Agnosticism IS the most dishonest position

[Pat Mustard]

So... you're aware, then, of a one Mr Cromwell and his actions?

For those 'Closer to the events' please correct me.

I would think his innitial actions would be the correct 'Beginning' of the events in northern ireland. Or why there even 'Is' a Northern ireland.

Not at work.

Actually the problems in the north are a mite older than Billy the Butcher. Their direct primary cause was the Ulster Plantations of 1607, under James VI & I. Billy the Butcher casued separate problems endemic to the whole of Ireland, largely by the endemic economic destruction caused by his war in Ireland and the attendant mass murder of the Irish and by the submitting the rule of the country directly to the whim of Westminster.
