So the Irish were merely “indentured servants”, huh?
What, to their kindly, benevolent English masters?

Next you’ll be suggesting that the decimation of the Irish under English rule during An Gorta Mór (The Famine) was not that bad.

“...the Times rubbed its hands and told the whitelivered Saxons there would soon be as few Irish in Ireland as redskins in America. Even the Grand Turk sent us his piastres. But the Sassenach tried to starve the nation at home while the land was full of crops that the British hyenas bought and sold in Rio de Janeiro.”
—James Joyce, Ulysses, 1922

And that the Black and Tans were not really brutal murderers that committed heinous atrocities.


And that Na Trioblóidí were not especially traumatic for the Irish people as we fought to free ourselves from 400 years of English oppression and brutality.

In the job advert bulletin of your mind, I’m guessing that Irish Need Not Apply.


Erin-go bragh, Sassenach!
- James Connolly (executed by Royal Irish Constabulary in May 1916, Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin)
