    They are suing Adams for nominal damages of £1 in a case that is expected to last seven days.

    what’s the goal of this case?

      Generally true of people whose family get killed. They never usually are expected to “let it go” and forget about it without justice.

        If the whole works agreed tomorrow that we’re forgiven all our grievances handed down to us from generations ago. The world would suddenly be so peaceful

        lol fuck off unionist. if the Brits gave us our land back these people wouldn’t have died. your lot killed many more civilians during the troubles than Republicans did too, hypocrite. how do you think their families feel seeing the Brits give amnesty to the perpetrators?

                sorry but centering the families of IRA victims while talking about “justice” is just cynical unionist shit. i don’t have to be polite to someone doing that. the Brits are responsible for these deaths. if you’re not also banging the drum even harder about the (vastly more numerous) victims of unionist forces in the north, dead because of senseless violence that the British government still endorses through granting amnesty to the perpetrators, you’re just carrying water for unionists in bad faith. like until Ireland is reunified I don’t want to hear another peep about jean mcconville or whatever, literally don’t give a shit. one side used children as human shields during the troubles and it wasn’t the IRA.
