To a casual reader, one would assume that there was only one side fighting in the troubles - no provocation by the police ing guiding peacful civil rights marchers through mobs of Loyalist stone throwers, no Trick-or-Treat Massacre, no Dublin bombs, no Monograph bombs to collusion in murder by the RUC and the Loyalists, no Bloody Sunday massacre, fo Bimigham Six or Guildfoers Four fit-ups, no Shankhill Butchers, in fact NONE OF THIS happened ....... !!
It took thirty years to carry out an honest inquiry into the Bloody Sunday Massacre, and even today Members of Parliament are complaining that those found responsible are being harassed and those found guilty remain unpunished.
Sinn Fein
Former Loyalist paramility terrorists have gone unpunished and undisturbed despite their names and crimes being widely known.
Sinn Fein hs become an established political party and is having a degree of success so, prior to the last election, Gerry Adams was accused o collusion with criminals - coincidence, of course!!
S.F's star is still on the rise and those accusations have surfaced again - another coincidence, of course   
Hate monger Ian Paisley died peacefully in his beed despite having inceted and encouraged murder and persecution.
The Trupbles wre a bad time from which no side emerged with clean hands - Republicans, Loyalists or the British army and government.
If peace is to be won and maintained, it's time politicians were stopped from using these events as election fodder
