I doubt that studying republican history would be a requirement for such disagreement.

Pete,

yet in 1976 he was vice O/C of Crumlin Road Jail when he spent 3 weeks there on remand.

Nobody who has studied republican history could agree with Martin McGuinness's clain to have left the IRA in 1974.

Anthony According to Martin, he left the IRA in 1974.

At least that's what he told the Saville Inquiry.

And he wouldn't have lied to them...

“I’ve never hidden the fact that I was in the IRA and I told the Saville tribunal that I left the IRA in late 1974,” Mr McGuinness said. “So that’s my position.”

Indeed...

dear oh dear, more historical 'airbrushing'...

dear oh dear, more historical 'airbrushing' not in the 'RA in 1990? who was he chief negotiator for? by the way Celtic beat rangers 4-2 yesterday, it was GREAT.

Every time McGuinness opens his gob i'd love someone to stick something cold and metalic into it.

I see John 'Lurch' O'Dowd taking his place, there's a perfect replacement if ever there was one.

Marty,

they put in a very poor performance on radio today. I think what makes it difficult for them is denying the IRA past. McGuinness was saying today on Radio Ulster that he was not in the IRA in 1990. It would be hard to find anyone who would believe that

Who would represent Ireland best, a gunman, a gayman, or after Saturdays heroics, a hooker?

Its gonna be interesting in the coming days to watch Marty boy squirm and spew crap about his past as a volunteer in the pira, like it wasnt me I left before that happened,or will he tell us why he left the ra and when, and did he then encourage others to do the same,you can bet he f##kin didnt.

pint in hand - always a good time to discuss politicians. Brings the utmost clarity and indiscreet but accurate comments. Another great depiction Brian to add to the many
