Tá brón orm d'Albain. Neamhspleáchas ó Shasana! Alba gu bàth, agus Érinn go brách!

(I am sad for Scotland. Independence from England! Scotland forever, and Ireland forever!)

The UK government has now said Scotland cannot hold a referendum to gain independence without "approval" from Westminster. Did y'all get "approval" from Alba, Cymru, and Éire to forcefully occupy their lands, kill their people, and try to erase their culture and language? Did y'all get "approval" to steal the Crown Jewels from Dunnottar Castle? Did y'all get "approval" to displace thousands of Irish and cause one of the largest diasporas in the 19th century?

I have tried so, so bloody hard to not let the history between Ireland and England color my view of current day England, but when they pull shit like this it's hard to not take it personally. When Scots, Gaeilge, Gaelic, and Cymraeg are all dying languages that were forcefully beaten out of children, it's hard not to take it personally.

I hope one day i reach a point in my life where I never have to speak this disgusting language of my family's oppressors and that i can live in a whole, reunited Éire and speak the mother tongue my family spoke for generations.

I hate the UK government with a burning passion. If Alba wants independence, then trust me, she will get it. And so will Cymru and Éire and then what will you do? Póg mo thóin!

It's absolutely fascinating to me the differences in online culture, especially in the wake of Her Imperial Oppresor's death.

Facebook: buys into the narrative, expressing fake, surface level sympathy and admiration.

Twitter: Hedging. Basically "I know she was an imperial oppressor, but it's still sad and I would never take joy in someone's death but I understand what...um...whatever those other countries are going thru so I guess I can be a little joyful but not really...maybe?"

Tumblr: EAT HER FUCKING CORPSE AND BURN THE EMPIRE! VICTORY! VICTORY IS OURS!

Eamon de Valera, a leader of the Irish independence movement, delivered an address to a crowd estimated at 40,000 at the Polo Grounds late in 1920. The speech was a memorial in honor of Terence MacSwiney, the Lord Mayor of Cork, who had died in a British prison after a 74-day hunger strike in October.

#OTD in 1921 – The Dáil votes to appoint plenipotentiaries to negotiate with Britain regarding Ireland’s independence.

In what would turn out to be a momentous decision, de Valera opted NOT to be one of the negotiators stating that the Irish parliament “recognised themselves but no one else did. He really believed it was vital at this stage that the symbol of the Republic should be kept untouched and that it should not be compromised in any sense by any arrangements which it might be necessary for our…
