The Guardian is a Disgrace

I urge you to sit down and move anything light enough to throw out of the way before reading the rest of this post.

Words fail me and normally I would resort to swearing but I simply cannot muster the words to describe my outrage at the Guardian for giving Gerry Adams a platform to make cheap political capital and Gerry Adams.

Crosses 006 The Guardian is a Disgrace

To quote the article (which I note hasn’t got comments switching on)

On the way home someone had placed hundreds of little name plaques along the grass verge at the side of the road outside Dungiven. The names were of hundreds of citizens killed by the British army and other state forces here during the conflict, including the 11 from Ballymurphy.

Cameron should know they and their families continue to be denied truth. His apology for Bloody Sunday was right. But he said that “Bloody Sunday is not the defining story of the service the British army gave in Northern Ireland from 1969-2007.”

That is wrong.

Bloody Sunday is the defining story of the British army in Ireland.

Hundreds of citizens eh Gerry, how about the 2057 citizens killed by republican terrorist groups or the 1,123 citizens of the security forces killed. Let’s not even go into the torture and beatings.

I don’t often quote Wikipedia but I thought a screen grab would speak volumes

How much does Gerry Adams get paid from the taxpayer.

More than the average soldier, thats for certain.

    Just read the article. I see comments are now switched on. Feel free to add yours, but judging by the main flow, it’d be mostly “I agree with speaker 14″, as a majority of the commentors regard Adams as a reprehensible demagogue.
