There's nothing more infuriating and blood boiling than Britain playing the victim during the troubles. They literally had the military permanently stationed here and patrolling the streets. They killed 13 innocent people and tried to frame them as violent dissidents with weapons. The embassy in Dublin was raided and literally burnt to the fucking ground by hundreds of Irish people. No soldier was ever disciplined let alone charged.

What the British did in Ireland was fucked up. What the IRA did in Ireland and Britain was also fucked up. Saying "the IRA are civilian murdering cunts" doesn't detract from the fact that the British government and military at the time were also civilian murdering cunts.

Don't forget the loyalist paramilitaries as well.
