How else would they know

Blair was/still is an immensely capable politician who genuinely had the best interests of this country - and further afield - at heart. He did well, over more than 2 terms, but he misjudged the situation with Iraq, pressurised (by himself) to support Bush, whilst hoping until the last second that the UN would come on board too. They didn't. That is all his distractors (like you) now latch on to - for their own reasons - whilst blindly ignoring his achievements.

Adams was a terrorist organiser but smarter than the average but with his cold-blooded steely eye always on the ultimate prize - legitimate political acceptance and power. Almost certainly the British military would have won the fight as they'd deeply infiltrated the IRA and other organisations, but winning by military means is rarely - if ever - successful long term (The Better Angels of our Nature, Steven Pinker), so he made that GFA gamble at the best opportunity, but in full awareness of the associated personal risk to himself from hard-liners.

Boris is a copper-bottomed hypocrite. A contemptible slimeball.

 

[QUOTE="Heat,] Who led you astray? Astray from your type of thinking? Critical Faculties I guess.

I do not support terrorism, or any evil from any side. Sadly you do not see that. I do. I don't imagine for a second you support terrorism or evil from either side. The thing is, tho', you only paint one side as 'bad' as 'wrong' as getting it wrong as being at fault. Anything else is tokenism. [/QUOTE]

 

I do not paint only one side as bad or wrong. I was putting examples of injustice done against the British side, which you and others outside the situation would have highly likely missed.
Reason I did that is mainly because of your Repression remark in an earlier post, which you made against ONE side only, totally ignoring (or being ignorant) of repression, discrimination, and even murder, against that very side.
If you had have said a similar thing about the Nationalist side - let us pretend you said the Irish repressed the Unionists, -
I would have agreed with you, but I would have said it was a one sided statement you had made.[/QUOTE]

Look, Heat - the IRA are deeply loathed by the vast majority of UK citizens for justifiable reasons. Ditto for Adams personally. The UK is largely a CofE (or CofS) country, so give up your campaign to redress any imbalance.

As far as the UK population is concerned 'you' have won the argument. In reality - over there - the other side is winning.

And you - ya ejit - have helped with your vote. No, you didn't know what you voted for in reality. At least not the most obviously likely consequences.

 

Says the ejit who's reading a thread he seemingly doesn't want to

 

Listen pal - this is my thread.

You start yer ain. (And I'll piddle brexit all over it...)

 

Enjoy.

And run this through your mind as you sup that malty pint - this is all about values, what sort of world we want to be in.

 

That's a great line. Who wrote it?

 

That doesn't make sense.

 

Hang on - 'great' and 'twit'?
