Gerry Adams arrested...

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Agreed. BTW, NI is a fantastic place to visit, Belfast a brilliant night out. If uou can Get someone to take you to some of the streets and pubs with 'history', quite a unique experience....

Sounds like a laugh a minute,I hear the kneecappers arms up the shankill road does great live music every other Thursday.

Haven't read the whole thread but Adams is not protected under any Amnesty agreement unlike some other members of the IRA.

Music to march to!

Ok, I'll concede anyone with any intelligence will struggle to see "good guys" from the troubles or indeed any sectarian or terror-fought conflict (except Americans - they MUST have good and bad guys in everything).
Personally, I am in favour of a united Ireland and so politically fall on non-Brit side of the argument, despite being English.

I believe in a united Ireland too, we should take back the south and bring it back into the UK. I am of course kidding.

What's your point here? 60% of that total were killed by republicans is what I said....

It always amazes me how much focus we place on the nasty f*ckers in the IRA (and I'm not denying they were exactly that), when there were people who were every bit as bad, if not worse, in the UDA/UVF and so on. They get about 1% of the media attention despite the fact that twice as many innocent Catholics were slaughtered than Protestants.

That's because more than a few of their members were part of supposed legitimate organisations. Like the RUC.

It's easier to cover up a crime when those investigating are on your side.

Unfortunately there are examples of Police and military on both sides of the border colluding with various paramilitary organisations.

About ****ing time and that smiling butcher McGuinnes should be too, the most contemptuous pair of vile scumbags to ever walk our Planet.

It goes higher than that. Charles Haughey was heavily involved in gun-running for the IRA whilst finance minister in the Republic.

I lost 2 relatives in 1972 when they planted a bomb in Aldershot ,i personally can never forgive the murdering IRA scum .Adams was at the top would love to see him served up for a very long time.

 

[mikeyjh]

Has he?

He may not deny association, but Gibseagull is correct , he has always denied membership of the IRA
