Steve is a very poor housemate and I've no doubt his disabilities have stopped many people putting him up already, he does very little in the house and he does come across as a very seedy character

For the record he was invading a land that the British Government had no right being in in the first place!

I have no time for Steve, he is a dull housemate, but he got blown up protecting 'BRITISH' citizens. Believe me, Northen Ireland was a war zone.

Much as I would like Ireland to be united, it is not. The majority of those in the North Class themselves as British therefore it is a British problem.

There is an uneasy peace at the moment and only careful politics can protect it. There is no easy solution. I try hard to see it from both sides, and I am the first to say that there were murdering Bastards on both sides as well.

Steve was injured doing a job he loved, that much cannot be taken from him.
