure he is well regarded in some circles. That doesn't change anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
