McCartney was knighted, he was singing about an MP who died for his beliefs.

I think what angers most people about the IRA is that they were ultimately successful, the people at the service confirm that.Comment

As for success, I see no sign of a United Ireland. There has certainly been progress in civil rights and I don't know whether that could be have been achieved without the terrorist campaign.Comment

People seem to ignore the reasons why the PIRA existed, majorities of populations were denied emancipation through political system rigged on sectarian grounds and when they complained an army ( from what was thought if as a foreign power ) was used to keep the status quo . Chucking about vacuous statements like "There has certainly been progress in civil rights" does nothing to address how tulip it was for people and how tulip it was that they were not given the capability to change how it worked.Comment

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostA united Ireland was and still is the ultimate aim. To this ends the IRA have failed. There is now 'equality' in Northern Ireland, and has been for a generation. Now I'm not daft enough to ever think you'll ever change your opinion. However, I know that people's opinions on this normally are based on the fact either they and/or their parents 'belong' to one side or the other. Is it fair to presume that your parents lived 'in the North' as it would be put?Comment
