"I am by birth a free Commoner of England, and am thereby intailed or intituled unto an equall priviledge with your selfe, or the greatest men in England, unto the freedome and liberty of the Lawes of England."
William Thompson, 14. of December, 1647
Such ignorance from such a "travelled" man - Northern Ireland, according to him, was all ENGLAND'S fault, England was the invading force. Had he bothered to "observe" more deeply he might have noticed the Union flag, or he might have found out that the Black and Tans consisted of, among others, the sweepings from Scottish jails. No wonder people get confused.
