GUILTY TILL PROVEN GUILTY



So, self-confessed IRA Commander Martin McGuinness springs to the defence of the IRA when they are caught red-handed in a brutal kidnap attempt. No surprise there then. Yet McGuinness was deemed fit enough to run the Education system in Northern Ireland during the First Assembly. Reading his pathetic excuse making for the IRA one cannot avoid concluding that democracy in Northern Ireland is doomed if it ever permits such a person to hold any office in any political institution. And yet, his risible apologia will be accepted in establishment quarters, people will think "Well, at least the IRA were only kidnapping" and the rotten business of appeasement will continue.
