The veil of censorship that the European Union is using to shroud the violent civil unrest that is engulfing its member states was lifted recently with the news that African immigrants were running riot on the streets of Dublin, Ireland terrorising workers and shoppers.
What is remarkable about this outbreak of violence by African invaders is the fact that the history of Ireland is one of a constant bloody struggle for self-rule from the British invaders of centuries ago.
The Irish struggle for independence is too complex for an article such as this but needless to say thousands of patriots made the ultimate sacrifice engaging in guerrilla warfare against the British army and police. Thousands more died during the Irish Civil War which preceded the formation of the independent Irish Republic in 1922.
That wasn’t the end of the violent struggle however since the six counties that made up the province of Ulster remains part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to this day.
