Hi there Divis you certainly do have all the hall marks of at true PIRA man. When faced with a statement about Protestant Farmers being murdered in their fields we get the traditional PIRA flat denial of any such occurence:

"Divis Sweeney - 16 Oct 05 - 05:43 PM
I honestly don't think I have ever read a greater load of cock in my life........
5. Protestant farmers were murdered in their fields. NAME ONE."

Two sources are then provided by - Wolfgang - 18 Oct 05 - 02:56 PM
"Divis, read 'Lost lives' and you'll find names of protestant farmers murdered in the fields.

In an admirable recent article in the New York Review of Books, Fintan O'Toole described the IRA's campaign of communal violence in Northern Ireland over the past quarter-century. Quite apart from well-publicised bombings in Enniskillen or the Shankhill Road, there was a systematic policy of killing only sons of Protestant farmers in western Ulster, a most effective form of ethnic cleansing. (from here. Another source for IRA killing protestant farmers in their fields is 'Lost Lives'."

Divis being a typical PIRA Man now thinks, "Oooops someone (Not a Brit) knows the truth." Someone has some knowledge, so having denied that the events referred to ever happened I will now attempt to bluster my way out of it without even attempting to explain away the downright lie told earlier:
Divis Sweeney - 18 Oct 05 - 03:23 PM
"Many border farmers were members of the RUC or UDR and in earlier cases the RIC."

"Any of those who were considered legitimate targets by the movement were shot because they were members of the British Crown Forces, nothing else."

"Most Protestant border farmers were part time members of the Crown Forces, as were their fathers before them."

So Divis are you trying to tell us that all the farmers, farm labourers, etc, murdered by the PIRA were members of the Crown Forces - careful before you answer, we already appreciate that you will lie at the drop of a hat - it's the norm for Sinn Fein/PIRA Spokesmen.

Wolfgang came up with an interesting figure in relation to the Protestant population of the RoI falling by 70% from 10% at time of Partition (1921) to 3% today. It would be interesting to know the corresponding drop in NI.
