The Black and Tans were sent by David Lloyd George, a Welshman. So you should really directing your venom towards Iolo.
For somebody that studied history you don't seem very clued up, on Irish history anyway. I would also suggest that De Valera, an American, did more than his fair share of oppression as well. He was instrumental in having Michael Colins assassinated, allowing the Catholic church to terrorise the populace, treating Irish men that fought against Hitler as criminals and even signing the condolences book at the German embassy in Dublin for Hitler.
Now of course you see the likes of Varadkar and Coveney siding with the EU. This despite only 0.3% of the total goods going over the Irish border. Contrast that with 45% of Irish exports going to the UK. The EU allowed Varadkar to think he was a big man and when they had finished they cast him aside. If there is a no deal, then Ireland will suffer catastrophically as a result with at least half a million unemployed. A fact that until recently hadn't seemed to dawn on the Irish voter, they are woke now though and totally shitting themselves, as well they might.

This is quite a complex topic, you can't explain it on the forum.
