Isn’t it curious just how disinterested BBC journalists can be on certain issues? Take this; “NI’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, a former IRA member, said nobody should say or do anything which would see Northern Ireland return to its troubles. “I supported the IRA during the conflict, I myself was a member of the IRA but that war is over,” said the Sinn Fein MP.”
Well we all know that McGuinness was an IRA terrorist since has has boasted of this pedigreee but why is it that BBC journalists do not pursue the question as to what crimes he committed when in this criminal organisation? For instance, how many murders did he sanction? Did he carry any out himself or did he just instruct others? Was he involved in authorising the Claudy massacre in which 9 innocents were blown to pieces, for instance? What knowledge does he have of the crimes carried out by fellow IRA terrorists? What rank did he hold in this criminal conspiracy? Apparently NONE of this interests the fearless seekers of truth in BBC journalism so keen are they to follow the government line sanitising the past! The bias here lies in what is left unsaid, in what is not pursued. It is one of my contentions that the BBC is a rancid mouthpiece for government propaganda – so long as the government is of the left. The total BBC disinterest in the fact that the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland is a notorious terrorist makes my point. Why it’s almost as if the BBC has sympathies with Mr McGuiness.
“No, he likes to spread his bitterness towards the peace process wherever he can. Peace it seems it not enough, it must be on his terms.”
We have just seen the Real IRA terms,you obviously prefer those.
no, cos the real IRA aren’t in the peace process are they?
David Vance has been in denial about the changing nature of the IRA and Sinn Fein for years on this blog. This latest terrorism (by a separate group, a splinter group) is irrelevant to David’s denial of peace in recent years.
“no, cos the real IRA aren’t in the peace process are they? ”
Obviously not you pillock. So if all armed parties are not in the “Peace Process” it is only a partial Peace process.Let’s just call it a “Process”.
Omar, unless you live in Northern Ireland you wouldn’t have a clue about the so called “changing nature” (an absolute lie) of the IRA and of the abhorrence that is the terrorist rewarding “peace process”.
