Whatever Martin McGuinness may have done since the IRA ceased its terror campaign, not once did he apologise to the families of those murdered during that campaign. He talked of his war being over. Well, maybe, but for those left behind, the whereabouts of the disappeared will never be over. The pain of loss still lingers and will continue to do so for those who had their loved ones brutally murdered by McGuinness and his accomplices. The IRA was not an army; it was a violent criminal gang that waged murder and mayhem on innocent civilians. And, frankly, its ranks got off too damned lightly after the vile murders they committed.
Peace talks, though, I can understand. Reconciliation is always a good thing. But ultimately, it needs for those responsible to own up to it and say “sorry”. Only then can forgiveness be deserved. McGuinness has never said “sorry” – nor has that other insincere apologist for murder; Gerry Adams. So, yeah, I’m with Katie Hopkins and Norman Tebbit on this one.
I do hope the Devil has a long spoon.

As NT says, I hope Martin McGuiness will be parked in a particularly hot and unpleasant corner of hell for the rest of eternity.
I cannot reconcile his evil deeds with his so called “peace” initiative. It is an inexcusable position we find ourselves in via the MSM that we should honour his achievements against the lives he destroyed. Not being a leftie I can’t rejoice in his demise (unlike their attitude to Thatcher) but being a human being, I am happy that his pernicious piece of terrorist excrement is finally buried.
I always suspected that he was the FRU mole that they burned “Steakknife” to protect. It could have been Adams, I suppose.
Let me see now…
Start a terrorist war, pursue it ruthlessly murdering thousands of innocents, find out after years of attrition and atrocities that you have no hope of winning (Ireland is still not united, and never was except under British rule) so you finally decide to negotiate a “Peace”. Get hailed as a peacemaker who can walk on water and butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth… Oh and don’t forget to collect your salary and pension from your old enemies.
Burn in Hell you utter bastard McGuinness!
