Dunno guest above.

Without bothering to answer the above Tir (C) there is much that has gone on that I can not agree with and would hope (and believe) woould have remained true to my own beliefs regardless of nation, provocation, etc.

But.

I don't think the people of England, Scotland, and Wales are fully aware of the dirty tricks of their own Governments down through the years; both in Ireland and in England.

I could not argue against that.

Probably the biggest crime (outside being misled) that we English have had is apathy in terms of not looking furter and not asking further. While I would hardly feel that crime sufficient enough to get blown to bits in a pub over, we perhaps have not listened strongly enough to the Irish case?
