Speaking to the Irish Times, Wolfe Tones songwriter Brian Warfield said: "What the hell is wrong with IRA? It is the Irish Republican Army. It is the people who put us here and gave us some hope when we had no hope. "There were terrible things that happened on both sides, but don’t give me the argument that it was one-sided. Don’t tell me that you can’t sing Celtic Symphony but you can sing God Save the King? Don’t give the argument that Land of Hope and Glory isn’t a rebel song. It is. “In England they wear poppies and rise them up to sir this and sir that for killing for English expansionism but to kill to gain Ireland’s freedom is a terrible crime.”

The IRA deserve to go down in history as the most successful freedom fighter group to have ever lived; Fidel Castro is awesome but Cuba is suffering under an embargo, Haiti not only threw off the shackles of slavery but crumbled it, but unfortunately they’ve been scarred and scarred by the French and the US for their freedom. The IRA freed Ireland and their nation has prospered, and they deserve to be remembered forever as heroes and a role model for every nation struggling for freedom.
