| Boycie Why should I need comfort breaks watching this Philippe Sands video ? This point escapes me. I do not have time to take up your suggestion at the moment as I am more engrossed in the civil case being brought against Gerry Adams the well known non-member of the IRA. The IRA; an Irish terror organisation responsible for the deaths of 1,800 British citizens. Though as an Irishman and a self proclaimed supporter of the 'RA I doubt this troubles you much. How can you bear to live amongst us ? Adams defence barristers' case was summarised as follows. "Lawyers for Mr Adams said he "played an instrumental role in the peace process which culminated in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in April 1998, which brought an end to the decades-long conflict". In written submissions, Edward Craven KC, representing Mr Adams, said: "The defendant's alleged factual and legal responsibility for the claimants' injuries is strongly contested, as is the claimants' ability to bring these claims against the defendant several decades after the expiry of the applicable limitation period." So, 'he "played an instrumental role in the peace process which culminated in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in April 1998, which brought an end to the decades-long conflict". A defence that Ian Huntley might have used. "I brought an end to decades of child murders when I decided to stop carrying them out." Regarding Adams, insert 'murdering civilians to attempt to pressure the British Government to in turn force the British nationals in Northern Ireland to accept a political resolution they did not want'. Oh and I note his defence also rest upon "the claimants' ability to bring these claims against the defendant several decades after the expiry of the applicable limitation period." Meaning all these murders took place a long time ago so forget about it. "Nah na na na nah". |
