I just saw the film by Ken Loach and I must say I found it very interesting. it could serve as an explanation as to why america was doomed to failure in Iraq...
If the opposition to the police was based, as most of it was, on wild exaggerations, generally made for political reasons, then of course I can condemn it. It...
I know that the RUC and the PSNI was not an unbiased force. even today I'm sure there are way too many old orange bigots in it but they will be weeded out...
If you mean they were biased against criminal / terror gangs like INLA, IRA, IPLO, etc - that was their job! Any police force would be biased against such. If...
I have some knowledge of the formation and running of the RUC from 1920 onwards. I can assure you that the RUC was a biased and bigoted police force against...
I see willie frazer that son of a bigot himself has admitted that if paisley had done 30 years ago what he did in 2007 there would be a whole lot more innocent...
"Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness said republicans in the Londonderry and north Antrim areas were told by police they were on a list linked to the UVF." it's time...
I think you mean the "loyalist" community - but (apart from your repeated attempts to link constitutional unionism with terrorists) I absolutely agree with...
Interesting ad-hominem attack ("I'm not surprised that you would..."). Perhaps you would like to expand on the "knowledge of the formation and running of the...
it's a fact that loyalists reside within the unionist community in NI. it is loyalists who are courted by both major unionist political parties, the uup and...
Paul, you are a supporter of the orange order. you are a defender of paisley. your opinions are no surprise to me. my knowledge of the immorality and...
You may have a serious point, but it's impossible to tell, because you insist on using terms in a different way to almost everyone else I know. Can you explain...
what do you mean when you use the words loyalist and unionist? pps ... you ... know. ... in ... political ... speaks ... political ... who ... in ... ...
When discussing present-day Northern Ireland, most political discourse and media reportage uses the terms as follows: unionist - in favour of the union with...
The present day UVF is a separate organisation from the UVF of the early 20th century, and is about as similar as the Spanish Inquisition and the present day...
"When discussing present-day Northern Ireland, most political discourse and media reportage uses the terms as follows:" is this another of your famously...
I'm not at all familiar with what the pope says but I'm glad to hear he does not support the ways and means of the spanish inquisition. what I do know is that...
I've no loyalty to the UVF, Patrick - as you should know by now. But if you have evidence that the old UVF in fact about hunting down and murdering Catholic...
I'm not trying to introduce backdated rules here. I'm just suggesting that if we all use more or less the same terms (instead of making up terms, like "old...
... Yes, no, no, and no. Woolfe Tone would have been a republican, as would Henry Joy McCracken - neither of them RC. Gerry Adams would be. The "draft dodger",...
Paul, you are displaying a terrible ignorance of events in NI. it explains why you come across as naive. do you not know of the many murders done in the name...
Ah! Are you talking about the **post** WW1 conflict in Ireland, when republican rebels attacked civilian, economic and military targets, and special constables...
are you familiar with what the RUC did in 1969 in the bogside district of derry? are you familiar with what the UVF/B Specials/RUC did in belfast in the early...
Loyalists "standing behind rows of ruc officers and throwing projectiles at civil rights marchers" is hardly the RUC's fault - any more than Republicans...
I'm referring to the period after the island was partitioned and the people of NI were UK citizens. the state was supposed to be subject to UK laws and the...
the main targets of the UVF terrorism were innocent NI RCs. it did not matter to the UVF if the victim was at all involved in politics. it only mattered to...
so Paul, I notice you are quite happy to have a supporter of the UVF (klinger) in the forum. funny how he can suggest that more murder was needed in NI but I...
I wasn't going to feed his trolling. On the other hand, attacks (even verbally) on other group members are less likely to be ignored. Maybe that's what you're...
