The queen to meet former IRA member today

[Richie]

Today the queen is going to northern Ireland to meet Martin Mcguinness, former IRA member. I don't think there will be live coverage, even sky news seems to be finding it hard to get access. Should be an interesting historic moment.

Hope Martin McGuinness shakes hands with the Queen with a jokeshop buzzer. Nothing breaks the tension like an old woman ******** her pants.

Hats off to Martin McGuinness, I always find it difficult to make smalltalk with old folk, especially when I've blown up their cousin.

[lawrawrrr]

and that my friends, is why i despise frankie boyle.

An absolute disgrace, especially with Her Majesty losing her cousin Lord Mountbatten to the IRA scum (yes, there really is no better word to describe) and then having to shake hands with a murderer simply because her weak governments have allowed these people into government in Northern Ireland (even though they are incapable of winning elections there, thus have to resort to the killing of innocents).

Personally i'd like to see Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams, convicted IRA criminals and Unionist terror groups all thrown in prison for what they have done like we would expect of any country which follows the rule of law.

Is this sarcasm? I really do hope so, but at the risk of this being a genuine comment - yeah, i'll freely admit that I find the killing of innocent people (bombs in shopping centres for example) is absolutely disgusting whether it comes from the IRA or the few terrorist Unionist groups that did the same to Catholic areas in Northern Ireland. I think those who kill others ought to be punished in a society which has any respect for human life or basic law.

The fact anyone has to resort to killing innocent people who have nothing to do with the politics of the conflict show what a cowardly group of men and women they are.
