    I thought the last hanging was back in the 60's or something.... And how is that even possible, when EU law prohibits death sentences?
    1997, I thought I was out of touch, lol. It wasn't official obviously.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Haha yeah... I'm still living in the good ol' days of 2003, back when I was innocent to the horrors of the world... Anyway, care to expand? How, who and why? My google-fu isn't of much use...

    I heard of a particularly rabid anti-peace agreement unionist being knifed or something in an alley, with stories going around of the authorities giving his killers the go ahead on the understanding that there would be a blind eye turned to it. Dunno if that's what Rhyfelwyr is referring to.

    Well that's happened on countless occasions, I'm talking about actively taking part in the murders. The case I am talking about is that of Billy Wright.

    Every time I read about NI, I feel the west looses a bit more of its moral high ground in its dealings with "primitive violence" elsewhere in the world....

    The difference with, say, Iraq, is about as low as it can get.

    The discourse in the backroom has sunk so very low from it's heyday about 8-9 years ago.

    However this thread is priceless, on the same level as that Backtia thingy. Except that was funny.

    This is just pointless and sad.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    It's unfair to tar all the contributors with that, a number of people have tried to make reasoned posts.

    The bactia thing was a hoot, I concur.

    I too miss Red Harvest and Gawain and Tribesman bashing heads...quite fun. Red drifted off after Katrina, Gawain never really got back into it after his brother was murdered (r/l) and Tribes got the boot somehow (self?)....sad

    We really need to reform our youth setup. We haven't had any decent youngsters in years.
