Kevin Barry wasn’t fighting ‘fascism’. He was fighting for an Irish ethno-state free from foreign influence.

@@highiqgenius9910 Read the proclamation. Read Connolly and Larkin. This Island is great because of looking outward not inward. Name me one great Irish woman or man that believed in an insular ethno state. Totally sick of right wing openly racist dumb as the hole in a cows arse 'patriots'.

​​@@highiqgenius9910If you had read the previous post & understood it properly it also mentioned, apart from Kevin Barry a young Yugoslavian resistance fighter aged 17 called Lepa Radic who defied the Nazis & was also executed in the same way that Kevin Barry defied the British & compares both of them as one who fought fascism, & one who fought imperialism. Imperialism is defined as: a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means. Kevin Barry as you know, was involved in the struggle against British imperialism in Ireland. There was absolutely no implication by the OP of this thread that Kevin Barry fought against fascism. High IQ genius indeed!

Except for the fact both the IRA and the fascists had strong contempt regarding the British, many fascists were for the IRA and Irish independence

Who was Kevin Barry's 20-year old comrade?

Agree but as previous war correspondent ... I keep my 'gab' shut. With a name like Deirdre and the O'Dhail clan I keep my gab shut even further.

Even more accurate yet would be to say “the Black and Tan war”, as “the war of independence” was subverted by one side joining forces with the British. Independence was not gained by the free state, the republic betrayed.

Total agree, backing not needed. Spoilt it.

The ballad was penned shortly after his death by an author whose identity is unknown.Barry's family investigated this in the 1920s, but were only told it was the work of an Irish emigrant living in Glasgow. Some sources claim that it was written by Terrence Ward, a journalist, but this is incorrect: he actually wrote another song about Barry.(At the very least it seems that nobody is actively claiming copyright of this song.) It is sung to the melody of "Rolling Home to Dear Old Ireland" (also known as "Rolling Home to" several other places).

@@petermccormick4872 I’d always wondered why there was no information on who’d wrote this song so thank u for your reply.

​@@paddycaldwell3112Would you not change the flag to an Irish flag instead of the Ivory Coast flag? On your message

Well of course, he is. Luckily, in the C.S.I series and « Castle » , they are not searching for that kind of body part ( that is of course if they only see the half of a dead body).

God bless LC as well - even if he was likely an atheist!

@@mjw12345 he converted to bhudisim

@@williamlane7160 I recall something like what you write - but it seems it was more meditation stuff. NPR: Well, I never became a Buddhist, to tell you the truth.
