    No offence intended, but the article is almost three years old.

    The Mike Davis book is supposed to be an excellent work of history.

    Sure why? We've got our journalists, politicians and general media covering it up for them.

    Says a lot for what type of people we have become, are you surprised that the British can plant no warning bombs in Dublin, murdering many Irish people yet we cover it up for them. If you dont face up too your history it will one day come back and bite you. One wonders how long it will take before we are subjected again; silly me, sure 20% of us still are..

    That woman is one waste of space - if the Irish were Black she'd be hopping all over the place.
