Pure rubbish, Keith. Had there not been an armed struggle bringing light to the plight of the Catholic in the North of Ireland, the same old gerrymandered crap would have gone on and on. Had not the struggle gone on, there would have been nothing to draw the world's attention to the collusion between Crown forces, RUC, and the Orange militias. What dear old England wanted was for the Irish to be nice wee lads and lasses and let her exercise her mandate from God over their lives, property and country like good little colonials.

And no one has told lies to discredit you, but rather the policies of your government. Your use of this tactic also discredits your arguments. You attempt to claim victim status, and thereby shift the focus. The focus must remain with the root of all the troubles.

Your approach shows how disengenous your arguments are.
