      Leftists want all symbols of British oppression in Ireland to be torn down so that they can pretend that the Irish were never oppressed. They should be preserved as a reminder of what our forefathers suffered and bled to free themselves of.

    As an Irish taxpayer I would not like to see a single cent of my money spent saving these structures. They are symbols of British colonialism, built often using money generated through slavery and exploitation. The 600 acre site would be much better utilised for local amenities and services, rather than whistle stop tours for Dublin tourists and overpriced coffee wagons!

      Would you knock down the Colosseum or the Egyptian pyramids because they were built by slaves? It would be great to preserve all of the buildings like this in Ireland. They will generate an income for the descendants of the victims of British colonialism. They will not celebrate the empire but ensure we understand it.

    • @baroldable
      @baroldable Před 7 dny +1

      To let something like this fall (or worse still to burn it) is an insult to the craftspeople who made it. It would also destroy the history that you seem to love to cling too! As what happened here is the last century, hundreds of items of history - your Irish/British history - were destroyed by this type of radical ranting and would be a disrespect to previous generations. Getting “rid” of it would never dissolve your bitterness, resentment and anger. Those traits would be bred into you and as such require breeding out in order for future generations to move on.
