Most people I see in Sligo are Nigerian or Middle Eastern these days. I cross the border to NI and see barely any illegal immigrants or asylum seekers. It's a weird contrast. No wars in Nigeria - safe country, just a shit hole - so basically they're economic migrants who come here to sponge the welfare system. People literally can't get a house, children can't get school places, college students homeless, prospective teachers leaving the country because they can't find a house. Meanwhile you have these people coming here and overburdening the healthcare system and basically lowering the quality of life for everyone else in the country. Say what you want about the Scots and English but they came here legally with permission of the ruling crown (morally dubious though that was), and at least they have transferable skills that extend beyond procreating and opening cash only rat infested takeaways and vape shops.
That's a good question. I know nothing about republicanism and so am a little confused on the SF stance in the south. Are SF wanting the immigration and all that goes with it? I've lived in Scotland last 20 years and so am completely out of touch but I'm really struggling to understand why SF would welcome the mass influx of unidentified illegal immigrants.

John that was excellent & your own personal knowledge helped it in a big way. Keep 'er Lit.
Really good episode. The book is of a high calibre amongst those of the period. Really recommend it. Good use of facts / details by the host.

Great stuff. Thanks for bringing it all together.🇮🇪✌️

Ask them politely to leave lol 😂

Brendan Hughes was targeted for death by the Det-14th intel company many times. He was an expert operator even though he was self taught.
we hid Darkie in Dublin then sent him to Cuba on recon.
Read the book "Bandit County" in 2000, great read.
Graffiti on the wall was "13 gone not forgotten we got 18 and Mountbatten"
Irish history is awesome.
Wasnt it true that the time the sniper team was caught ,they got the better of the sas team on hand to hand fighting, only for reinforcements landed .
No, it wasnt
@johnbush6901 it is
Another lie

I wonder if Brandon Houghes was the one that said something about the safe houses in Belfast that came from the land agent that the dark cought onto that was later killed
His name was Brendan Hughes - and he was excellent at punctuation.
it was Brendan Hughes - the fella in question was Joe Fenton
Darkie was well respected by both sides
Joe was also executed before Brendan could interrogate him himself, scap probably hurried his meeting with his maker knowing now he was touting himself
This guy running this podcast comes across as he knows everything but drops the ball alot
Bandit Country is about one person,
"✨🎆The Assassin,🎆✨".
Dont forget about the PADRE
The only bandits were the foreign tans .☘️💪
The SAM7b attack you mentioned was ‘91, not ‘81.
@@paulbartlett8596 Correct.. misspoke, had 91 in my notes and all 🙄🙄
It said 13 dead but not forgotten
I heard the SAS were bringing down soviet gunships in Afghanistan with stingers
They hid in shadows, rarely came out to fight man to man
That’s why it’s called guerrilla warfare.
Who, the SAS? Correct
*He was a British soldier & he sees masked men in his dark room everynight & he starts shaking & screaming uncontrollably*
Then along came the SAS 🇬🇧
Sickeningly callous treatment of human tragedies. These were young men, not statistics.
As a Southerner I'm curious what South Armagh thought of Adams/ McGuinness. I get the impression they trusted McGuinness but were a bit weary of Adams.
McGinnis the informer?
@@Barrysmith567 Says who ???
@MR-mc6rj says a great deal of people... I don't think we will ever know the truth tho
@@MR-mc6rj we haven't heard many rumours about Adams being mi5 but we have with McGinnis

Why aren't they protecting Irish people now 😂😂😂😂😂
🇮🇪✊🏻🇮🇪🙏❤️
The Dark is a legend
It's the North of Ireland NOT Northern Ireland.
Behave yourself Henry 😂
Childish
It's the occupied six county's
