    There's a 2001 documentary on UA-cam called Provos: Endgame (4 of 4) (Peter Taylor, 2001, BBC) in which Brendan Hughes is interviewed. He says he thinks the war is over and has run its course (47:17). Yet Gerry Adams seems to think Hughes was an opponent of the peace process. In Voices from the Grave, Hughes admits to ordering the bombings in Belfast city centre on Bloody Friday, but claims that there was no intention to kill anyone [sic]. If he was not only in a position to order those bombings but also capable of trying to dodge moral responsibility for the inevitable deaths, perhaps he was also in a position to order Jean McConville's killing then capable of pinning the blame on Gerry Adams, knowing that even if Adams knew it was Hughes, he couldn't say so, because by doing so he would have to admit knowledge of IRA operations. ???

      Gerry Adams is accused of absolutely everything bad that happened in Ireland. It would be impossible for one person to do all the Gerry Adams is accused of doing. Brendan Hughes, by his own words had serious mental health issues after years of imprisonment under horrible circumstances, and by his own words he suffered from paranoia believing that many of his former comrades were now British agents. While he never said the same about Gerry Adams, it is clear that Adams was one of the people among many that Hughes distanced himself from. Along with Brendan Hughes Dolours Price also suffered from mental health issues and for reasons unknown developed a dislike for Adams. It is possible, knowing how badly these two suffered that they cannot be taken as absolutely accurate without other evidence of Gerry Adams misdeeds. I have seen so many attempts to utterly destroy Adams that I agree with Bernadette McAliskey that we are sick beyond sanity of hearing how bad he is. At the time she mentioned Martin McGuiness along with Adams in the same vein, but. since Mr McGuiness tragically died, he is forgiven and only Adams is maligned in this fashion.

    but none of these were being done by the NI government if the british government had been able to control their soldiers there would have been no need for the violence on the level that there was and if they had been able to control there police for and protect catholics then there would have been no need for the IRA, if the british government had prevented bloody sunday if they hadn't have introduced internment, then maybe. As it stood the irish simply seen it as fighting violence with violence

Mostly, they have left a country where they did not feel welcome. In the modern day, many Protestants fear a similar process would happen in our province were we all banded together. Common Republican slogans like ''Brits Out!'' do little to reassure us of benign intent, given that we are the 'brits'.

Before this, Ireland was irish, United. Ireland remained under British rule until 1922, until we got our independence. The conclusion to this is, ye were irish in before 1171 during 1171 and after 1171. For example, if Germany decided tomorrow to invade ireland and keep it as one of their own, would that make is German? of course not. obviously this is an unrealistic example due to the circumstances but the principle still stands.

    Protestants started moving to Ireland, and specifically the north, 1600s and pre. At that time, over 4 centuries ago, there were mass population movements, settlements and colonisations going all over the world, especially from areas of higher population density to lower, and in those days in many places the instruments of state were not as strong as they are today or didn't exist at all,so the new and settled communities made their own laws and structures. In fact all parts of the world, including Britain and Southern Ireland, and Italy, and Spain, and Germany...were at some time or another subject to new settlers. That's how Ireland got 'Christianised' in the first place. Stop blaming and appreciate that all have a legitimate right to exist and work to create a new Ireland/NI.
