Its simply journalism in the service of the great powers, to label it as lazy undermines the sinister &amp; controlled nature of it.Belfast Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08788284349622223129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-78218321629234291202011-11-28T09:20:39.354Z2011-11-28T09:20:39.354ZLiam,<br /><br />You know what they say about statistics. <br /><br />A unionist friend recently suggested to me that the numbers of Loyalist paramilitaries times actually killed Republican paramilitaries was barely in the twenties, and the figure the other way was similar.<br /><br />Given these two groups were responsible for most fatalities: one can you confirm, deny that its true; what do you make of it?<br /><br />Also, I agree the media is incredibly lazy in terms of victims. But there is a more tangible hierarchy of victims marked out on the streets. When I get off the train at Sydenham, or come out of Mass in Castlewellan, I see memorials to combatants.<br /><br />Most civilians who died have no such markers. Many died singly and if not alone have only their immediate families to remember them.Sluggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01950522598337835766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-50554088073199316402011-11-24T18:00:37.161Z2011-11-24T18:00:37.161ZLaim&#39;s research is always impressive and convincing.
