i meant that program, it sounded as if he was talking to the irish, thus everything being "PC'd" over and polished with a green shine.
Well it wouldn't susprise me. That was David Hume giving that talk and while he knows what hes talking about I feel that he does lean towards an irish identity. There are many now who have come out of the woodwork since the signing of that 'agreement'. Before that they mostly kept a low profile waiting till they felt there was no threat to them taking the irish road. McGrath was the man who pushed this a lot and there was talk of him being a British agent. If this was true its understandable why he pushed the irish line at the goverments behest.
I remember reading in the paper about a fella who was found dead during the troubles. The paper said that police knew that he had went into different bars in the east loudly proclaiming that he was Irish. They were following up this line of enquiry as a possible reason for his murder. Never read anything after that. He was just another victim of the troubles but it does show in a way what the feeling was in those days among loyalists and how it has and is being changed today. If that was the reason for his death, I don't advocate anything like that. I just mention it to show the big 'sea change' which has happened.
I was talking to a fella a couple of weeks ago (didn't really know him) but he had been on the parade. He said he goes to Irish dancing. Now whether he does or not I don't know. But thats what he said. He seemed serious enough.
