Fair enough. 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.

Nelson fought valiantly for his country, which at the time included Ireland. I find it hard to believe that you're now calling him a traitor, just because he was born in Norfolk.

So why should that preclude him having a statue given that the country he fought to emancipate achieved their independence six years later? As someone else said Mandela was a traitor in some sense but I don’t think people would hold that against him now.*

*apart from numerous members of the current Conservative government once you plied them with enough coke or booze.

I understand perfectly well but Lenin and Mandela were traitors. There’s still plenty of monuments to them in their own countries.

 

Connolly’s apparently traitorous behaviour was emulated six years later and was successful.
