Just before 8pm on Saturday 4 December, a customer in the bar on Belfast's North Queen Street thought he could smell a stink bomb being let off.

Wreckage of McGurk's pub
Many victims were buried under the wreckage of the pub
It was in fact a UVF bomber lighting the fuse on a 50lb bomb.

Seconds later it exploded almost completely destroying the pub, claiming 15 lives.

It was the UVF's first major atrocity and to this day the biggest loss of life in Belfast in one incident during the Troubles.

Among the dead were the wife and daughter of the bar's owner, Thomas McGurk.

Yes, the bombing history is very different. The part of my post you have highlighted is the truth - The UVF, as awful as they were, did not blow up woman and children on a regular basis, so I don't get the point you are making?

Of course there were a few UVF bombings in the early days that mainly targeted pubs...factually very few indeed, because that is not how they operated.

The McGurks Bar bombing was in retaliation for the Red Lion bar bombing by the IRA in which 3 were killed and many injured. The Red Lion bombing was the first bombing of the troubles.

The IRA carried out thousands of bombings....

The Omagh Bomb.
John Hume said "When you look at the faces of those young children and see the terrible suffering inflicted on their families, you wonder what sort of people are these who can leave those children in the coffin the way they are."

Have a look at this:

It also transpired that the IRA had targeted the village of Tullyhommon, 20 miles from Enniskillen, on that Remembrance Sunday. The bomb at Tullyhommon was four times the size of the Enniskillen device. Had it exploded, members of the Boys' and Girls' Brigades would have been caught up in the carnage.

These examples are just a sample - I could go on and on all day, but I think you get the picture that highlighting the very few UVF bombs (and I have condemned the UVF, as I abhor ALL violence) doesn't stand up to any comparison in the slightest and says quite a lot about your total ignorance of the Troubles and the devastation and death caused on a HUGE scale, by the bombings of the IRA. At least, I HOPE it's ignorance.

And your hero, Corbyn, fails to outright condemn these cold blooded killers, who didn't care WHO they killed in their indiscriminate bombings.

A little reminder:
Corbyn lies about his part in the peace process and refuses to answer the question ‘do you condemn what the IRA did’ 5 times.
On the fifth time, he hangs up.
