Adams branded a traitor over handshake
 
Gerry Adams has been branded a traitor by nationalists after he publicly shook hands with Northern Ireland's head policeman.

The Sinn Fein president invited Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde to a private meeting with community representatives to discuss a feud in the area which has already claimed one life and damaged a catalogue of properties in the Ballymurphy area.

Mr Adams was dubbed a traitor by republican dissidents as he arrived at the Whiterock Community Centre and was also harangued by a family at the centre of the violence in the area.

Dialogue has centred on a dispute between two families in Ballymurphy which has been linked to over 800 incidents.

The stand-off was triggered by the stabbing to death of Gerard Devlin, 39, in February 2006 near his home in the area.

The talks between Sinn Fein and the police are an important sign of the nationalist party's commitment to policing which opened the way for a political settlement.

When Gerry proffered his hand, how hard was it for for Hugh to resist the temptation to snap the cuffs on him?  :D

Still, as Van the Man used to say, "Mamma always told me there'd be days like this" 

Then again, Van's mammy was probably off her head... ;)

"We don't need guns"
"Yes you fuckin' do"
