Adams led a 'struggle' that will see the Irish become statistically extinct within their homeland in the next 70 years. If you don't understand that then you should go away and learn about it. If you do understand that then you are as much a traitor to Ireland as Adams is.
I was born on a adjacent island, The stories and the DNA test shows that I too am not of this dreadful land. It's not about who owns the sod under the bed you are born in, and Its not about Geography, and more about biology, It's also about the blood, and what lives in your soul.
As an English man. I may not agree with your politics. But i admire you as a human being and your compassion and what you beleive in. Shane was an extraordinary human being doing what he believed. God bless shane, god bless Ireland.
You may not agree but he was absolutely correct in fighting back. As an English man you simply have no idea what its like growing up in a country that was invaded by another nation. It was horrible, the British invaded, murdered and took control of ireland. The British army bullued ys as kids like you could never imagine.
@@docholiday-lm4vf You should research a bit of history. You know that Republican death squads killed more innocent RCs than the Loyalists, Police & Army combined. So it’s a bit rich to post what you did. Ask the disappeared families, the Jean McConvilles etc, the family of Patsy Gillespie, Garda McaCabe Austin Stack etc. They might just give you a different account. But you won’t want to hear it I bet. All just expendable.
I remember that well, I think it was during Thatcher's time. They were afraid that his voice made the British politicians sound weak and insipid by comparison.
What r u all talking about bringing politices in 2 this its the great Shane mac gowns funeral R.I.P he was 1 of Shane's best friends. Do u understand the meaning of a funeral I don't think so look it up in the dictionary u morans
@@PatriciaKavanagh-i4p OK calm down, this is a video clip, we are not at the actual funeral. I wasn't the one who brought up the Gerry Adams voice-overs. Gerry himself paid tribute to Shane's support for the north and his pride in Tipperary's part in the struggle for independence; should we censor that? Respect to Shane, RIP 🙏and may God comfort his loved ones.
This is a very fitting tribute to Shane from his dear friend Gerry Adams, Both Shane & Gerry fought for Irish freedom, for peace justice for all the people, Shane did this with his songs, his words, his poetry, his singing, his actions as a person and with his generosity, Gerry did by being forced to fight against t e brutal British army, its governments and armed police force most of home believed that the Irish Catholics should be grateful just to be allowed to exist and under the constant fear of being burnt from their homes, driven out on to the street in their own country, not allowed to be equal in their own lands, The fight was long and bitter, a very high priced had to paid by to many people just to be allowed to be free people in their own country, We have many to thank for the great sacrifices they made for others, Shane did in a wild free thinking way with song, drinks, dancing, with music, with love and great understanding and with total kindness for the poor, the down trodden, for the homeless, the poor and those that are looked down . God blessed you Shane and you are now in heaven with your dear Mothers, all members of your family, relations and friends, and people that you meet along the way who passed away before you passed away. Shane your funeral mass was the very best, full of joy, love, song, dance and holy mass, what a way to leave this dirty old town behind
@@annadoyle5493 he once said he would stop drinking as well So I don't think you are correct 😊 He was smart enough to know that all terrorists are cowards even IRA terrorists. Period
