.....well done M'lud.

// ..cue the anti British.....//
foo yeah - lets have a count down foo again 10 ..... 9

cue the despair over TTT yarting on law when he doesnt have the first idea about it. The main evidence was declared inadmissible. It is difficult to get things declared inadmissible in English Law but they did it this time. It appears HET knew their evidence was inadmissible at the time and expected further action which did not occur. The defects could not be repaired with plasters twenty years later

( clamour of foo what admissible mean den, inadmissible I mean etc etc )

When I was doing my law finals---- the CPS was a professional graveyard. //

yikes I did my finals when they still had assizes - and the theft act was kinda new

@15.38.Is there any chance of your replies being translated into english,Peter?Am i the only one who cant make head or tail what you are on about.

[ummmm]

No...we keep telling and it makes him worse. I still don't know what 'foo' means

[anneasquith]

PP is doing no one any harm . Maybe we should remember none of us know each others life story . ( unless we have chosen to divulge it )

[THECORBYLOON]

YNNAFYMMI, you claimed, "These IRA scum barstrads murdered thousands of us Scots".

Where did you get that figure from?

[jno]

yes, as said, massive procedural irregularities by the RNP way back when. I'm sure lessons have been learnt - indeed, the judge has suggested what they might be.

[andy-hughes]

ummm - // You can't join the army and not expect conflict. //

Obviously - no point training people to kill people and then expecting them to moan when they actually have to do it - that's an understood part of signing up.

However, when it comes to being stuck in court decades after you finished your service, and prosecuted by the government of the country you signed up to defend, and got shot at doing it, I think it's reasonable for any soldier in that situation to feel singularly aggrieved and hard done to.

[ynnafymmi]

@15.52.They certainly murdered a lot of us.You are starting to sound like you are more Irish than Scottish.

[anneasquith]

From thousands , to a lot . :-)

[Everhelpful]

Well said,Anneasquith about PP, He comes over as a very intelligent man to me.

[anneasquith]

I totally agree.

[ynnafymmi]

@16.19.Even one death is one death to many.

[Atheist]

ymm.... unless it's an 'enemy' death.
That's why violence goes on - eye for eye - they are all scum and our lads are heroes. We need to work towards solutions which will result in an end to violence, not mere retaliation and hatred of the other tribe. The OP remark about anti-British says it all - we have here the English equiv of Ian Paisley; point-scoring is more important than intelligent thought; slogans more important than use of one's brain. So sad (I mean the situation, not the OP).

[ynnafymmi]

Sorry,Atheist.But you are wrong.The IRA were the equivalents of the Nazis.We smashed the Nazi scum.We let the IRA Nazis off the hook.Replace Anne Frank with Jean McConville or Lyra McKee and you will know what i mean.

[Sunk]

Tora,
Yippee!
One of those rare occasion we agree on something!!
Apart from the Judge being sensible and not just doing the inevitable

[ynnafymmi]

Well said Sunk/Gromit.But back to the original question.Is it not time the British and Irish governments start to "get right intae"these IRA scum barstards who seem to be living an easy life on us Irish and British taxpayers.The Nazi who carried out the Hyde Park bombings and the Nazi who carried out the Brighton bombing both seem to be living the live of reilly,....meanwhile their victims are lying in their graves.

[THECORBYLOON]

YNNAFYMMI, "thousands" is more than a wee bit different from "a lot". I am no fan of IRA/Sinn Féin but you are not helping your case by making spurious claims.

[piggynose]

@16.19.Even one death is one death to many.
Sorry but this doesn't make any sense.

[ynnafymmi]

Sorry,Piggy,i should have said one senseless murder is one murder to many.As for Corby,a lot of us Scots murdered in cold blood and a lot of other innocents murdered by the IRA thugs....to many to mention to be honest with you.Are you sure you are Scottish and not Irish?
