Saint Martin of McGuinness RIP

I'm currently listening to a lot of Northern Irish people and ex-soldiers who f****ng detested him who are saying they are just thankful for the peace process.

The peace process wouldn't have happened if McGuiness was targeted as he was too slippery to be caught.

he was too slippery to be caught.

Sounds like he should have gone into politics a lot earlier. Or Banking perhaps.

Then he would have to move to the mainland.

Or it might have happened a lot sooner if he'd been "disposed" of years ago.

Nope there were more after him plus Jerry Adams.

Anyway he's not lived to a ripe old age.

Not likely. The rhetoric from all sides was one of refusing any kind of cooperation or even negotiation.

We know now that Thatcher's government were having secret communications with the IRA, something that would have been a huge scandal if it had got out. Of course John Major's government continued it, and then Tony Blair got to take all the credit.

Dead Terrorist? Another tricky day for Komrade Korbyn then. Has he uttered something offensive enough to make headlines yet?

The fact that he's still Leader of the Opposition is bloody offensive.
