Funny as I think the threads are, I suffer no delusions as to the "balance" of the parody as to the Troubles. I do find this to be a hilarious parody of the Irish and Irish republicans by someone who claims to be a unionist. Just because a few of the more notorious loyalist characters (Paisley, Sammy Wilson, et al) are included for color and contrast, doesn't make it balanced. Anyone who believes this is a parody of all parties in the north is mistaken.

But that said, I really don't want to diminish the work someone put into it, because it is a very good parody. Now if they could parody the British in general, and British folkies in particular half as well, I'd be a true admirer. As it is, I got a good laugh.
