Have you ever heard of the IRA? The Irish Republican Army. I was also a little left out with the term, IPLA, but I believe it is the Irish People's Liberation Army, and that is the group that Flynn is still in and that Johnny used to be in. The IRA and IPLA want to unite Northern Ireland with the rest of Ireland. It is one of the world's longest ethnic conflicts. Hence the hatred of the English by Flynn.
The whole Rasta thing...Brixton is where many Yardies (Jamaican immigrants) settled when they moved to England, so Brixton is kind of like mini-Jamaica. Hope that helps.
I'm not Irish, and only know a little bit about the situation. Someone else is glad to inform me and jscheible more about the plot.
