OT: Attack the British soldier at your peril |
Attack the British soldier at your peril

While Ken Loach's new film shows some universal truths about occupying
armies, the bigger issue is the way it has been vilified

History, in the view of Konrad Adenauer, is the sum total of things
that could have been avoided. To others, it is a good excuse for a
scrap. Just such a skirmish has broken out over Ken Loach's film, The
Wind That Shakes the Barley, which deals with the Irish war of
independence and the country's slide into civil conflict.
The movie was the unexpected winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, but
its triumph should have surprised no one. Diehard old lefties such as
Loach and Harold Pinter are much more lionised in Europe than at home.
Even Loach, however, cannot have expected his latest monstering:
'Poisonously anti-British ... Loach leeches from the nation that
nurtured his talent and spits back in its eye ... morally lazy ...
hates this country.'

i agree with free speach, even to the scum that murder woman and kids for thier own political ends. these cowardly scum should have been wiped out years ago,
not be shown as hero's of any sort. and the film maker is a brit hating
ira loving wanker
