"Keith will provide evidence"
Actually Al, he has long since ceased providing evidence,
His "real historians who sold their books in "real bookshops" have ling ridden off into the sunset and his "expert witnesses" who back up his racist claims have returned to the Elysian Fields they were conjured up from - I think his attempting to denigrate entire nations was even too rich for their ichor
Now it's jut unqualified statements and denials
I go along with your analysis of the Irish situation, though I suggest that it's a little more complicated than that.
I think the wisest thing I've read about McGuinness was in the Irish Times - "those of us who were too close to the action to make an unbiased analysis may condemn him but only history can judge him fully, and only then, when all the facts are known.
