Criminal Assets

Stop press: 

'Today, the Surbiton Evening Telegraph has discovered that a group of paedophiles who had occupied a house in Hampton Court Way, and were driven out by the locals, are set to make a return.  In spite of repeated promises made to the locals the landlord, Mr Arbuthnot Jessopcake, had come to a secret arrangement with the child molesters whereby they could return if they promised to pay additional rent and make any contributions towards damage inflicted by angry residents.  One of the paedophiles, Arnold Plasticmac, said he was looking forward to returning to number 54.  'We've missed the comfort of our living room', he said.  'Me and the boys would chat for hours about the children we molested.  Oh, they were such happy times.' 

When confronted by neighbours, some of whom had know the victims of these men, Jessopcake was unapologetic: 'The men have been punished for what they did.  Every person is entitled to a home he or she can call his own.'  Local residents are now seeking to appeal to the Tenants' Ombudsman.'

In reality there is no Surbiton Evening Telegraph.  There are, thankfully , no true characters in the above piece.  I am simply trying to illustrate how evil and despicable people are indulged by those who think they are abiding by a certain moral code, but who actually do not give a toss about the lives of people affected by the actions of those same evil people.  For Arbuthnot Jessopcake read Peter Hain.  After explicitly promising that IRA terrorists on the run would not be facilitated with an amnesty, he is currently ameliorating certain individuals in the United States with suggestions that the issue will need to be resolved.

Come to think of it, Hain is worse than the fictional Jessopcake.  Whereas the latter is driven by a misguided conscience into thinking he is doing right, Hain is acutely aware that thousands of victims and their loved ones across Ulster will recoil with repulsion at the prospect of IRA terrorists returning to the Province without having to answer for their crimes - but doesn't give a damn.  And if you think the flippant mention of child abuse is abhorrent (which it is), I am doing nothing other than putting into context the sort of evil deeds these real-life scumbags would be chatting and laughing about if, as Hain and 'Dave' Cameron want, they transmogrify into an 'old boys association'.

One of the terrorists wishing to avail of Hain's comfort blanket was responsible for the murder of 11 innocent people, including a parent of one of the regular contributors to ATW.  Imagine how that person feels, knowing in all probability that a germ like Caulfield will live a life of certain ease compared to the pain of those who continue to suffer as a consequence of his actions.  Does Hain care?  Does he hell!!  Unless you're 'politically green' or 'epidermalogically black', you've got zero chance of ever currying Hain's sympathy.

suspected of involvement

Suspect does not equal conviction

I suppose you only care about the "Golden Thread" when it suits you.

Hain should deal with OTR's it is an issue that needs to be resolved.

'OTR's it is an issue that needs to be resolved.'

I agree. Bring them back to Northern Ireland. Arrest them at the point of entry, try them in a court of law and then, send them to prison for a very long time.

What I 'care' about are terrorists living a life of Riley, supported by people like yourself, whilst others endure the daily pain of what those people did.

[Chris Gaskin]

How exactly am I am supporting anyone to "live a life of Riley"?

I see you have avoided the issue of the Golden Thread, what am I not surprised?

Only a democrat when it suits you, how very Unionist of you.

Come on Chris - I read SF's actions as pointing towards an admission that most, if not all, of the OTRs are guilty of the outstanding crimes ...

if they aren't guilty, they should come back and stand trial .... God knows you guys have the lawyers and the millions to buy the best defence teams possible ....

and we aren't all stupid.

IF they get away with an amnesty for the OTRs then Gerry and Martin are waiting to present the NEXT "Anomaly" -that the amnestied OTRs have clean sheets but boo-hoo people like Sean Kelly have criminal records ...and you bet your ass there will be a demand that the convicted terrorists' records are wiped ....

[Chris Gaskin]

What you read is neither here nor there

They have not been convicted, simple as that!

[Madradin Ruad]

They have not been convicted, simple as that!

Because they have run away from the courts - their choice Chris. They can stay away or they can face the courts.

And I notice you avoid discussing the progression .......

[Chris Gaskin]

No chance of a fair trial MR.

I see that you have not denied my basic premise that these people are innocent untill proven guilty.

You have decided however to engage in whataboutery.

[Tom Tyler]

Chris Gaskin, You know something? I can't make you out at all. On the one hand you're all so reverential to the Pope, referring to him as The Holy Father in your posts both at Balrog, and on here when I recently defended the RC stance on contraception, you were all "Yeah, couldn't agree more". Yet at the same time you're a virtual apologist for the bloody IRA. (And I mean the word "bloody" not as a swear-word but literally). Come on now, I am a Catholic like you, but the IRA makes me feel ashamed to associate them with Catholicism in any shape or form. Be consistent, Chris, and take a stand against terrorists. You can still insist upon a united Ireland and argue for that, but it is hypocritical to come over all "Holy Father" and yet give IRA terrorists the benefit of the doubt, in my opinion. Just saying, y'know.

No chance of a fair trial MR.
Bollix to that Chris :)
And as you guys HAVE to accept that they WILL get a fair trial if you want to come out of quarantine you are between a rock and a hard place

You have decided however to engage in whataboutery.

no whataboutery - pointing out your side's plan :)

[Madradin Ruad]

Tom - Republicans have the same a la carte approach to their religion - some bits they like to forget - "Thou shalt not kill" ? - as they do to the various agreements they make.
They observe the bits that suit and set aside the bits that don't.
