Trouble at Republican mill?
Barney Rowan believes that although there is trouble within the IRA it is not on the scale reported at the weekend. He spoke to one insider: "I would have heard. "I've heard nothing. (Are there) internal problems? Yes. Splits? No. People leaving? Yes. Anger? Yes."

I see little point in engaging in intellectual argument with Terrorists or their supporters on whatever "side" you think you're on because none of you are on my side or the side of the majority of real people.You have no right to impose your will on me using your violence or threats thereof and no right to stump the growth and future of my country by holding me to ransom in this way.


So in the words of the late great Father Ted when dealing with the Casanova Milkman Pat Mustard "FECK OFF"

Your pomposity is insufferable DS. G'way back to your debating society where no doubt you will find other ``real people'' to agree with you.
