RIP Francis Hughes


40 years ago today, at 5:43pm, Francis Hughes died on a hunger strike in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh after 59 days. He was just 25 years-old.  Today, Northern Ireland is still occupied territory with no plans for England to leave.

Northern Ireland History

I don't think anyone here is surprised by my stance against the British occupation of Ireland.  I don't make it a secret (regardless of the consequences).  Many of you don't really understand the history both past and present regarding this occupation so a few months ago I put together a page on www.sob-wired.com that provides some links and videos that should be able to enlighten most of you to this criminal act.  

Enjoy them and remember their story this St. Patrick's Day.

United Kingdom needs to GTFO

I find it funny that the British occupiers are the ones now rioting in the streets.  Do yourself a favor and end the occupation of Ireland and bring piece to the region.  This is 2013 and England is still trying to be a Kingdom?

An Irish Pub Song

Rebels of the Sacred Heart

St. Patrick's Day

Every year at this time people of all races and countries of origin come together to claim that they are Irish.  They do this by drinking and wearing green shirts with stupid ass slogans on them and puking their guts out in city streets.  Awesome representation of our heritage right?  Ask anybody at the parade who Bobby Sands is or about the riots in 1969 and they will say that he is the inventor of Guinness and the riots were because they ran out of Whiskey.  To them Bloody Sunday is nothing more than a U2 song and not a time where 26 unarmed civilians were murdered in cold blood by English invaders who remain to this day.

Could you imagine the stereotypes that would be played out if we followed the same guidelines with Black History month?
