No kidding. I'm constantly amazed at how completely oblivious so many younger Irish people are about just how bad we had it during the troubles. College age relatives of mine think I'm talking out of my arse when I tell them some of the shit that went on when I was around their age.
Wasn't taught at all when I was at school (Scotland, 90s-2000s) which I imagine is the same around the UK, unfortunately.
