A picture appeared in one of the Irish newspapers last week showing members of the CIRA, they looked like a very sad bunch, reminiscent of the gang that in a 1970's brish comedy that comprised 'Dad's Army'. I agree with suggestions in this article that the RIRA (I get confused) are criminal thugs, seeking some sort of deluded legitimacy.

Some find it hard to deal with-
England took advantage of the Gaelic hopelessness following the death of Hugh O’Neill in 1616. The 17th century witnessed the submergence of Gaelic Ireland, a feat accomplished by England’s intentional and concentrated assault on Ireland’s society, culture and religion. England suppressed those things on which Irish society was based – their lands, names, and language. They adopted the trategy of establishing a plantation, eliminating the native Irish, and repopulating the country with more trustworthy English, on a scale never before seen in Ireland. They began with Ulster. Five hundred thousand acres in Ulster were thrown open to settlers in 1609. Preference was given to English and lowland Scots.

Ms.Kelly's narrow view lacks credibility. The greatest threat to Britain are the thugs running wild in Belfast. The thugs are the last gasp of a dying breed and only enhance the common sense reasoning for a UI.

Is dissidence limited to republicans. Or do loyalists suffer from it also?
