  2. Comment on Thoughts on Purvis’s resignation and the PUP
    on 7 June 2010 at 2:02 pm

    To all those who do not beleive there was ever direct contact between Unionist politicians and Unionist terrorists I suggest you read “The Committee” by Sean McPhillemy…. Oh no you can’t because over a decade after peace decended on this region I’ts still on a british government black list of banned publications!

  3. Comment on Dawn Purvis resigns from the PUP…
    on 3 June 2010 at 11:10 am

    I was lucky enough to meet Dawn on several occasions before she entered politics(I worked with her mum) and I was always impressed by her intelligence, drive, common sense approach and her honesty. Honesty about where she was coming from and where she felt we should all be heading together. I sincerely hope Dawn does not leave politics as she is precisely the kind of person this place needs to bring about real change and progress As we can all see from her actions today she is truly a woman of principal and integrity.

    You wouldnt believe how many times I’ve been called anti-semitic today just for critcising the jewish state. How can a democracy have only one religion? It’s a contadiction in terms.

    tafkabo,
    I cant say I feel much common ground with Hamas myself but to listen to the Israeli official statements you could be mistaken for thinking that every man woman and child in Gaza is a member!

  6. Comment on UVF breach cease-fire?
    on 31 May 2010 at 6:14 pm

    Victor, I hope to see the end of this kind of brutality on our streets just as you do but I’m afraid It will take the ordinary people turning against the thugs as the residents of short strand did to stop it.

  9. Comment on International Piracy?

    I would think that the main objective of the peace activists was to raise international awareness of the situation in Gaza. This they acheived at the cost of their own lives. I watched all the available footage and saw only men with sticks. If I was intent on going toe to toe with the IDF commandoes a stick would not be my weapon of choice and before you go off on one, no I’m not an anti-semite, just a humanist.
