I previously supported SDs based on their transparency policy. I'm not impressed that it turns out the greens used to use activists to poll the electorate, but there's still a difference between using activists and making fake Ids and lying to people. Anyone that doesn't see this has questionable morals/ethics. But then I'm probably in the wrong thread if I'm looking for morality.

What I get from some of the posters here is the same hatred and it actually stumps me. But it doesn't surprise me. I sold AP/RN in bars during the war and the same ilk spit at us and removed us from bars while loyalists were attacking CNR community there own countrymen. I believe some here need to take their heads from the sand.

At Gillespie's funeral, Bishop Edward Daly said the IRA and its supporters were "the complete contradiction of Christianity. They may say they are followers of Christ. Some of them may even still engage in the hypocrisy of coming to church, but their lives and their works proclaim clearly that they follow Satan"

The only Oglaigh na hEireann that exists is the Irish defense forces. People who think otherwise are engaging is ISIS levels of denialism and fantasy land stuff.

Coshquin Edit The Coshquin operation involved 11 members of the IRA's Derry City Brigade.[10] RUC Special Branch had received some intelligence about the operation,[11] but it was said to be only a "vague outline" of an "impending assault against a base" in the area.[10] A Catholic, Patrick Gillespie, 42, who lived in the Shantallow area of Derry and worked as a cook at the Fort George British Army base in the city, had been warned to stop working at the base or risk reprisal. On one occasion, the IRA had forced him to drive a bomb into the base, giving him just enough time to escape. However, that bomb had failed to detonate.[11] On 24 October 1990, members of the IRA's Derry City Brigade took over Gillespie's house.[12] While his family was held at gunpoint, he was forced to drive his car to a rural spot on the other side of the Irish border in County Donegal.[12] Gillespie was then put in a van loaded with 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of explosives, chained to the seat to prevent his escape and told to drive to the Coshquin permanent border checkpoint on Buncrana Road.[11][12] An armed IRA team followed him by car to ensure that he obeyed their commands.[10] Four minutes from the checkpoint, the IRA team armed the bomb remotely.[10] When Gillespie reached the checkpoint, at 3:55 AM,[10] he tried to get out and warn the soldiers, but the bomb detonated when he attempted to open the door.[11] IRA bomb makers had installed a detonation device linked to the van's courtesy light, which came on whenever the van door opened. As a safeguard, the bombers also used a timing device to ensure that the bomb detonated at the right moment.[11] Gillespie and five soldiers were killed,[12] including Kingsman Stephen Beacham, Vincent Scott, David Sweeney, Paul Worrall and Lance Corporal Stephen Burrows, from D (Support) Company of the 1st Battalion the King's Regiment. Witnesses reported hearing "shouting, screaming and then shots" right before the explosion.[10] The bomb devastated the base, destroying the operations room and a number of armoured vehicles. It was claimed that the death toll would have been much higher had the soldiers not been sleeping in a recently built mortar-proof bunker.[10] The blast damaged 25 nearby houses.[12] At Gillespie's funeral, Bishop Edward Daly said the IRA and its supporters were "the complete contradiction of Christianity. They may say they are followers of Christ. Some of them may even still engage in the hypocrisy of coming to church, but their lives and their works proclaim clearly that they follow Satan".[13]
