  • The newly-crowned King Charles began his tour of Northern Ireland on Tuesday. General Secretary of the Communist Party of Ireland, Eugene McCartan, discusses Britain's legacy of violence and colonial repression in Ireland. During Elizabeth’s reign, the British carried out widespread repression in northern Ireland while super-exploiting Irish workers.

    Even when we're talking about Brits' imperialism over India, let's not forget the fact that British Empire was the biggest drug pusher ever recorded in human history with its opium trade forced upon China's Qing Dynasty, which the Brits (and the Americans like FDR's grandfather) reaped massive amounts of profit from. This extremely profitable yet immoral trade was most likely the source of income which the Brits used to build that very train station the muppetface showed on his show and many other "fine architecture" we see throughout Europe today.
    So... are we supposed to NOT celebrate the death of a druglord's descendant who not only never had to pay any repatriation to any of the victims of her ancestor's long list of crimes, yet be able to live in luxury and limelight her entire live? In an ideal world what queen victoria did in 1840s truly deserves death penalty in many countries in Asia.

      In your wonky world, when does a criminal's child pay up for the crimes of the father? All Jews murdered Christ right????
      And when did a constitutional head of state become responsible for the legal activity then, but now defined as crimes today, and committed respectfully by the people in their country?
      *Alcohol drinks, tobacco, tea and coffee are drugs, coca-cola had cocaine in the original recipe for years*
      The Colombian drug cartels sponsored by the CIA supply the US market which is bigger than the opium market of yesterday's opium trade. Also, the USA had a big share of the opium market in China and competed with the British.
      The opium trade existed in China before either the USA or BE streamlined the operation.
      India never existed until the BE as empires go the moguls were worse in the now-defined borders of the British creation state of India

    Ireland was Britain's first colony it was literally the blue print for the America's. The first British joint stock colony started in Ireland in 1568 headed by Warham St Leger and Richard Grenville in Cork, tracton and Kerricurrihy. The west countrymen got the idea to colonize the new world and the tactics used from their Irish colonies, they would export this idea around the world.

    The British laid the foundation of the sectarian divides in Nigeria
    North vs South,
    Christians vs Muslims
    Igbos vs Northerners
    Majority vs Minorities
    Fulanis vs non-Fulanis
    Boko Haram etc
    and when these divisions they created led to a civil war in the 1960s, the UK supported a military dictatorship which it saw more favorable to protect its "interests" and all the war crimes (including claims of genocide) swept under the carpet. Over 2 million people were victims of that war and she never takes any responsiblity for that.
    Nigeria is still plagued with these colonial divisions hardened by the civil war. The result of that is that the institutions had virtually collapsed, the system itself does not bring the best from the poltiical leadership. This has created more problems for tens of millions of people. The political leadeship in Nigeria is only interested to work for their handlers in the UK and not to the victims of the bad template the UK left behind

    3:The British split Singapore from Malaysia
    4:British enacted the Balfour Declaration which has caused the longest running on going conflict in history
    5:they brought in slaves from common wealth countries, from Jamaica, Africa, Asia you name it
    6:The British occupied India & grew Opium there
    7: British waged two Opium wars against China, in which the British forced unfair treaties onto China
    8: The British colonised many countries,
    9: the British still to this day, like to romanticise about their past glory, in essence glorifying their old British Empire.
    And the late Queen, Elizabeth II, is the epitome of all these bad things the Old British Empire stood for.
    So everytime I see a UK Royal on TV, it makes me wanna puke 🤮🤮🤮🤮. I am so sick & tired of all this romanticising of the late Queen on TV, on all western bs msm. Its rubbish garbage. & Everyone knows it. Everyone knows what the old British Empire was like. This is a very British thing, its so outdated. I even know a lot of British people who dislike the Royals for what they did to all these countries & indigenous people.

In areas of Ireland its native people have become a minority. Ireland is oppressed by an effete, left-wing, privately educated cabal.

      Although not the basis of the conflict surely religion has played a big role? People are still marked out as one side or another as soon as they put on a school uniform. If both sides were the same religion they would have gone to the same schools, worshipped in the same churches, and over centuries there would have been a lot of inter-marraige and so the tribalism would have eroded. People's energies might then have focussed more on the class war like the rest of europe.

    2. The (interest imperialistic country) was far worse than the British.
    3. The Queen had nothing to do with colonisation, she is just a figurehead with no powers.
    4. Oh but we gave so much to our colonies in return such as infrastructure, parliamentary system, democracy bla bla
    5. Britain was the first country to abolish slavery
    6. Move to the US, and then you will know what real racism is.

In April 1940, Udham Singh went on to assassinate Michael O’Dwyer (the ex-Governor of Punjab), shooting him twice point blank during his speech in front of his entire congregation of the ‘East India Associates’ at Claxton Hall in London for retaliation for the events that led to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

    For the record, although most of what he's saying is right (though very poorly articulated because he's old and inarticulate) this dude is the head of probably the single most irrelevant party of the Irish Left which as an already weak force in Ireland. The CPI has barely been able to gather the strength to run for council and national elections, let alone win any for the last 50 years. They don't organise protests or campaigns at all either. The only "force" they had was their youth wing - Connolly Youth Movement - which split from them 3 years ago. Imagine being "outdone" by your own (relatively useless) youth wing? I would call them the laughing stock of the Left but most people don't know they exist. They contribute nothing other than articles nobody ever reads.

    I always thought how these strategies by British worked out so well during their time in India.. they had practiced and perfected then in Ireland. Their tyle in Ireland provided the blueprint and SOP. Dividing people on the basis of religion, language and culture and make them fight among themselves and sneak in take control. They never had resources and numbers to take the smallest of Indian kingdom in a head-on fight. They also used food as a weapon, forced the farmers to grow cash crops instead of food crops and engineered famines when droughts hit by controlling and diverting food supplies. And its also important to know that fsmines happened in the regions where there were revolts agsinst them.. mothers in Bihar used to apply opium to their nipples so thst babies fall a sleep.. i can only imagine the situation.

    Yes, a good point about the monarchy re-enforcing class privilege. Ireland of course was a bit different to the rest of the Empire. It was England's back door from which foreign invasion might come. The first invasion in 1169 was to put an end to the Irish slave trade. The Normans founded nearly every town in Ireland. Let us not forget the huge Irish input into the Empire either. The Butcher of Amritsar, for instance, was Irish

      You make a fair point about the Anglo Irish, who were of course the ruling class of the time. Likewise re. Trinity College. Throughout Europe millions were kicked off the land around that time, a little earlier in England, due to Liberal land reforms. Millions emigrated from Europe to the settler colonies. But without those land reforms would we now all be starving subsistence farmers? History can be a brutal place.

      As with all colonisd countries the English developed a ruling class from the indigenous population as part of their divide and conquer strategy. Every colony had this class established by the English. The people in these classes were "educated" to believe that they were "British" and became part of the colonial regimes. Ireland was the training ground for this process.
      The British colonial armies also contained many soldiers from the colonies including many Irish. The English managed this by giving the poor of these colonies a choice of join the British army or have their families starve.

Even more, the Irish tribe, the Scotti, invaded and colonised what is now known as Scotland, naming the country after themselves. As for the British Empire, the Irish played a massive role, both as soldiers and diplomats, in creating and maintaining the Empire. More genuine history, please, and less anti-British propaganda.
