'Peaky Blinders': Season 5 might see Thomas Shelby go back to his hometown allies, the Irish Republican Army

Thomas Shelby is never a part of anything but business, however, he has maintained his loyalty with the IRA for a considerably long time
PUBLISHED MAR 21, 2019

Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy), the patriarch of the Shelby family and 'Peaky Blinders' wouldn't have been able to keep his hold on Small Heath had it not been for the Irish Republican Army (IRA). Coming from creator Steven Knight, BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders' has not only brought up the tumultuous history of gang wars in an Inter-War Britain, but has also considered several other issues such as the discrimination against the Irish, the arms race, and other issues, in order to tell the story of 'Peaky Blinders'. However, the Irish and their history in Britain plays a crucial role in the series since Thomas and his men are originally Irish people who migrated to Britain after The Great War.
