I find it quite odd on reflection how we were always taught in school that our neutrality was something to be very proud of, almost as if was the ultimate bravery, I wonder did others have similar experience, was it part of the narrative of history textbooks from the time?
The lads who stood up to Hitler were cowards so?
Neutrality was a very sensible decision.

All he did for the economy was what he was told, alongside pulling his pants down for any MNC that came calling. In fairness, he must have a lovely bottom, because it worked.
Unfortunately, his disregard for anything other than MNCās and vulture funds has meant that the majority of Seamus punchclockās wage packet is being transferred from the MNC direct to the property elite who, letās face it, are the new protestant ascendancy, with arguably less morality.

Mo Mowlam - A visionary who was the right person at the right time. Acted with courage and conviction.
David Trimble - Could infuriate at times but compromised for the greater good when it was needed most. Made me think about Irishness in a different way.
Nelson Mandela - A different class.
