I agree wholeheartedly, Jimmy. However, this is not a court of law. It is some friends having a civilised discusion. It is not even a discussion about who did it as far as I know. It starts as a critisism of anyone having the temerity to even suggest that they felt the PIRA committed the robbery. It goes along the lines of 'unless you have proof you should not say anything'.

This does not, apparantly, apply to everything. Curator goes on to say "The raid was done by forces working to undermine the wonderful work Sinn Fein has done for the nationalist people of Ireland." and "I know only too well what British undercover agents are capable of. And yes we do look on it as the work of someone out to discredit the movement." The 'forces woring to undermine' and 'British undercover agents' are not, it seems, to be awarded the same leeway.

I have no axe to grind about either side entrenched in this struggle. I just wonder why the Curator requires this proof of colusion for one side yet blatantly disregards the burden of proof for the opposition?

Not, it seems to me, the rationale of a fair minded person?
