''We Irish conquered by peaceful means of penetration ...😏.''

'' Back in the 'good old days' in Ireland I remember when I felt like the world was my oyster, living in blissful innocence with no smartphone in sigh .. just a few smart-arses to deal with ...😲.''

''We Irish are good in the arts and fighting for our liberty ...😏.''

 '' When you understand the scars that came of Irish .. you will understand ... 😔.''

 '' My father is Irish, my mother is Irish .. I guess that makes me Irish Stew ... 😒.''

 ''Back in 'my' good-old-days in Ireland when I thought the world was mine for the taking and living in 'perfect innocence' with not a smart-phone in sight .. just smart-arses to battle with ...💣.''

'' And when fearless emotions give rise to the rebel within to fight for freedom and for what it signifies to be a united nation with the shackles of colonialism plunged into the sea to rust to dust, only then can we call ourselves a nation once again. ''

Extract from my new story FATE ...

''My father is Irish .. my mother is Irish and that makes me Irish Stew ...😧.''

 ''The Irish do not know the word 'moderation' .. we were under colonial rule too long that it was beaten out of us .. so a queen dies and a pawn takes over with a rook at his side ...😕''

''We Irish are 'conditioned' to living amongst 'false gods' .. it's what gave us our 'Irish-mess' ...😒.''

''The Irish are never choosy when we are in the Jacuzzi ...😒''

''Northern Ireland is the Six Counties that is full of 'symbols' .. for Catholic Nationalism and Protestant Loyalists each 'symbol' is made all the more potent because of it's history ...😟.''

''So .. I am sure most of you are asking who is 'this' Cromwell .. well, he was sent by England in the middle of the 1600 hundreds to put 'manners' on the Irish, we were 'colonized' then and still are today. He was very 'willing' to do this because he wanted revenge on the Irish for 'rebelling' against the English 'landlords' and besides, he detested Catholicism. So off he went to Ireland on a rampage with his poorly-payed-army, mostly 'draftee's' and killed off 200,000 thousand [round off figures] out of a population of two million island people and then did his 'very best' to move the rest into the West of Ireland .. poor land and the Altaic ocean dictating the weather. In the 'six-counties', Northern Ireland, Cromwell is still the 'hero' to this day ... in the Republic we are 'looking' for Cromwell .. payback .. and so, Ireland 'sits' in Europe and nobody asks questions ... because the 'answers' are too embarrassing .....''

''The Irish Government puts the 'refugees' out into the West of Ireland .. Cromwell did the same to the Irish in the middle of the 1600's .. next stop, A-mer-iee-kaaaaa ...😟.''

''You can take the Irish out of Ireland but you can not take Ireland out of the Irish ...☘️☘️☘️.''

 ''What Ireland needs today is another 'Michael Collins' ... 🇮🇪 ''

''There is no 'free' country ...😠.''

''You can take the Irish out of Ireland but you can not take Ireland out of the Irish ...☘️.'' 

''Back in 'my' good-old-days in Ireland when I thought the world was mine for the taking and living in 'perfect innocence' with not a smart-phone in sight .. just smart-arses to battle with ...😲.''

''Nothing is sacred .. but, for a really good send-off there is nothing like an Irish wake, at the best of times it can get too nondescript to contribute any emotional attachments to .. o.k, remind me again, whats his name ...😕.''
