British Politics

I'm talking in a NI context.

 

The whole thing was they didn't want NI to be treated any differently than the rest of the UK and also they didn't want a hard border, no way was it ever going to be possible to get both of those things. It was always going to be one or the other and if it was going to be a hard border then that would be a lot of snipers coming out of retirement.

 

Doesnt what I said apply to the DUP as well?
Maybe they, like me, dont like the present situation but it will be sorted out in a few years.

 

Aye basically the Brits have weighed it up and decided the Ra would've been more dangerous probably

 

And his beer's ****e.

 

Yes but they knew NI would be treated different, they gambled on the border being in Ireland and lost.

 

and then into jail or cemetery

 

"Sorted out in a few years" seems rather vague.

 

"the border" is in Ireland

 

Hopefully the latter, but it wouldn't be before they killed random civilians.

 

ok

 

OK, "4 years, 7 months, 14 days and 3 hours"

 

For the British soldiers who were on the receiving end?

 

They better get a ****ing move on if they want to meet that deadline.

 

it didnt work like that before
the IRA wanted peace because they were getting beaten in the war
"try to kill; get killed"

 

and 12 seconds

 

Nope, the IRA drove a lorry bomb into the financial district of London and caused a billion pound worth of damage. It was Britain wanted peace after that.

 

So it had nothing to do with MI5 infiltrating the IRA and the shoot to kill policy?

Didn't the Security forces trap one of the main IRA leaders in honey trap in a young boys brothel, so he acted as an inside informer?
