Will we get a load of cranks like in America saying: "It was me who dunnit".
How bout a host of lie detector tests?
Yes you did

Yes you knew
No we didn't.
Its farcical.
TIT for TAT

The Union is History
Watch this space!

I hate to spoil the fun but The Union is a reality, for the forseeable future anyway.

Political unification of Ireland will be impossible while the RM exists.

Bertie himself is now an enemy of the peace process (sic) and letting down nationalists and republicans according to Mitchel McLaughlin. What? All of them? Or just those in denial, like Mitchel?

Bertie Basset has joined the ranks of the gods the elite group who are not required to back their allegations up with proof tested by due process.
What an uncivilised clique who think nothing of abandoning the rights and freedom paid for by the life blood of millions who fought against Hitler who spouted similar black propaganda against the Jews, no proof required for Nazis!

Quick Follow up: Unionist and Loyalists should be ultra cautious, Bertie Basset and Tony Liar are now singing off the DUP hymn sheet, beware of the anglo irish horse, they deceived the population before so watch out for judas sheep as well.

Bean Nighe,

We'll see what the IMC say. They get to see the necessary evidence and intelligence.

What would Sinn Fein say if it was loyalists who carried out the Bank Robbery? Would they accept it? I think they would, they are quick enough to blame them for everything else and then deny or refuse comment when the IRA are blamed for anything. (And thats not to say loyalists are innocent!)

You wouldn't expect SF/IRA to accept the statement, as they are not likely to hold their hands up and say "we did it". As this would then have knock on effects - it could influence their electorate in their image and also internationally e.g. their relations with the USA. So it is therefore better to deny it and say the other person is lying.

Also by denying it, it does their ground support good as it goes along with their republican cause/argument. e.g. by saying it was those Brits' in their state of occupation may boost their argument.

It is the best option for any criminal or someone who has been a bad boy or girl when they are caught out in the act.

You can listen to the full Bertie interview on RTE at

Fast-forward to Minute 12 to hear him talk about the IRA and the bank heist.

I love his quote, “Let's be honest, everybody knows that in an investigation, the Chief Constable doesn't start putting out the evidence day by day. I mean, what kind of eejit do people take us for?”
