Celebrations in Belfast

[john m]

ONCE AGAIN this little forum seems to be ahead of the posse when it comes to seeing whats really going on or being set up ....The Government has reacted with anger to reports that the UK authorities are to ban prosecutions of former British soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

The Daily Telegraph and Times newspapers are reporting that the move is to be announced in Queen Elizabeth's speech next week.

It is claimed the legislation would introduce a statute of limitations so there would be no prosecutions for any alleged crimes committed before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

The reports say the ban would apply across the board, so would also include former members of the IRA and loyalist paramilitary

I'm pretty certain they've been talking about that for years.Not really big news Erm.

What's the next prediction?Darkness in the evenings maybe?Winter is colder than summer?

Its the way they done it Merch .They dont want any enquiry into the murder of Pat Finnucan .The dogs in the streets know there was a shoot to kill policy and the Brits sanctioned or allowed both sides to kill .But when the Brits were exposed as having organised some of these killings something had to be done .My personal view is as long as both sides are treated equally and no prosecutions I could live with that but I dont think that is what this is really about .I think it is the British Establishment minding its own people .The showtrial that collapsed this week was always going to collapse that opened the door for this bit of legislation .Dont think Mary from the Navan Road or the Blond Housewife up There will be to outspoken about british Soldiers who shot to kill getting a free pass .FG on the other hand will be all law and order but wont fuck Leo out for Spying for his mates .They have been talking about this but it was not possible because of the Stormont House agreement but the Brits seem to have ditched that like they will ditch Leos backstop agreement and any other agreement that dosent suit them .

As I said it was in the news on mainland months ago

Boros dosent seem to give a fuck about agreements or deals he is sending Warships to Jersey now to threaten the French Fishermen .Strange how both of these issues were posted on Election Day in England .Looks like the Tory Party are reverting to the 1930s where they thought Being British is being Best .You look back at what went on in the North lives lost and destroyed men locked up was it really worth it in the end Nothing has really changed .

[Taxi driver42]

Exactly
Nothing changed after 50 Yr
Brits still in charge and union jack still flies everywhere
Sf did nothing apart from get a few concessions that were on the way anyway
The b special s and other issues such as 2 vote protestants would have been phased out in time
The leadership of sf and ira were bought out somehow in the peace process

[john m]

There is now equality .Harland and Wolf gone Mackies Gone all the big protestant employers gone now everybody is on the Dole or working in state backed non job jobs .Your Loyalist still dosent understand the Brits dont want them .Take away the Flag and the Lambeg Drum they are no different than the boys in the Celtic Jerseys .The Big issue now is who they select to lead them and will their Councillors vote to ban Gay Conversion Therapy .Hard to believe they still think praying over somebody in the Orange Lodge might prevent them being Gay .Ulsters version of Trumpism.Now the Jocks are thinking of breaking away I wonder which side the British Army will take in that fight and if they will murder British Citizens on the streets of Britain like they did in Northren Ireland .Strange how we think Britain and America are advanced Democracies based on law and order !

So what does this gay conversion therapy entail....a severe beating at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries?

Thats week Three .First its just praying then its hellfire and brimstone then comes the laying on of hands .Its straight out of the Donald T book of Christian Brotherhood .Poots believes in Creationism believes the world was created 6000 years BC he dosent believe we evolved he thinks God made us and God if he was around today would be a Scottish Free Presbyterian and a member of the Orange Order would support Linfield and Rangers and would rename Jesus William .

I don't see what the big deal is... pre-GFA ought to be consigned to history, end of.

Gerry Adams should be on 'Stars In Their Eyes '

Tonight Matthew I'm going to be Rolf Harris singing  that old favourite from the Falls Road:

Try Me Kangeroo Court boy!!

I totally agree, but there are still a good few out there that just want Justice, Justice, Justice !
They might change their tune someday if the good Gerry happened to be in the dock.

It's a 2 way street, Ken. Political prisoners were released on foot of the agreement so I don't see why others involved in the same conflict at the same time on either side should be before the courts... the same courts that convicted the Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four, as it goes.

I think we are singing from the same Hymn sheet, there were atrocities on both sides, mainly in the North during the 'Troubles' but many more on both sides South of the Border before that, your and my home towns were both burnt to the ground by the Tan's, but fer me that is all history, it's far from forgotten, but it's History.
