Our Politicians..........

Martin McGuinness has said he would have killed every British soldier in Londonderry in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, if he had had the opportunity. The deputy first minister and Sinn Fein assembly member was speaking during an interview on RTE on Saturday. "If I had of had the opportunity to kill every single British soldier that was on the streets of Derry I would have killed every single one of them without any difficulty whatsoever."

A few weeks ago McGuinness said this when talking about soap opera's on T.V. "I am appalled at the drunkenness that is quite clear for everybody to see and all of that before the nine o'clock watershed when children as young as eight, nine, 10 and 11 are watching..... I regard that as irresponsible broadcasting and I think something should be done about it."

I love that he is appalled at drunkenness yet not so bothered by the admission of wanting to kill every British Soldier in Derry. Whilst not wanting to get into politics or what is now the history of this nation, i cannot let the opportunity pass without saying that McGuinness is a former terrorist member of the I.R.A. who has never denied his involvement with terrorism and who is apparently quite proud of the part he played in "The Troubles"

Now, i do not deny that people change, change is good after all but sometimes our politicians should think a little about their past actions and comments before they speak.
