Given that the Home Office has published a list of "unacceptable behaviours" which will lead to the deportation or exclusion of any foreign national who commits them from the UK and that it includes the sensible point that one cannot foment, justify, glorify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs, I am interested to know why IRA leader and Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is not in jail? Mr. Adams carries an Irish passport, tells anyone he meets that he is Irish, why he even has a house in Donegal - so why don't our Authorities sling this Rafia godfather back to the Republic of Ireland?
Well, we both know why, don't we dear reader? It is because in the imaginary world of the peace process the IRA are good and kindly terrorists who, whilst they admittedly may have murdered thousands of innocents, (It was a bad hair three decades) have now moved to a position of being firmly committed to a just peace which is why they have assured us that their murderous ways are in the past. That is why they have refused to disband their illegal terror structure whilst retaining their killing arsenal. It makes such sense, doesn't it? R-e-t-c-h!

Aileen,
Exactly - we must suspend all common sense, swallow the lies, and hey presto - peace in our time! People go on about Neville Chamberlain's supine submission to the evil of Nazism, but it is my view that the past two British Governments (Major and Blair's) have prostituted the tenets of democracy in order to buy off the evil of the IRA. Evil is evil, and appeasement is appeasement. The sole difference is that the media plays a much more intrusive, if not omnipresent, role in our lives, and if you can control the media you can spread lies more effectively and anaethesise the masses into thinking they have "peace" when in fact they have a shabby surrender to the forces of evil.

and at least in Chamberlain's defence he didn't have the benifit of being able to learn from that mistake.
