    PIRA who served through the troubles, spent time in the prisons and went through the peace process are now being abused in the streets for 'selling out'. If you said that 10 years ago...
    What exactly do you mean by 'served'? Those evil bastards were terrorists, they served nobody but themselves.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I think that sentiment could have been applied to all parties concerned.

          The definition of 'terrorist' is made using your personal synopsis. In their domain they are viewed in a more positive light, such as 'freedom fighter' or some such.

          In truth we cannot understand their mindset because of our own beliefs which were drilled into us at a young age.

            Freedom fighters my arse!

            Once a terrorist, always a terrorist, it was bad enough in the early 90's and they have to repeat it all again.

            It's a pointless cause all down to the mistakes of the politically inexperienced nearly 100 years ago,

              Still, on the upside, at least we have learned the lessons of history, and no longer appoint inexperienced toadies and lounge lizards to high political office.

                Utter bollocks. Any organisation prepared to murder innocent civilians, including young children are not 'freedom fighters'.
