"selfish tyrant"

Perhaps you're thinking of "The Selfish Giant"...

...another fairy story!

"handing over one murderer or bomber"

I wonder how that would work in practice?

Should there be investigations carried out by "Sinn Fein/IRA"? Suspects arrested and questioned by "Sinn Fein/IRA"? Tried in a "Sinn Fein/IRA" court? Then, on conviction, turned over to the PSNI?

Seems that opponents of "Sinn Fein/IRA" have TWO reasons to condemn them:

For taking the law into their own hands...

...and for REFUSING to take the law into their own hands!

"vitriolic rhetoric"?

"Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness had earlier hinted of a possible rethink on the party's position on policing..."

It seems that vitriol, like nostalgia, ain't what it used to be!

"a police officer with 30 years of experience"

30 years of experience? Some people have over 40 years of experience in their vocation but the Tele still wants rid of them!

Life expectancy and population size in Ireland suffered a big drop in the mid 19th century, Cogobo! Colonialism as philanthropy won't wash!

"Mugabe"

I'm not going to go to the trouble to research his record, but I imagine there is a lot of western propaganda against him floating about out there. He drove out "white farmers"? Good for him!

Whatever problems exist in Africa the solution isn't more colonialism!

Actually, I'm saying that when colonists invade a country and steal its land, you generally find that the natives are poor and oppressed; and the solution to the problem of ending that state of affairs isn't for the natives to clean the houses of the colonists!

I understand that exploiting the labour of the poor and oppressed is not a remedy for poverty and oppression.

And visiting a "country in Africa" is out of the question - I happen to be living in poverty myself...

...understand?

I'm not sure where you're coming from, Cogobo.

My initial comment was directed at Peter Hain, a waste of space of the first order in my opinion, and his self-serving nonsense suggesting he was some kind of hero of the South African freedom struggle on a par with Mandela.

You took issue with me over the issue of his family employing a Black maid in South Africa. It seems to me that such a practice actually represented a large aspect of the apartheid attitude towards the "natives", i.e. that they were to be exploited as a cheap labour resource.

I'm not at all sure what kind of Republican you are, and frankly, I don't think I want to know! And having a "black African wife" proves nothing - except perhaps that love is blind!

What's that black stuff near the fried egg? Black pudding or something that's been incinerated to charcoal?

"Prescription charges would boost research"

So would making big business pay more tax. The drawback would be that the rich wouldn't be quite so rich.

Hence the need for these "Let's find more ways to make the poor pay more" schemes, I suppose.

"Why the ghost of murdered Jean McConville won't lie at rest"

Because the Partitionist establishment believes that poor drink-sodden Paddy is so driven by his emotions and so incapable of rational thought that it merely has to show him an old black & white photo and a mechanical digger on a beach before an election and he'll be consumed with guilt at the very idea of giving the Shinners his vote!

By the way, an anagram of "Gail Walker" is "Gael-war ilk".

Keep fighting the good fight, Gail!
