Sir, – Isn’t it interesting how we castigate Sinn Féin, label them with the “whiff of cordite”, deem them unsuitable for government, and all that for the actions of the PIRA some decades ago, whilst ignoring their unequivocal commitment to the peace process (in action as well as in words) and while somehow failing to apply the same standard to the British government, not to mention the unionist parties affiliated with the terrorist gangs of the Troubles?
What do you suppose that is all about?
– Yours, etc,
