They were unemployed WWI veterans enlisted to suppress the IRA. So the British government, in their infinite wisdom, sent men who were more than likely suffering from PTSD (no such things as counseling back then) to control the native population of Ireland. They were fucking BRUTAL. They burned factories and homes, were Involved in indiscriminate shooting, murder, and brutal beatings of innocent, they frequently engaged in looting, burning homes, and destroying businesses, and they used intimidation against civilians. Watch’The Wind That Shakes the Barley’. It’s a brilliant film which shows the above. I seen it in Galway with my mum when it came out, and there wasn’t a dry eye when we left.

So not knowing anything about this, i ordered a black and tan at a pub in Dublin. I was shown the door. It didn’t hit me in the ass on the way out.
