How can you know an enemy when they hide like cowards night time maneuvers we were there to supposedly keep the peace but like I said the Republicans turned against us 

You sound like a sore loser.  

Peace was the winner and may peace be with you.

For over 22 years there has been peace and stability in the Northern Ireland 

Now a stupid and incompetent man with his side kick who is even more stupid and more so a dangerous influence have decided to reck this hard fought for agreement just because they have promised they pay masters that they will deliver a no deal Brexit 

Good folks of England and Wales were duped by these two criminals and voted them in power now the real truth is coming home to roost 

The Brexit is not about taking control and having your own rules, far from it 

It was all done by the super rich who financed it to the tune of millions to ensure there is no deal 

And they will run with making 10 times more than what they put in, as Britain will become an off shore tax heaven benefiting these super rich and taking away from the rest of us how easily tricked good folks of England are that could not see a charlatan called BOJO by using a simple sentence like “let’s get Brexit done” managed to get 80 seat majority in the parliament 

Well people of Britain deserve what’s coming they should have known better to elect such charlatan as the country’s lea

No I’m not a sore loser, I’m a realist, but of course I’m very happy that there is peace.

Keep safe everyone

Coincidentally, there is a programme just starting on RTÉ tv in Ireland called “Unquiet Graves”. It’s partly about collusion between British forces and Loyalist paramilitaries. No country  has a monopoly on virtue - we all have elements of our history that we should regret.

Come on look at the 5 ex Prime ministers not even worth a comment useless lot.

Indeed?  Five people who managed to get the top job in the UK, and they're a useless lot compared to  the current PM who negotiated and cited the WT as 'oven-ready' and brilliant, and now intends to renege on it  and blame the 'forringers' who want to' carve-up our country'. 

It's one thing to be duped by someone, it is of a different order to dupe yourself.  People want to hear a story they like the sound of - often one that rings close to a notion or a dearly held belief  they prefer - one arrived at wholly irrespective of facts to the contrary.  This is why propaganda works.  The sellers of snake-oil only have to convince people to buy what they want to buy anyway. 

The Guardian's Rafael Behr and Polly Toynbee give an interesting perspective:

Have you ever served as a soldier during the troubles, were you present when the Paras were fired on, on that unfortunate day.

You see the problem is people believe what some Lawyers report after a one sided investigation.

If you didnt serve you dont really know what happens when shots are fired by the IRA,the firearms are given to children and women who then leave the scene and then of course the Paras opened fire on unarmed civilians. You believe what you want.

i have friends who served...said the same thing...they were sneaky...

I suppose your statement goes both ways but that’s why we are all entitled to an opinion, wether we agree with yours or not, you may not be right because you believe you are.
