So the evil they committed is outweighed by the (possible) good they’ve done recently?
Why do I find it hard to care
Not exactly, but what I mean is it’s better that they are part of the peace process than still involved in, or making excuses for, terrorism. If McGuinness or Adams or any of their loyalist equivalents get shot by new ultra extremists on their own sides, Northern Ireland will erupt into civil war.
Intimidation and brute force is a very effective way of destroying a peaceful society. Look at how the Taleban are now gaining strength in Pakistan. We can’t let that happen again in Northern Ireland.
more CCTV’s what is this big brother? where is joe publics privacy, we are da most film countrey in da world. disgustin.
Haha! I knew someone would just reply to the title of the topic without viewing the link. :lol:
Arguably, whatever their past histories, these two men have probably prevented a lot of killings in the last ten years plus by becoming part of the peace process. Same goes for any of the loyalist former extremists who gave peace a chance.
Health and safety and risk-averseness are good up to a point. But you often hear of ridiculous health and safety rules in some instances, but glaring gaps in others.
Like it’s illegal to leave a child under 14 alone at home, whereas it’s perfectly legal to allow a child of 6 or even younger to cycle into town on their own along a main road.
Although it’s really wierd, if they’re both happy I don’t think it’s really anyone else’s business. The daughter is very attractive and the mother doesn’t look bad, even if they are a bit barbie-ish.
I remember where I used to live there was a gay man in the mid 1970’s who had cosmetic surgery to look like David Bowie – with strikingly successful results. This was during Bowie’s spiky orange hair Aladdin Sane era. But it beats me why anyone would want to do such a thing.
I’m just wondering how much it would cost for me to be made to look like John McCririck!
The recession is going to get a lot worse and the property market will cave in after its current fight-back and it will be like the worst of the Callaghan years and the worst of the Thatcher years rolled together. If you think it’s bad now, wait 12 months.
I like ‘Land of Hope and Glory’, although I think it should be the new British national anthem, while Jerusalem would be more suitable as an English one.
It’s about time we ditched the dreary and vacuous anthem which requests a fictitious deity to save a hereditary monarch! It also has a verse that is thoroughly insulting to the Scots. It’s also true that Flower of Scotland, the Scottish national anthem, has a verse that is equally insulting to the English.

Further evidence of my theory posted above, fresh from the BBC News website – Tory MP Damien Green says he was told by police he could face life imprisonment if convicted of leaking government secret.
Sadly missed, like others of his era like Humphrey Lyttleton.
With all this fuss being made by the English, Scots and Welsh, what about people like me, the silent majority, the BRITISH? Let’s hear it for BRITAIN!!!
