I'm guessing they just studied the Ladybird book.

From Cromwell, A Ladybird book:

Cromwell was also a good man. He was deeply religious, and neither greedy nor - except in Ireland - cruel. He was a good father to his children and the friend of all honest men.

It is a blot on the history of our country that when Charles II returned, Cromwell'sbody was taken from the tomb and his head set upon a pike for all to see. It was a mean

To all my American (and other) friends raving about how "educational" Mayor Mamdani's St. Patrick's Day message was:

Someone who has confused the Plantation of Ulster with "plantations in Ireland" is not, in fact, in a position to teach you anything about Irish history.

A great @scalzi.com Christmas haul. Plenty of reading to keep me going!

Never not at it. Zero respect for the idea of Ireland as an independent nation.

Some British people on Reddit who think Ireland should have remained in the UK, or should join a federal union with them. Possibly trolls, or possibly just this offensively ignorant.
