I virtually NEVER read Ruthie - life is too short. I read Tintin a little oftener - i.e., on a rare occasion. But I do keep hearing them asserting themselves on radio programmes I happen to be listening to. But yes, it does make sense to broaden our view of the world - however, some people broaden it, others take you up blind alleys or waste your time, in which case... I've had people tell me I'm writing rubbish - beats me why they read it, except people enjoy being outraged. Personally I'm not quite that kinky (yet).Jude Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255073034338282041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-35503014065160758962011-10-07T07:54:39.932+01:002011-10-07T07:54:39.932+01:00Jude

It's not his involvement in the IRA that is the issue, it his refusal to distance him from the criminality of the IRA since the rolling back of UK occupation in the North. The Jerry McCabe murder and his defence of the murderers is not acceptable. As a leader of the country it would offend me to think that he would not condemn those actions which were carried out in a blatant act of armed robbery. The IRA of the past twenty years are not freedom fighters, they are vigilanties who use the ideal of a united Ireland, which I would dearly love, to justify their involvement in criminal acts such as murder, robbery, extortion, intimidation and other organised criminal acts. The fact is that if McGuinness had the balls to stand up to those thugs and tell the truth about all he knows he would gain my respect and possibly my vote, but a man who does not recognise the nations police forces and army as legitimate and condones attacks on these organisations surely does not deserve to be their commander in chief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-18735511469816565002011-10-05T18:11:47.694+01:002011-10-05T18:11:47.694+01:00The real reason McGuinness won't win is that h...The real reason McGuinness won't win is that he (and you) equate the ira terrorist campaign of 1970-2005 with that that yielded independence. There was a reason they were the 'provisional' ira remember. Mmcg insistence that he never walked away from them tells me that in 2016 he'd see no reason not to honour the killers of jerry McCabe or tom Oliver alongside descendants of Dev or Collins. You know if he told the truth about his own role in the ira I think he'd win the thing!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-1667085444913441532011-10-05T17:59:05.365+01:002011-10-05T17:59:05.365+01:00Not to do with being a terrorist, to do with lying...Not to do with being a terrorist, to do with lying about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-18733506106873607052011-10-05T17:15:28.509+01:002011-10-05T17:15:28.509+01:00I,m afraid as long as Martin is perceived to be ec...I,m afraid as long as Martin is perceived to be economical with the truth journalists are going to keep after him.
