Maybe you don't" support" the IRA but every time there's a discussion on here you certainly sound as though you do, especially when the two young men dragged from their car is mentioned, you seem outraged that people bring it up and last time it was mentioned your initial response was "not hearing much sympathy for the Irish people"... which just isn't true. It's not that black and white.

If we're ever going to move on from the Troubles, my own opinion is that Sinn Fein need to take up their seats in Stormont and everyone involved in violence during the Troubles needs to be tried.... or pardoned. It has to be seen to be equal.

The IRA were a terrorist group, the British Army were not therefore do you not think they should be held to a higher standard of behaviour? It's like saying that police shouldn't have to face charges for a crime because criminals exist. Odd logic.
