Michael Feeney is becoming an M-MBE for organising a war park that is called, not surprisingly, a ‘peace’ park.

It is a celebration of those who killed people struggling for their freedom against imperialism and colonialism. The only qualification the killers meet is having been born in Ireland. Feeney's Member of the British Empire (MBE) medal also states, 'For God and the Empire.' ... read full story / add a comment
