This week: Gerry Adams court, Veterans briefing members of House of Lords, London meets Dublin in Cork. For veterans and victims, the timing exposes the unresolved imbalance at the heart of legacy.
My grandparents lived in northern Ireland when I was little the north south border was just down the road from their house. I'm not sure most people have a clue what it was like even when it was quiet. I've watched idiots lob grenades over police station walls and hotels blow up and that was just one summer in Enniskillen. The army had to come and get us out one summer when I visited with my uncle who was a serving British police officer and someone found out, he couldn't visit again after that. I've never understood why the army gets blamed for it all but the IRA were the hard done by angels 🤬, angels don't dissappear people for questioning what was happening.
It grieves me every time I read the notices that come up on this website. It angers me to see that former senior members of the IRA are now in political positions - whereby, they are trying to take control, and dictate the course and take advantage of Northern Ireland's justice system! Gerry Adams is still fundamentally sympathetic to the IRA cause; No fkn doubt about it! Why in God's name is this man still roaming free? When his place is to languish for the rest of his life in a "hard labour prison!" "THERE'S SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG HERE!!" Again, I Challenge Starmer and his Government to give the Veteran Community a valid answer, as to why they don't step up and put this issue right. "Mr Starmer start acting like a world Statesmen, and show us the qualities of that role -'Leadership, strength, honesty, support, respect and regard for your Veterans, Armed Forces and Citizens! Your people despise you, not just for your mistakes, but also, for your arrogance and refusing to change! You're a disgrace to the Nation that you represent. You're a disgrace to Veterans and the British Armed Forces and Citizens of Great Britain! Pack your bags! You're no longer welcome here!
As an Irish patriot myself, it is totally disgusting that both Sinn Fein and the IRA constantly pretend that they speak for the Irish people, but the reality is that they simply don’t and in our times, their true colours have been fully revealed - the fact that British veterans are being dragged through the courts decades later for historical offences (and even their families if their loved ones have died in this horrific conflict in Northern Ireland) is beyond evil and yet traitor IRA and traitor Sinn Fein also bombed targets in Dublin and Monaghan in the Republic is proof of this, at the same time as they carried out attacks here in the U.K. and in Gibraltar, supported by Gadaffi’s regime in Libya - they are deeply hypocritical to have the sheer arrogance to claim they speak for the Irish people, how dare they attempt to do so - I was only a child in the Republic when Lord Mountbatten was murdered by the IRA in Co. Sligo and I remember the fallout from this horrific attack, yet I was so proud that the late Queen Elizabeth II got to visit my native Ireland many decades later 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🥰

I remember we had him and Martin McGuiness.
