Ofcourse they were the voice of the IRA. When all other avenues of protest were made illegal or batted down by the B Specials and the RUC, when protestors were shot dead while protesting peacefully, what else do you do? Desperate situations call for desperate measures, do you really blame people for supporting them?levets said:blue jim said:Sinn Fein are a completely legitimate elected political party. Whats your point?
They were the voice of the IRA. They are legitimate now yes, but not then.. I think you know my point, as does everybody else.
Oh, and I'm a catholic of Irish decent and know Irish history.. so if you want a row (metaphorically speaking).........
surely someone who claims to know Irish history will know what I'm talking about.
And for the record, people here seem to think I'm anti british or anti english or something and support the IRA. lets put it straight, i dont. simple as that.
