John Laird for Christmas?
John Laird (Lord Laird of Artigarvan) is unionism’s jester. His memoir A Struggle To Be Heard ” by a True Ulster Liberal” (from Slugger’s shop on Amazon here) might serve more as a heavy stocking filler than anybody’s idea of a main present. In it he wears the masks of comedy and tragedy to turn the [...] read our review »

The ANC, the IRA and the rise of influence of the left within Sinn Fein…
World by Storm has a nice piece up on the IRA’s role in helping MK, the armed wing of the ANC, in the 1980s.

Talking of MOPE myths

I’m not sure in what way that link is relevant to N.I.
It’s all about the USA.
I hope that anyone who does checkout the link, does what I did after reading the first few pages and started to nod off; that is, scroll to the bottom to read for rebuttals
For supporting evidence of gerrymandering, try looking at Derry. There was a World in Action done in, I think, 19644, which showed this up. The council official trying to justify the situation wby repeating ‘we;re all happy here is hilarious’. But maybe the government sponsored report into the need for electoral reform was a mope move too
And it wasn’t me who said that Stormont boundaries were gerrymandered, so Valenciano is aiming at a non-existent target. My point was that even if gerrymandering was at council level, it was a problem that Stormont could have, should have but didn’t fix

Loyalist – “mark haddock destroyed mount vernon but now theirs the normal people left to clean up his mess!”
Jaysus wept, what a great advertisement for the teaching of English in loyalist communities.

a lot of people in mount vernon will be glad to c haddock DEAD. speaking on behalf of 99% of people liven here. lol
let the bastard burn in hell. and we will c him there. burn u rat
Haddock shot?Sounds a bit fishy to me
Mick Hall on The Blanket is now quoting spook sources to say Bradford was done in by PIRA touts. The line now seems to be that it was only MI5 agents fighting MI5 agents with a few police informers also involved.
Let’s face it. All dead volunteers on all sides deserved to die. It is the innocent we should feel sorry for.
