The latest in a flurry of own goals for you Gusset.

Normally you are so very blasé about the inevitable casualties in a war and quite accepting of it as a consequence. So what made The Troubles so very different to all other conflicts that you can't rationalise its results in the same way?

The DUP want the Olympic team name changed. Finally, the mainstream media in the UK will see what they are like and what their priorities are.

We'll never die

Most soldiers are doing a job. The IRA were volunteers who weren't representing another government. I suppose I feel less charitable towards them.....However this idea that you end conflicts and everything is ok is risible. It took another generation to die before attitudes towards Germany and Japan really adapted for many.

I don't think the good Friday agreement was fair on the unionists at all. But that's a different thread. I'm not neutal between unionists and say republicans who supported murdering British soldiers. My brother did a tour over there.

There were republicans who didn't support murder as a method of advancing their aims. I have no problems with them.

I do accept that armies are there to fight and I'm not one for the modern era's view of them as window dressing.

However that doesn't mean that I don't care for their lives. When it comes to British forces lined up against those who would wish to kill them I'm not neural...sorry.

That's for you lot.

I can't decide which gave me more pleasure, Nick Clegg losing his seat or Angus Robertson.

Perfect summation of May debacle when even after losing majority that her judgment in response is still hopelessly wrong
