Hopefully this time everyone has had enough blood letting and will get on with life. Although the Tories have really fucked up with Brexit not so much in that EU didn't require a severe shaking up, but to exit may ruin their little GB of England Scotland Wales and Norn Iron.

The intricacies did not interest them and certainly they saw no plausible distinction given that Joe Cahill himself had been involved with the IRA's Belfast Brigade since the late 30's...and even the Vatican gave him a hand escaping the nooseSteve Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670990166576346966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-26048846100258097692017-03-15T17:21:03.407+00:002017-03-15T17:21:03.407+00:00Steve R

That led to the leadership at that time venturing into left wing constitutional politics and trade unionism. The campaign was a joke. Unfortunately the unionists saw it as an opportunity to hammer the shit out of the civil rights crowd rather than embracing the larry hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837849309156970989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-45108889129366536342017-03-14T21:40:48.151+00:002017-03-14T21:40:48.151+00:00Larry,

The UVF only emerged AFTER the IRA started trouble first, (Gusty Spence never existed) and law abiding unionists in the north NEVER NEVER NEVER resorted to murder to date, but of course that could all change if they become a minority (oops) and democracy is 'imposed' upon the Ulster Protestant People.... am I 'missing something' in larry hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837849309156970989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-52180838327795548412017-03-13T19:47:35.695+00:002017-03-13T19:47:35.695+00:00A subliminal threat of violence from yesterday'...A subliminal threat of violence from yesterday's Democrats becoming tomorrow's terrorist...if you don't do as we say!Niallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013400649117430986noreply@blogger.com
