This one is coming up
April 19th
"The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which happened in Amritsar, Punjab on April 13, 1919, remains a poignant symbol of the atrocities inflicted upon the Indian people under British colonial rule. This tragic event served as a pivotal moment in India's fight for independence, as it fueled the country's demand for self-rule and liberation from British oppression."
"The protestors had no idea that Dyer had decided to use force to disperse the gathering. The firing continued for approximately 10 minutes, killing an estimated 379 people and injuring over a thousand more."
Men, women and children 😞
On a role, we shot people at Croke Park in Dublin, just a year later.

Men, women and children 😞 On a role, we shot people at Croke Park in Dublin, just a year later. Croke Park - Context:- "Bloody Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Fola) was a day of violence in Dublin on 21 November 1920, during the Irish War of Independence. More than 30 people were killed or fatally wounded. The day began with an Irish Republican Army (IRA) operation, organised by Michael Collins, to assassinate the "Cairo Gang" – a group of undercover British intelligence agents working and living in Dublin. IRA operatives went to a number of addresses and killed or fatally wounded 15 men. Most were British Army officers, one was a Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) sergeant, and two were Auxiliaries responding to the attacks. At least two civilians were killed, but the status of some of those killed is unclear. Five others were wounded. The assassinations sparked panic among the British authorities, and many British agents fled to Dublin Castle for safety. Later that afternoon, British forces raided a Gaelic football match in Croke Park. British RIC members called "Black and Tans", Auxiliaries, and British soldiers, were sent to carry out a cordon and search operation. Without warning, the police opened fire on the spectators and players, killing or fatally wounding 14 civilians and wounding at least sixty others. Two of those killed were children. Some of the police claimed they were fired at, and this was accepted by the British authorities." I am not defending what happened, just providing some context. It is only right to highlight the events leading up to what happened at Croke Park. |

It is only right to highlight the events leading up to what happened at Croke Park. Yes I know. But it's a shame Nobby that only you stand up and reply. I am being deliberately provocative given the language of one of our mods, Epping, who shuts down debates, tags forums as "for polite debates only" and then uses language such as " woke, foaming at the mouth left wing extremists" without ever having the balls to directly and factually contradict a point being made. As much as you and I disagree Nobby, you do stand up. Not something that can be said for anyone else on this forum. |
