Surely nothing to do with being a monarchist or a republican, instead just being a decent human being.

Re: The return of the dissident IRA

.... And then there was Ballmurphy - yet another massacre of innocent civilians - is it any wonder why the 'Republicans' and 'Irish Nationalists' are angry and are fighting back !!!

Ballymurphy?

At worst collateral damage.

Actually the latter-day fenians had contravened at least one of The Geneva Conventions by using human shields by the very act of attacking our brave troops from within a civilian area.

Obviously people never forget the terrible things that happened (on all sides) but why start the problems up again? Surely a relative peace is better than going back to the terrible times of the seventies or perhaps you see the seventies as a good time?

Maybe not but Joe is referring to something that happened in 1971. Surely he needs to get over it.
