Liam, extremely interesting and very informative, definitely thought provoking.

It's amazing that, although the majority of republicans now know we were sold and not even to the highest bidder, when you read it in real terms it still sounds quite shocking.

What is worse than the betrayal however, is the fact that Adams and Co still continue to lie, cover up and deceive the people who trusted them.

There are few of us who do not remember the Mitchell debacle.
The entire scenario was played out on a nod and a wink basis.
Telling the people they would give a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but the real gear still remained where it could be accessed if needed and so many people believed this shit.

Sinn Fein, actually put a questionnaire through doors in Clonard. Seriously asking people what they thought was an acceptable quantity to give.
Needles to say no-one ever came back out to collect the responses, probably those responsible were 'disappeared' before the arms surrender.

They (Sinn Fein) did not even accord us the right to surrender with dignity.
Once they signed on the doted line, the people and their struggle was quickly relegated to criminal status.

One of my worst memories of the entire painstaking process, was watching Sid Walsh read the final surrender statement.
The pain was not over quickly though, as apparently Sydney chose to go to the Felon's that evening to lament the end of the struggle with other like minded republicans.

In my minds eye I could picture the less than humble Sydney as he gave his choreographed reflections to the press at the Felons bar.
Could just picture him, all that smarm and absolutely no charm standing under the images of executed republicans such as the young Tom Williams.
Maybe they think they could fool the dead as well. 'Look at the tripe we ended up with, now wasn't your sacrifices worth it'

Look forward to the next piece Liam.

i notice that liam is using unionist terms in his opinion piece, like the belfast agreement, or the final agreement, not that it means a lot, not in the long run any-how, just saying.

there is also a lot of emphasis on what john, duck the mortars, major or lord bought trimple had to say, looks like if you take the oath to the crown, liam will take your word as gospel.

it is a lie to the IRISH people to make a comparison between the good friday agreement and sunningdale, at the centre of sunningdale, which the people had no vote on, was the crown oath, which is why the stoops want it back, after 1998 there is no oath at the assemply, at the heart of the good friday agreement which the people of the 32 counties voted yes to, is equality, no crown, for slow learners, the vote for peace was the vote to ditch the crown out of IRISH politics.

SINN FEIN wants rid of all weapons in IRELAND, with the armed brit patrols gone, there are less weapons on our streets.

then we have tony blair who promised the unionists the world, mere brit words which meant nothing, this promise did not make it on-to the peoples agreement, but it toppled trimple, and he fell on SINN FEINS political sword, the brits said sorry, and made trimple a unelected lord,
dont let the truth get in the way of a good story liam.
