Violence in the North -Nip lunacy in the bud

HOW heartbreaking it must be for the relatives of anyone killed by the IRA during the North’s 30 years of terror to listen to Sinn Féin spokesmen attack the “dissident republicans” who orchestrated the violence around the North over the last few days.

If it was not so tragic, so utterly, so mind-numbingly hypocritical, such a straight-faced denial of the past, it would be laughable. As it is, it is just offensive.

Sinn Féin spokesmen are today using the very language that every democrat, every constitution nationalist used to try to get them and their armed, terrorist wing to stop killing and murdering for all of 30 years.
