Well said as always Stephen, the Fainne will be the ring that will usurp that awful globalist ring, we can assert ourselves in this, we need to bring all the players to the fore and attack on all fronts to encompass as much of the nation as possible

This is an excellent idea. Make your homes ones in which your native tongue is spoken.

It's too long a paragraph. You need to break it into small bite sizes to increase your readership X 10. Do you want me to do this for you?

Stephen Sutton's avatar

Nah it’s only a short piece. I normally use paragraphs but this is just the one short piece. If that puts people off reading then we are in real trouble.

It is Richard. But I'm also a writer and I'm right about this being too long a paragraph.

You won't get any arguments from me Andrew I'm not well up on grammar and stuff..I used to meet a lady working in Tesco in kildare during the lockdown and she was always praising you.

Totally agree Stephen and it’s part of the reason why we created the IPA(Irishpeoplesassociation.net), to protect the people, language, culture, heritage, music, way of life, peace, prosperity, farming, enterprise, the land, the wildlife, the open market, a new currency, interest free banking.

I'd agree Stephen . I'd love to be able to speak Irish and need to put more work into it but at same time one of the things that used to put me off Irish was the national school teacher talking to the inspector in Irish knowing the rest of us wouldn't understand what there saying. It was that "look at me, I know how to speak Irish an u dont" attitude . Or even worse, the teacher's kids always knew how to speak Irish as a badge of honour and exclusive ness. It's the peoples language but at same time if someone cant speak it they are no less Irish. My go to clip on utube for speaking Irish is Joe Connolly's speech accepting Liam McCarthy cup in Croke Park in 1980 I think . It would make the hairs grow on the back of ur neck. Fukn unreal it was and would make u think, I want to be able to do that. The other characteristics I hope Irish people never lose is the craic , the empathy, the soul fullness we have as a people. Sadly I think the more modern and so called progressive we get the more we are losing that. Those characteristics mark us out as a people. The only down side of those qualities is they can sometimes come across as weakness that the woke brigade of EU, wef, Government, media can take advantage of to get their way.

That’s why I’m suggesting we reclaim it and take it back from the institutions on our own terms. I hated it in school too, but that’s because we were taught to hate it.
