to what end?

So what was the point of the Savile enquiry?
Why don't you think IRA atrocities should be investigated? I don't really see how blowing up bandsmen in parks or people in pubs protects catholics from protestants.

Honestly, no-one I can think of in Britain gave a shit about Northern Ireland, no-one wanted our troops there, no-one gave a shit about the protestants and no-one would have been interested in helping the protestants kill catholics or vice-versa.
The catholic-protestant squabble is an Irish thing no-one outside Ireland gives a crap about.

The IRA were dumb enough to escalate the troubles and caused their fellow irishmen years of pain in the process.
Its a shame the SAS didn't whack Adams and McGuinness right at the start.

The point of the Savile enquiry was to establish why the instruments of the state murdered 14 innocent civilians & wounded 13 others. The people of Derry and the victims all knew the truth, and have been campaigning since the event to find justice for the innocent people murdered - for 38 years the stain of bloody Sunday officially was on the people of Derry who all this time have known the reality of what the States forces did that day. Now the whole world knows that the Stain is on the Crown Forces & no where else " unjustified and unjustifiable".   

we don't need an enquirey into say the Enniskillen bombing because we know what terrorist grouping planted it , & we certainly know the people of Enniskillen didn't plant it and then blame the IRA.

I couldn't agree more, however, the actions of a few terrorists certainly doesn't legitimate the callous indiscriminate murder of innocent Civilians by the State, nor give them the right to deliberately lie about their actions, cover up the fact, and alow the murderers to get off scot-free, so you can forget your piss poor fucking whataboutery as it doesn't hold water.

They're no better than when they were fenians. However, this is another one of those

"Your freedom fighter is my terrorist"

And vice versa.

Aalthough, I think the IRA goes way too far.

The IRA callously killed plenty of entirely blameless civilians going about their lives, they should hand themselves in.
The IRA claimed to be the legitimate military wing of a legitimate govt in exile, they should be held to the exact same standards as the British then.

aye.... in their minds maybe!!  & that's the official IRA a different organisation to the Provisional IRA which was the main grouping in the North of Ireland, besides the democratic reality is completely different, so, no is the answer to that miss guided waffle.  Again, I must say I think you do yourself a great disservice & look pretty fucking retarded with this constant trying to find some perceived equivocation between the British state & the IRA tbh.  I think the Great British people would demand that they be held to a higher standard than a terrorist organisation, especially those who served the crown forces with integrity.

We don't have to demand it, we know it.

stop posting for the sake of fucking posting

That was a splinter group.

Ironically the real IRA are the group that the above articles and lostfate mentioned, the split from the Provisional IRA who themselves split with the old IRA. Not to be mistaken from the IRA from the Republic of Irelands war of independance the majority of which went on to be called the IDF, very complicated stuff lol

There's also CIRA, INLA . . . Probably more but I cant recall
