Not suprising view from a British commentator is it?
Personally I would make a far bigger deal out of the War of Independance rather than just the Easter Rising. Can't put my finger on it but I was always a bit uneasy about Padraig Pearse.
It's the War of Independance that won this country it's freedom and did not carry some of the baggage of the Rising, (No mandate from the people arguments etc.)
