Re: Good riddance to bad rubbish
My belief only mine, if someone has committed awful acts but when peace has been achieved, is then elected to represent their people we have to try to forgive and move on. It won't help peace in ni to continually look back at what has been done.Would I be happier for only angels in political positions of power ? Of course but it's never going to happen especially in a place where people have been either at war or fighting violently for their point of view.
The worlds a messy place in that way we often have to deal with people make us shudder but if we want peace it has to be done.
I say that as a person nearly lost her beloved grandfather in the Guildford pub bombing, and who held her sobbing cousin when he came back from a military tour of NI.

Mcguiness and Adams make me shudder every time I see them on my television screen smiling,shaking hands with our politicians, taking their fat cat salaries but refusing to attend Parliament (no loss), knowing full well they will never be rid of the stain on their souls in the role they both played in the wholesale slaughter of many innocent people, starting with our troops (who are now on the receiving end of a witch hunt,) and the many innocent pub goers, shoppers and tourists both here and N.Ireland. The list is endless.I find it hard to believe that Mcguiness will ever return, he does look ill. I only hope that peace remains in N.Ireland and the DUP and Sein Fein can work together. It defies belief that this resignation by Mcguiness is not over a new outbreak of violence but his claim that it is over a disastrous renewable energy scheme by the DUP costing the Irish taxpayers a further 1 billion pounds. Whereas the DUP are saying he has resigned because he is not getting his way of dragging up the past by putting our troops in the docks for what happened during the troubles.
Normally, I am not a vindictive person. If someone is genuinely ill, even if I dislike them I can always find some humanity in my heart to feel some sympathy for them, but not Mcguiness, and not Adams. I can never find it in my heart to forgive either of them.
He will not be missed. In my opinion they should both be languishing in a prison for life, not retiring with no doubt a fat pension. It just doesn't seem right.

That's a lesson I learned a while ago and it frees you to grieve and then remember the person for who they were not as a victim of a dreadful criminal act.

However, Julie is a genuine sweetie and can find either good, or light at the end of the tunnel with most things, so I understand her comments.
What's boiled my pee quite frankly is UJ stating "My Mate" when referring to MMG.
I rarely see eye to eye with UJ anyway, but to me this sinks to a new low when you consider MMG's past.
I am utterly astonished and appalled at his comment.
