I'm asking this here because there appears to a few blokes who take an interest in the subject.

I'm afraid it's about the McCartney murder

The offer, that was widely reported, from the IRA to deal with the problem in, shall we say, an unorthodox way, baffles me.

Was it a lie, a bletherin idiot inside the IRA, or a deeply calculated move.

Seriously, what's the opinion.

If this has been cleared up in the general press, then I apologise but I didn't see it.
