But sadly while not saying it was OK, there were 3 sides and all were as fecking vile as each other so let's not pretend otherwise here, be the pira, loyalists and the brit army, as 1000s of Catholics from the north can easily say that about the protection given by the protestant community to the shankill butchers for over 10 years, or to the family of the 7 yr old boy shot dead in his bed by the tough guys of the SAS in Antrim, or the family of the 11-year-old schoolgirl shot in the back and killed a week before bloody Sunday by the same scum who carried out bloody Sunday in Derry, also the biggest dealers in the North are the UDA nothing said, LVF, UVF never gave up their guns and still killing people and nothing said about that either.
I also like to say I find it fecking laughable that the DUP are writing to UEFA demanding this and that and to FAI demanding they withhold their money while saying feck all about laffery and had to be forced into a statement last year when the UVF forced a driver to drive a hoax bomb to where Coveney was when in Belfast or the non-stop death threat and painting Leo's home address all over Protestant areas.
(In response to the black bit) Sadly, as seen from both sides of the divide this year alone at the bonfires, that's not looking very likely, as there always seems to be someone on both sides not prepare to do that sadly no matter how much we would all like to see it, but sadly way too much bloodshed spilled on both sides for it to be, as don't forget the 10s of thousands of Northern Catholics who see us in the 26 as sell out scum, due to doing jack over partition in their eyes, or during the burning and killing of Catholics out of their homes which saw the rise of the provos in 67/68 when they walked away from the Dublin IRA leadership and set up the Provos.
Look they sang it stupidly without malice in my eyes, so as author and historian, Tim Pat Coogan once say about the 800 years of murder by the crown forces and loyalists, Ireland should forget the history and move on, because the British can never.
