Even you're not that thick to notice a certain anniversary just passed,but then again you'd never hear a bad word said against Churchill http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31649858 ps 350,000 turned up but not for the reasons you mentioned!
Really? Unsung Heroes – Conscientious Objectors of WW1 http://peaceandjustice.org.uk/newsl...unsung-heroes-conscientious-objectors-of-ww1/
No one in your OP or on this thread called them heroes. Well done for being so ****ing desperate you managed to find some weird hippy site that did
You said no one called them Heroes, try Googling Concientous Objectors - Heroes and you will get lots of hits https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=C...-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=NgdAVf38Dsz5aIyqgeAE ...and anyhoo, the OP was a general view, including the past few years, not only of the recent controversies or indeed the article in question. I think it was pretty clear what my own views were regarding the subject in general, and knowing a debate on a GC board tends to deviate I think its more than fair to say there are plenty of people who have called them heroes. I personally don't think they are, but then as I've said on numerous occasions, just because a serviceman goes to war does not make him/her a Hero.
There was a few, poverty,the promise of Home Rule and to assist in the 'Freedom of small nations' as we were one but ended up getting sold a pup!
You did get Home Rule eventually but it was a few decades too late. The Irish Free State was a good idea but it needed to be a united Ireland, not a divided one with some counties staying in the UK.
Very wisely made his selection from the yellow end of the colour scheme. No one would have believed a set of perfect pearly whites.
