Northern Irish citizens were also denied housing rights and jobs by the Protestant apartheid state - that was actively backed by the British state.

And yes smart arse, I have been to Ireland, I have lived in the north, I do "know" people there. Some of them are even my relatives.

Knee capping is certainly brutal - if the equally brutal RUC wasn't a sectarian based organisation that had different laws for different citizens, nationalists wouldn't have had to organise into groups like the IRA.

I find it amazing that so many British people can be opposed to occupation and authoritarian behaviour when Britian itself maintains an occupation of its closest neighbour, an occupation marked by bloodshed and slaughter on a terrific scale.

Last time I was in the north - late last year - I saw that the towers filled with mikes and cameras are still there, spying on nationalist areas. The helicopters still hover a treetop height and the Loyalist murder gangs are still not being made to disarm,

So where are you based so-called Benbow? (I can almost smell the quivering chinned outrage of a Pommy from here ...)
