Well, you can read the British Army and the Loyalist Paramilitaries as one organisation, as far as I'm concerned, like the boys who didn't bother to take off their uniforms before they killed Fran O'Toole and the Miami Showband.

Maybe Teribus could give us a little insight into collusion (a practice that he agrees with) as it appeared to him

I salute the IRA, Teribus!

They performed a necessary function in my growing up. They were the only voice the Nationalist had that would be listened to eventually, and as it has been proved here that the average Brit is anti-Irish, and has been since time immemorial, you would have thought that that kind of attitude would have gone a long way in explaining the woes the English people have suffered because of the intransigence of their leaders.

Do you know what the trouble with 'Brits' are?
They confuse their rascism and superiority complexes for self-righteousness.
And like America, who or what gave you the right to act as guardian of the World's morals.
Orther people don't always see things they way you lot do.
It doesn't make you right, however.

Interesting that Teribus should think that England have been trying to get rid of Ireland for 130 years or so, only that the Irish were too 'thick' to get their respective arses in order to rise to the occasion.

That is the trouble with revisionist thinking.

People who bomb shopping centers, commit 'atrocities' in the name of a cause, would much prefer to discuss that Cause, than to kill for it. After all, volunteers are prepared to lay down their life if necessary in the furtherance of that Cause
Revisionist thinking would have all Irish people being born with a gun in their hands. Not so.

Musical instruments and scholarly tomes, yes.

Freedom fighters are fighting for some form of freedom, in the normal scheme of things, and by definition against some form of tyranny.

Stop trying to be the guardian, Teribus. Because the guardians have been proven to be worse scum than the people they have fired that epithet at.

You reap what you sow, eh?

Are there any Christians around here that can explain the philosophy of that statement to you, Teribus?
'Karma' is another good one.

The attitude of the British Establishment has never taken into account the repercussions on it's citizens. They are the present day 'cannon fodder', and are always good for scoring political points with.

No more no less.

Wise up to your leaders, folks.
