"Let me tell you something…

I’ve had enough of Irish-Americans who haven’t been back to their country in 20 or 30 years come up to me and talk about the resistance, the revolution back home and the glory of the revolution and the glory of dying for the revolution.

F*** the revolution!

They don’t talk about the glory of killing for the revolution.

What’s the glory of taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and children?

Where’s the glory in that?

Where’s the glory in bombing a remembrance day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day?

Where’s the glory in that?

To leave them dying, or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of a revolution that the majority of the people in my country don’t want?"
