Ian Paisley, for his part (and by their silence, the vast majority of the British Public) wants us to be defenceless once again

Tiocfaidh, how on earth can you say things like that and in the same post put Where the problem occurs is where uninformed statements that tend to trivialise our situation

I'm sorry but the 'vast majority of the british public' does NOT want you to be defenceless. It is uninformed statements like that that not only trivialise the situation but set people against you, whether they agree with you in the main or not!

I am also astounded that anyone so obviously literate and intelligent in other ways can have "the vast majority of the British Public wants us to be defenceless" and "I have no doubt that public opinion in Britain would have been behind the continuing Civil Rights movement" just 14 lines away from each other. I will put it down to the heat of the argument.

I am completely at a loss as to whether you are saying the British Public are with you or against you. I can assure you that everyone I know is highly supportive of the nationalist views, if not always the methods of making them known. Who on earth is this 'majority of the British Public' anyway? Those who voted for this government? (36%) Those who voted for the Conservatives? (37%) The remainder? (27%)

Are ALL memebrs of one or more of those groups for you or against you? Or is it only part of them? I am honestly not being pedantic or purposely dense. I realy don't know what you think of us. Are we the honest and open people from the working class neighbourhoods? Or are we the demonised imperialistic warmongers that want you to be defenceless?

What would you have this mythical vast majority do to show our support?

Cheers
