That is about it Mick. Loyalists have murdered 34 people since 1998 and it never gets a mention. Can you imagine me coming here and republicans still knocking the odd loyalist off ? Hardened republicans were not easy to convince about this new way forward, believe me the split that took place shattered life long friendships. All we get on local television is the DUP going on about old chapters from the bible and the fire that God will send down upon the followers of Rome. I don't follow Rome so where do I stand ? What you have to remember is, the DUP live in the past, they go on about the B'Specials, UDR and RUC. These groups were anti catholic and the British government disbanded ALL of them. The DUP keep telling us about the legacy of unionists in a protestant parliment 50 years ago. Christ we don't need reminded of that ! They go on about "popery" and "popish ways" it's like listening to some preacher in the American deep south about coloured guys. Yes it's easy for some members here to cut the shite out of me about past events, but what more can republicans give ? Believe me the purse is empty.
