Yet another masterful poke in the eye of the Peace Processors Brian.
I often think of the photo of Fitt standing in what remained of his house and wonder. Was poor Gerry in the wrong place at the wrong time?
A decade or two later the burning of his house would have been the work of traitors, opposed to the peace process who were living in cloud-cuckoo-land.
Today we have two Gerrys, Adams and Kelly, who tend to throw the odd Fitt or two.
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.
