      It is kind of strange to me that we allowed our Nazi party to continue in politics once they rebranded?

      On a more amusing note, could you imagine Simon Harris doing something similar to this today?

      Interestingly, that’s my Great Great Uncle on the far right..

      >Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco
      Joined Hitler and Mussolini too
      Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers
      Helped O’Duffy to enlist his crew

      Just FYI Blueshirts had fallen apart by 1936, this would have been made up National Corporate Party aka Greenshirts followers.

      Funny enough the NCP had policies of worker rights, profit sharing, minimum wage, 40 hour work week and 65 year old pension.

      The Blueshirts had nothing to do with the Spanish Civil War. They dissolved before the Spanish Civil War started.
      O’Duffy had been forced out of his role as Fine Gael’s President in 1934 and he formed a new party, the National Corporate Party in 1935 and went to Spain in 1936.

      I can’t stand Fine Gael but attempting to link them to Franco is ridiculous. Especially as the IRA was allied with the Nazis during WWII.

      The same cunt offered Irish men to Hitler to fight on the eastern front. Obviously, his reputation had preceded him, and his offer was declined. May he rot for eternity
