My sincere apologies Guest Clint for my delay in clarifying your point relating to the builders yard in Balham.

I have made NO remark about, or reference to, a builders yard in Balham, apart from having previously stated that I did:

A. Not know where Balham was.

AND

B. Had no knowledge of any 'builders yard' in Balham.

I also have not got a clue who 'Ralph' is.

I do hope that that answers any questions you have relating to the matter. If not please follow the directions given by Wolfgang and conduct a super search of my posts inputing 'builders yard Balham'

Please revert with result of your research, if however, you do not, I will take it that, apart from what I have stated above, you have found no reference to me ever having mentioned Balham, or a builders yard in Balham in any other post. In which case your question will have been fully answered.

Failing that a thread could be started either on:
- Balham, or
- On things people on this forum were supposed to have said when in actual fact they didn't.

Epona,

To answer your question, in my mail the following statistics were given (Source Malcolm Sutton):

British Security 363
Irish Security 5
Loyalist Paramilitary 1020
not known 80
Republican Paramilitary 2055
TOTAL 3523

Further down the post I refer to - "Divi and his pals", and mention the 2055 figure. I think it would be perfectly clear to anybody that "Divi and his pals" relates to Republican Paramilitaries, I've never heard the man argue any other cause. Nice attempt to nit-pick but it doesn't alter the thrust of the arguement, or the veracity of my contention in the slightest.
