I don't think any of us doubted the held on suspicion situations, Divis. We know it did go on. Alisons statement was that a woman in Manchester was arrested because her neighbours thought she her accent was suspicious. In fact she was Scottish. I doubt that even the Manchester police would be so stupid but I did give Alison the opportunity to provide proof of her statement. Hope that clears it up and bear in mind the idea in this thread was to determine if the English were anti-Irish. Such heresay and potential falacies do not realy help anyone.
