No, I've tried to oppose terrorism at every opportunity. That's why I condemn the provo sectarian murder campaign, the Loyalist murder campaign and the british army if they break the law.
There are increasing fears that George Clooney is being held somewhere in a 'Misery' like situation somewhere in North-East Ireland. He was last seen about a week ago in the company of a woman who witnesses claim looked deranged. Gardai and the PSNI are said to be co-operating in the case........
Hold my hands up! When arguing with Phoenix all logic goes out the window and I say things I don't actually believe, we have this history together, he and me. Please bear that in mind when reading my posts. What I say to Witty represents my real position.
Yes indeed you can have an Irish passport if you want but that doesn't entitle someone like Phoenix for example to vote in an Irish election. There are plenty of Irish people in the North but also plenty of British people and plenty who consider themselves Northern Irish.
But I've tried to visit loads of times witty, and every time I was driven back by blizzards and deep lying snow. On reaching Sligo I could see the black skies ahead....
Don't mind Pedro! he just wanted to know if you drank much wine and I told him you drink it by the bottle not by the glass!
In fairness to Phoenix I actually don't think you are correct in your first point. I think he genuinely believes that all would be well and the prods would just accept the situation. In doing that he has fallen into the trap that republicans have always fallen into (since 1922 anyway) and that is that the prods are Irish really and all you have to do is remove the scales from their eyes and they will see this. It is a delusion based on wishful thinking. Believing in this delusion means ignoring all the evidence that points to a disastrous outcome, but then Phoenix has never had a problem doing this!
Gov. will come to the end of its term with an unemployment rate of about 7.5% and healthy economic growth.. That would have been unthinkable not so many years' ago.
Nor in our children's lifetimes as it will take generations for the bitterness to die away.. Ironically the IRA terror campaign set back the cause of a united Ireland by generations.
A lot of catholics found themselves on the 'wrong side of the line' when the border was drawn up. People forget that a lot of prods also found themselves on the wrong side of the line in reverse. Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan had large prod minorities who may have felt the same way that catholics in the six counties felt! Also there was a large prod minority in Dublin, whose numbers dwindled after 1922. Of course the prod minority here didn't suffer the way the catholic minority in the North did, no doubt about that.
The border had to be put somewhere however as there were two nations on the one island and borders are put between nations.
