Guest Observer - composition of the PSNI today is?

"R.G. Sands stood on principle," - What principle? The right to murder his fellow citizens?? Hey Observer take your blindfold off. Tell us all exactly what the result of the Irish Referendum was on use of weapons to gain political ends was.

The PIRA did not disband the Ulster B Specials - The forces of the Crown did that - The Official IRA stood back and applauded that.

Where in your post was the fact that 3500+ were killed and 30,000+ were maimed - Or do they not count in your reckoning you complete and utter Wanker.

By the bye convict ships from Ireland only sailed from Dublin and from Cork - So much for:

"In 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry"

Oh Observer, if you actually look into it after the second convoy of convicts to Australia, you actually stood a better chance of getting there as a convict than as a passenger.

30 years of suffering, bloodshed and grief, for something that was there for the taking right from the start, so much for the "cause". I have got nothing but complete and utter contempt for the likes of Bobby Sands and his ilk - achievements in life, absolutely nothing. I will give him exactly the same respect that the PIRA gave the civilian population of Northern Ireland when planting their bombs.
And if you, or anybody else can't live with that then tough shit.
