So Kingsmills and Enniskillen and La Mon and Warrington and the Shankill Road and Bloody Friday and Claudy and making a human bomb out of Patsy Gillespie apparently weren't "extremist".

Imagine if somebody listed a load of Loyalist atrocities and tried to claim they weren't extremist.

Imagine the reaction.

The Loyalists give the exact same justification for their murders - "the only option".

Utter bollocks.

The twisted, sick logic of them, and of you.

Both the IRA and Loyalist carried out extremist acts in the conflict/war as do any side in a war/conflict the world over. That is the tragedy of them.

SF haven't an extremist policy of any kind now, 25 years since the agreement to end the conflict/war.

Loyalism does speak in extremist terms...just listen to some of them.

Any main party in this state could be portrayed as extremist if you want to go back far enough.

You might want to spend the weekend brushing up on Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson and their ilk, you’ll discover how many innocent people were murdered on the back of their speeches and rhetoric. Come back then restate your position.

Sinn Fein continue to glorify those who murdered during the Troubles.

Sinn Fein continue to play dumb about their knowledge of what happened in notorious post-Troubles crimes such as the murders of Robert McCartney and Paul Quinn and the Northern Bank robbery.

Sinn Fein continue to fail female victims of sexual violence at the hands of the IRA. They and their supporters treat them as a pesky inconvenience. A bit like Michaela McAreavey's murderer treated her.

Sinn Fein now threatens the freedom of the press in this state through the use of frivolous lawsuits. These are designed squarely to silence the press. That's a technique they've copied from the likes of Arron Banks. It's Viktor Orban stuff.

Sinn Fein continues to treat the public like idiots by peddling a bunch of Trump style easy answers. Polltics by soundbyte, not policy. It is not a serious political party.

Sinn Fein continues to agitate for a border poll it knows it hasn't a hope of winning, a border poll which will hasten a return to violence. The DUP and Loyalists are pure extremists as they've shown yet again over the protocol.

Sinn Fein are no different and Republicans in a wider sense are certainly no different as we saw when Lyra McKee was murdered.

Go back to the video. What was chanted about the McAreaveys was abhorrent. Other stuff Loyalists chant is abhorrent. And extremists on the other side sing similar stuff about "themmuns" all the time as well.

NI should ditch SF and the DUP. The SDLP, Alliance, Greens, moderate Unionists, these are the only people working towards constructive politics up there.

And to think, I got thread banned for one post about Biden in the Trump thread.

In fairness SF et al. don't need an extremist policy at the moment. Just sit back and watch them 'uns implode. (Although, rightly or wrongly, is it extremist to fight back with bomb and bullet when one is being burned out of one's home?)

The Orangemen who sung that song are scumbags.

The point is that posters here are trying to paint them as some unique evil when the other extreme is just as bad about singing sick, twisted songs.

The point was made by another poster that Republicans were actually delighted this video emerged because that's what they're most interested in - painting the other side as a uniquely depraved evil.

But this stuff cuts both ways.

Two sides of the same coin.

The Lord Mountbatten chant.

The "I hope you die your sleep Nacho Novo" one, a Rangers player so clearly identified with "their side".

"England you're a monster" in Roll Of Honour.

"And the natural gas will burn your ass, and blow you all to hell" in Rock On Rockall by The Wolfe Tones.

When Sinn Fein's Barry McElduff posed with a loaf of Kingsmills bread he knew exactly what he was doing and received wide apologism from the online Republican community before bowing to the inevitable and resigning.

Any number of pro-IRA songs are as toxic as the other sides' shlt.

Your glib reaction here to a litany of **** from "our side" shows you are no better than any moron from the "other side" who would defend those who sang about the McAreaveys.
