100% wrong. You must deal with reality to negotiate a peace. The other parties do not accept that they are terrorists, more likely that you are an occupier of their country. And in the case of Ballymurphy and Bloody Sunday what else would they do but flock to the republican flag. Blair provided the solution, he talked to the 'terrorists'. The result 20 years of peace and prosperity in NI. Tory governments prolonged the troubles for over 20 years they wore not even in contact. A further look at the troubles on iplayer will probably give you a quite different view of the pulp you were fed over NI.
Only in your blinkered eyes Steely. Come along to a Vets gathering & try to put that POV across & see what response you get(i'll have my ear-plus handy). bLIAR was, is & always will be a traitor in the Vets eyes for what he has done to those that served on the orders of various Govts. He talked to them, he colluded with them & he alone gave them the 'letters of comfort' enabling them immunity from prosecution
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The Tories were actually in contact with the IRA during Thatcher's time. And when you say Blair 'talked' to the IRA far nearer to the truth is that he capitulated to them. As previous posters have stated our troops have been betrayed. That is my understanding, that the Thatcher government always had an open channel with the IRA.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

According to the troubles series on BBC iplayer there was no contact for 20 years and one had to be engineered at a trade fair to promote Irish trade here.

You are the blinkered one, living in your colonel blimp world of tory unreality. TB does not claim glory for himself over NI, he merely states that the people really wanted peace and he was able to help. Unlike the Conservative Party.

The right policy, my God, you are actually condoning giving terrorists immunity from prosecution because of what that traitor bLIAR has done, while giving the very same terrorists leave to prosecute Veterans for something that happened 40 years ago. Jeez thank God I got out of the UK with people like you around. BTW, gonna disappoint you, I'm NOT a Tory, never have been, never will be. Never label me, you dont know me.

the main movers & shakers in N.I. had seen the ethnic War in the Balkans and thought....no thanks. We cannot win outright, lets negotiate with the other side.

I was under the impression that the IRA was riddled with informants. They knew the game was up and came to the table. Steeleye seems to forget that it was the Tories, particularly John Major who began the negotiations and smoothed the way for Blair to get the agreement signed.

20 Years? That doesn't even make sense....Thatcher wasn't interested in giving NI away over time (which has happened) but of course there was contact...it was just kept quiet but Major was known to be negotiating. The days where the BBC were impartial reporters of the truth are long behind us. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Jan 2022 4.21am)

Blair is an internationalist, like his party, and those people have no national loyalty until appeals to unity politically suit them....in reality they bat for whatever side they like.

Plenty of pain and sorrow on all sides Steeleye, plenty of people doing bad stuff, on all sides. My ager evaporated the day the queen, dressed in green , bowed her head at the republican memorial in Dublin, she is the head of the military- well played your majesty- what a lady!This had conitations all around the country and did more for relations than you could imagine.
