Wind that Shakes the Barley jail scene

Damien (Cillian Murphy) and Dan (Liam Cunningham) discuss William Blake, Frongoch camp, James Connolly, the Dublin lockout, the Citizen Army, and the Socialist Republic. From The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

[@cobrolchain2]

@FA8T They said commercial institutions. Their piece is slightly different from what Connolly wrote, which went "..England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs."

Well done.

If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs. - James Connolly. Long live free Ireland! (from Lombardy)

I guarantee if you ancestry tested most of the " southern irish " population they would have the same results backs as most english welsh Scots , its religion that tour us apart and the british government.

[@dowdallerno1]

Bollocks mate, no harm to you. It's money, the English took over Ireland stripped all the natural resources and tried to exterminate the disloyal Irish. I have no gripe with Joe soap English man. But the ruling elite can get to fuck.

[@warbler1984]

That isn't true...you can look this up we're more similar to each other we are to Greeks for example but we do have genetic differences. And it wasn't religion that was just an added bonus. The first invasion was 1169 and they were not Protestant back then

[@BlueStarJT]
