Stoops support SPADS, Sinn Fein sad and mad.

"Your report did not say it's a victory for victims and I think that's true. I think it's a bill which will not advance the cause of peace"

A victory for victims... Aye right.

That's how I understood it too.

Did he not say that it was "not a victory for unionists, but a victory for victims"? Are we quoting different parts of the interview?

""Your report did not say it's a victory for victims and I think that's true. I think it's a bill which will not advance the cause of peace"

Are you just repeating yourself? I could do that too. At best he contradicted himself.

Well if the Normans and Welsh and Flemish, then the English then the Scots then the Brits had kept their noses out of our business for the last 800 years - the problems we'd have had would be our own and of our own making.

Not sure about what you are saying is the same thing...
Weren't we taught in history classes that while various factions invaded, they invariably ended up fully integrated with the domestic Irish society!
The English didn't integrate- they just wanted to annex, control and conquer , with all the perils to Irish lives that entailed.

Well I was only going to put the quote up once, but you asked me to clarify what he said. What could I do other that repeat what he said!

You could have said yes, you were quoting from another part of the interview.

You could have said yes, you were quoting from another part of the interview.

But he wasn't. You've interpreted what he said differently.

Apologies, you're right. I was thrown because Nally missed the first past of what he said:

"I saw it reported as a unionist victory which is sort of sad because the report didn't say it was a victory for victims and I think that's true. I think it's a bill which will not advance the cause of peace"

I agree, it's open to interpretation - he wasn't very clear.

Ann Travers now in anti Maze Development Unionist grouping ( i e every shade of unionist out with DUP) and she received a rousing ovation in Lisburn Orange Hall on Thursday night.

It is becoming increasingly hard to have any sympathy for this woman.
