Really really, help the pour deluded soul.

To be serious for a second.
I KNOW there is a picture of him out there somewhere with a great big home made club spiked with nails in his hand. It's from January '69 I think. When his mobs attacked civil rights marchers at Burntollet Bridge and in the city of Derry. I have seen it (perhaps in an old copy of Socialism Today)

Typically now that I need it to show he is not "an innocent, godly man" as my arch nemesis on some other sight suggests I cannot find the picture.I threw out a load of books on Ireland and socialist pamphlets when I moved house years ago and i fear it was in one of those!

I've searched google pictures but can't find anything. Can anyone help?

Just use a picture of Satan with pitchfork. They're nearly identical.

Sounds pretty unlikely to me. But there is an old photo of him dressed in a suit holding a "Smash Sinn Fein" sledgehammer as a political stunt.

I know he does come across as insane to the outside world: he does to me as well. But writing as somebody from Northern Ireland, I have to point out that he is the most popular politician in Ulster. His views express the sentiments of a great many here ... jaundiced perhaps ... but it emanates from fear.

don't worry mate, apparently the mccartney sisters play at instantchess and mcguinness is a backgammon man, so i doubt this thread will do any lasting damage.

But you've got no problem with the charming Adams
& McGuinness blowing innocent people up for thirty years?🙄

Richard Rose argued back in the 70s that the problem with Northern Ireland is that it is a problem without a solution.

A lot of people, here, think the peace process is, at best a pipe dream, and at worst an excuse for some third rate politicians to indulge their egos.

And as long as enough people in N Ireland take that cynical view, it stays true.

Oh dear - so only people from 'Northern Ireland' are allowed an opinion then?

That's not what I meant. Re-reading my post I do appreciate that I seem a little rude, so I apologise to the poster.

What I mean is what is your (the poster's) view on the situation?

If I appear cynical it's because:

1. I am a disappointed citizen(?!?) of Northern Ireland, and;

2. I have been involved in (neutral) political groups here for a few years.

Fair enough.
I thought a neutral political group was a contradiction in terms, though I think I know what you mean in NI terms.
