"I would be interested to know which of my views stated here or elsewhere you disagree with."

I disagree with your general bias, although do respect your opinion of course.

I've said before and I'll say again that in Britain we are simply not taught about the actions that took place during the days of Empire and the consequences of it. We've spent so long on the arse end of a well-oiled propaganda machine our ability as a society to understand the context and depth of feeling amongst Irish Republicans and Loyalists is virtually nil, unless you actively go out and seek some answers.

What I do dislike is some of the absolutism displayed by people who don't live in the Isles, let alone Ireland. We should be listening to the people who live there regardless of which side they are from and attempt to understand. The reason I believe the peace process will work is that there are ordinary people in the North who are willing to do that at a personal level, and that takes some courage. In years to come their efforts will pay dividends - I hope.
