I started this thread just to voice my utter shock and horror at how these highly trained men in uniform could act in such a manner.

Sadly then it got somewhat twisted around towards the Iriah Republican army. And then insult after insult towards me. Please don't allow guilt to visit you at a later stage over your remarks, I forgive you.

Ladies and gentleman, and you too Teribus, Why must you attempt to cast such a dark shadow over members of the PIRA ? they are actually a fine bunch of chaps once you get to know them. I once would have considered myself an authoritarian on the movement, sadly tonight this sits in doubt. We have heard the voices of reason, the voices of ex members of the crown forces and the contributions of so many important people. I have even said sorry to Keith, without reply may I add.

So many of you are right in what you say. I often told those involved in such deeds,You won't stop this until you put somebodies eye out. Well I suppose I can't hide my admiration for those hero's that fought for the rights of Irish People, and I can't hide the fact that I am a Republican, nor can I hide my pleasure that it get's up so many British noses.

So Ladies and Gentleman, and you to Teribus, I really feel we ought to return to the point in question, Has the world now seen the British army at their best !
