I was explaining to young lad where phrase “peelers” came from so I googled this. It’s outrageous. It’s like saying Hitler got the trains to run on time. No wonder the Brits are the way they are when this is what they are taught and told.

Jaysus that’s mad

I think he sponsored the first police.
I don’t think peelers is a derogatory term at all. I quite like it.
He was one of the great human beings.
It’s only in Tory Britain that his reputation would be so sidelined.

Peelers here, bobbies in tanland.

What about cawwwwwwwwwwps?

He presided during the deaths of over a million people during the Famine.

I wasn’t aware of that, only his reforming. They obviously left a few bits out.

He let Cameron know what he was at by texting him on the plane when he was on his way :rofl:
Cameron must have hit the roof

That was my point. That they ignore a large part of their history and the general population don’t learn it in school and are surprised they are then not that well liked as a nation.

I was educated 100% in Ireland though and was aware of him only as the police originator prior to reading an obvious biased brief bio over here a few years back.

We were in roxboro last week (Mr price wyb).

Looks time to bulldoze the centre and start again.

A truly horrible experience. There are gulags in Siberia with better facilities.
