Anger at US award for Martin McGuinness's 'military service'

IRA piece of scum.

Be that as it may, if peace is offered and then accepted then you have to move on.

The man is correctly due some recognition for seeking peace and that deserves both recognition and forgiveness.

Trust me when I say there's not a single radical jihadi out there whom I would not shake hands with and forgive if they were to make an earnest commitment to rejecting violence and to making peace with all Muslims, all women, and non-Muslims.

Peace is by far preferable to war. And a peace that ends the killing and that doesn't place one party over another is an honorable peace.

I agree. The Troubles left a pretty deep scar in the Irish psyche.

And moron American narrowbacks, who for decades helped fund the violence over there, do nothing but rip the wounds open over and over again when they get some gullible politician or some extremist fellow traveller (like this asshole SF mayor most likely is) to grant an undeserved award to a some gutless killer who proudly murdered by timer and remote control.

Let us know, Bart, if you feel the same when the left-wing hardcores in charge of San Francisco one day grant the same kind of honour to the PanAm/Lockerbie bombers.

I have a good friend who knew the Reverend Ian Paisley. I mean he really was no better than ole Marty or Jerry Adams... The whole fucking Civil War sucked. UDF, UVA, UFF all no better than the IRA and the PIRA. Its time to turn the page, and move on. I think the south understands that Northern Ireland has no interest in reunification at this time. I am happy that the Irish are no longer killing each other over reunification and God.

I'm glad it's over too. I just get majorly pissed off when some fool, typically an American with zero sense of history or of facts in general, sets off a landmine with a stunt like this. It's bullshit to the core. God knows I'm no fan of Margaret Thatcher but she was goddamn 100% right when she unleashed the SAS to exterminate as many of the bastards as possible by any means necessary.

Know the only thing that makes this semi-tolerable? The fact that the fucking IRA and all those other scum terrorist groups over there LOST. The north is still part of the UK and probably always will be. Under the peace agreements the Catholics got the civil rights protections they always deserved, policing in Ulster was changed so the cops would no longer be a bully arm of the Protestants only, and Sinn Fein gets to seat representatives in Parliament. And that's all. No unification of north and south happened or will ever happen, and that means they crapped out on their primary goal that was first enunciated back in 1916.

I meant what I said.

Sometime in the next ten years or so the European Union will be a national government with a much stronger military and if they decide to annex Northern Ireland and Gibraltar then I doubt the UK will be able to do too much about it.

I'll take the reality from those over there who lived through it, instead of those living as far away as possible from it but still think there was some kind of glory to be found in that rotten little war.

From the Rattle & Hum tour, filmed the day of the Enniskillen bombing in 1987, key part at 3:47.



NO MORE

I prefer:


Written in Protest of the IRA's bombing in Warrington in 1993 that killed two children (Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry). They were the only fatalities of the bombings.

Sometime in the next ten years or so the European Union will be a national government with a much stronger military and if they decide to annex Northern Ireland and Gibraltar then I doubt the UK will be able to do too much about it.
The EU doesn't want a pack of pissed off Prots playing with explosives again....

And why does everyone call the City "Derry"? It's fucking Londonderry.

It's a nickname.

Sorta like how some folks call San Francisco San Francesspool.

Also, if you're Irish then avoiding mentioning might be a thing for you.

My Family was from Belfast, Ulster. So it's Londonderry. Since the Good Friday Accords that childish bullshit should have been put to bed.
