I saw a poster for the film at Kings Cross underground on the way to work. I stopped and looked at... What a man he is. Looking forward to watching it.

Very educational, thanks for posting this as I knew nothing of Roger Casement prior. After reading his speech from the Dock at the end of his trail and the business about him being "hanged by a comma", I was only thankful that I live in a country run by Cheney and "W" where nothing like this could ever happen.


It still reads as a remarkably eloquent legal argument, even today. Educated Irishmen were the British Empire's worst nightmare.


"The government of Ireland by England rests on restraint, and not on law; and since it demands no love, it can evoke no loyalty..."

Casement spent most of his career trying to remedy injustice in far-flung outposts of the Empire. It would be remiss of him not to notice that Home Rule was dragging its feet a bit closer to home.


So he was trying to change (or at least fight) the system from with him ?

Did he literally take part in the fighting, or was he basically "the man behind" ?

Nah, we don´t ... as an Irishman he´s not entitled to be called "Sir". It´s the same with Bob Geldof. Normally no Irishman would be sad about this, I guess, but I´m not sure with those two. :roll:


They hanged Sir Roger Casement, one of the Empire's great humanitarians and reformers. It was the last time an Irishman took the honour seriously.

Martin McDonagh has seen it. He tells me there is quite a funny bit where Joe says something like "I quit drinking. The very next day I had a phone call from The Pogues.................."
