That was an excellent listen, I’m 64 from Manchester and remember as a kid old men relating stories from the British side of the conflict, in particular it being a hellish time not knowing who was going to pull a gun on you anytime.

Very interesting stuff. I'm extremely fascinated by the 1916 rebellion , the war of independence, the civil war and then the troubles 40 or so years later

Historical Irish history that kids were taught in Irish primary schools for the past 150 years is to a very large extent, a British and west brit distortion of reality. The Irish Government, Catholic Church and academia were all complicit in revising the real historical record of Irish history.

You can tell the historians biases by their intonations and the way the talk, no matter what their viewpoint. Adds an extra fascination to it.

I came across someone with last name Lawless. Does it have some connection with the Black and Tan ?

Terrorists around the world still don’t understand why certain things are war and others are just senseless destruction, and it’s not based on how just the cause is. Don’t destroy people and things for what their symbolic value is. War is literal.
