Apparently, Biffo was accused in the wrong! Sources say, the reason he was slurring his words that morning during the interview was down to exhaustion rather than drink.
Mackers, it was great! A friend of mine heard the interview and said he was bluttered. For all that, I think he still managaed to piece together a better argument than Adams about the economy.
Former IRA volunteer and ex-prisoner, spent 18 years in Long Kesh, 4 years on the blanket and no-wash/no work protests which led to the hunger strikes of the 80s. Completed PhD at Queens upon release from prison. Left the Republican Movement at the endorsement of the Good Friday Agreement, and went on to become a journalist. Co-founder of The Blanket, an online magazine that critically analyzed the Irish peace process.
