    "SILENCE!

    The Sindo should let people vote for who they want.

    It's owner clearly has an agenda, and has been knighted.

    Dennis O'Brian has been knighted?

    Every Mandela thread has been turned in to a Sinn Feinn appreciation thread by the usual suspects, so it's an easy mistake to make.

    Gerry Adams and Nelson Mandela?

    They have the same number of arms, legs and ears. That's where the similarity ends.

    Someday you may change your opinion on the man Fred.

    Like David Cameron did for example. (Hang Mandela)

    Was odd watching him at the memorial yesterday considering his past conduct and opinions towards him.

    Nope, my mind is made up on him. He will never be able to achieve a tenth of what Mandela has because his was an entirely different goal.

    Did Cameron ever call for Mandela to be hung?

    He had links with the Federation of Conservative Students, which produced the "Hang Mandela" posters.

    I can't think of a single thing more annoying than having to listen to Adams pontificate on our airwaves.

    I'd be interested to know what you feel he should have done, considering police pretty much ignored the complaints of the girl when she first confided in them. They were more interested in asking the victim questions about Gerry than actually deal with the woman's abuse complaint.

    I haven't really followed that story but I'm pretty sure he testified in court against his brother... once the case was finally treated with the gravity it deserved by authorities.

    He did testify all right. The problem there was denying he'd seen the brother in years, photos online shows Liam canvassing with him in 2007 IIRC plus thanking Liam in one of his more recent books.

    Gerry wasn't in the RA but if he was fairplay, nothing wrong with fighting against anti-Irish Queen worshipers. Also ya have to laugh at the West Brit crew on boards... This ones for ye

    If BILE was in the commodities futures ...... ye would cause a crash by flooding the market.

    Brush up on the auld history lads and don't be so blinkered.

    Imperial masters have been kicked out a multitude of times in history.
    Were John Locke and Thomas Paine wrong in their writings?

    Were the good burghers of Blighty right to fight back (and kill :)) the Romans when they invaded, the Germanic tribes when they came uninvited, the Vikings as they sailed gracefully around the coast, Scots, Normans et al.? Or should they have turned turtle like a host of (presumably Irish) posters in here?

    Do ye hold the same venom for the US after they kicked ye out? Or to Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, China and the rest? Even The (now) Rusty Lady's idea of holding on to Hong Kong got the fingers and signalled the end of an evil empire that butchered so many people and enslaved countless millions. Something to be really proud of. However, you reap what you sow and the chickens are coming home, big time.

    That is straight to the point.

    No Fred. It is your tinnitus

    We are talking about whether Adams is a Freedom Fighter or Terrorist. Please read OP's headline :)

    And what's with the (.) key in your keyboard? A secret code?
