Loyalist Marchers forced to defend themselves from attack!

Only myles could turn a thread about one of his mates punching a 50 year old woman in to the IRA and Nazis 

First reference to 2nd world war combatants on this thread came in post 58, from Red Hander.

Your apology is accepted.

I thank the Lord that no ancestor of mine in the last 170 years anyway ( we have no records before that but am confident none betrayed their Country to fight for it's oppressors army) betrayed their Country by joining the murderous scumbags who killed,looted and terrorised this Country for hundreds of years.

'I'm not going to get drawn into a debate on this, as that would imply that there's a debate to be had. Nice try, though'

You remind me of a little kid who puts his hands over his ears, closes his eyes and shouts "lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala" at the top of his voice when he doesn't want to hear anything that doesn't fit into his viewpoint ... and btw, we had this before, William Joyce was NOT Irish

No, it's more that I refuse to allow republicans to set the terms of a debate in order to suit their own agenda. Why is it, for example, that republicans always seek to compare the IRA and their so called armed struggle with that of the French Resistance, or Nelson Mandela? Simple. It's because the very act of comparison casts the IRA in a better light. There are, and have been, any number of insurgencies, paramilitary groupings and irregular forces, in conflicts past and present around the world. Africa, South America and even Europe in the shape of the Balkans, have all thrown up irregular militias. Why no comparison with these? Why no comparison with the FARC guerillas, for example, with whom the IRA have been linked? Again, easy question. Republicans would worry that someone might mention FARC's links with the drug trade and such a link would do republicans no favours. It would be reasonable to hold any one of these various paramilitary groups up for comparison with the provos, but republicans shy away from that. Much better to cite the French Resistance as brothers in arms and hope that noone points out that the IRA were Nazi collaborators. 

As you're such an expert on Colombia maybe you'd like to explain why the FARC guerrillas exist in the first place, with particular reference perhaps to the extreme right wing pro-American government in the country responsible for murdering its own citizens ... and while we're on the subject of drugs, maybe you could give us a precis on the Colombian government's links to the country's drug dealers, the self-same drug dealers you're linking with FARC ... you are totally blind to anything that does not suit your anti-republican agenda and you are totally blind to the atrocities perpetrated by your beloved British

Quite happy to discuss British atrocities at any time. They don't make me as angry as republican atrocities, however, which were carried out - supposedly - on my behalf and in pursuit of something which I regard as important, namely the reunification of my country.

I would say your ancestors more than 170 years ago were much the same as now. Pulling spuds out of the ground with their teeth and riding sheep.

Obv you are entitled to your OPINION' on these matters,, but if you were accurate in what you were saying then people might pay some attention. fabricating reasns and passing your own ideas as facts wont cut this !
the IRA etc did some terribly wrong things imo, but they came about to defend people from the oppression, persecution and ongoing physical attacks (both covert and open) by the security forces, cops and all those supposed to be upholding law an order. The nationalist/Irish/catholic/working class people had no choice.
you can have your opinions, but they dont hold true for other parts of he six counties.
so whinge away, but you are consistently wrong and incorrect in your vitriol against republican retaliation.
think more of what caused it and why these people HAD to fight back !
How the establishment's sectarian apartheid type campaigh were halted by their british gov masters and once a more equality based socety was seen tobe delivered - then all the retaliation and fighting stopped - no coincidence !
I dont think anyone believes you are a nationalist/sdlp'er etc and it actually doesnt matter if you are a unionist /loyalistr - you are entitled to your opinions but you wont be let peddle your lies on here !

Hopefully that lady has recovered fromher beating, I actually doubt that even with the cctv footage her assailents will be brought to justice. I hope to be proven incorrect there though !

Your a hypocrite then Myles. You often give out to people on here who only bring up British wrong doings and chastise them for doing this when clearly your no different in that you get "more angry" at republican atrocities.

And you prioritise atrocities on who carried them out not on what actually happened???

The mask has slipped badly there Myles.
