Subject: RE: BS: NI Police raid Sinn Fein offices, homes
And isn't that why it became the *Provisional* IRA? - beginning as a spinoff or splinter group in its own time, splitting off from those somewhere-down-south boys of the old brigade? / Speaking of which, I second the "now let's get back to music" motion; and accordingly, inspired by the above thought "Blame the Institutions, blame the police and blame the British Army" -

Captain Healey went away and his wife got in the family way
And the only words that she could say was "Blame the British Army"

Too ra loo ra loo ra loo, I've made me mind up what to do
I'm working my ticket home to you, and lave the British Army.

(No offense meant, Ireland. Old barracks song, the blurb I found said. Granted, the Wolfetones did record it -- before they were Decommissioned -- but then, they didn't use the verb-form "lave". :)
