There’s people involved in Sinn Fein who were involved in murder and covering up child sex abuse. Only 25 years ago they were blowing up and shooting people who disagreed with them
The virtue signalling in this thread is appalling. Some of the Ira deeds were depraved alright, but the British army were and are a direct arm of a so called civilised state, and, as such, are more shocking in many ways. They were horrific times, and may and her ilk have zero qualms about exposing innocent people to that risk again.
Anyhow, these arguments are unwinnable and, in truth, pointless.
@johnnysachs merely expressed his disgust on the murders carried out by the British state in regards to Ballymurphy — you then had a load of British apologists jump in and move the goal posts a million miles from the original point.
You’d truly be embarrassed to be Irish at times when you see how severe the spineless / servile attitude has been ingrained in people’s minds over the years.
I thought the final word here was actually petard and I haven’t the time or inclination to ascertain if retardness is in fact a noun. Rejig the phrase there when you get time, I’d imagine you can make it fit.

I imagine there’s a few posters here who’d back her up.
If you’re a forum poster who reads this and think I’m aiming this remark at you, I very likely am.
