Lessons in Cute Hoorism: “Graft was accepted, for you were taking from the British…”

Richard O,Rawe has challenged gerry adams.. danny morrison ..bik mc farland to take a lie detector test to prove who was telling the truth in regards the deal/or no deal which could have saved the lifes of some of the brave hunger strikers. danny morrison attacks Richard O,Rawe on a weekly basis calling him a liar. So here it is adams .. morrison..mc farland your chance to put the record straight. I doubt they will take the test but i hope Richard will go ahead and show them bastards for what they are adams mc farland morrison thatcher all quilty of murder… this should help the maze awareness that the godfathers all let the hunger strikers die for British jobs.

Justice for everyone
