No point going unless Harris is there for a bit of pantomime hissing and booing. Can't see him turning up for this type of thing.

I'm sure he'll review it or comment on it sometime. Depending.

borgonovo is an interesting character, he wrote a book about florrie o'donoughue some time ago, its fairly sympathetic to him - maybe overly so

If its anything like Ballymurphy and the Irish War it will be excellent.

Looks like Borgonovo isn't actually speaking at this. He was just passing on details. A pity, as he's a good speaker.
