The Long War Sheet - Republican Publication Extract: The Free State forces are now in exactly the same positions the British Enemy were before the truce. The reports which we publish in the issue go to show us how far they have gone in England's path. The machinery is the same; the lying propaganda; the midnight terrorism; the murder of prisoners of war: There are England's methods. These are England's weapons. But now even the English have begun to realise that the Free State attempt to destroy the Republic has failed.
