I FEEL truly sorry for the 90 per cent of Northern Ireland people who don't belong to Loyalist or Republican terrorist organisations and only want to live in peace. But did anyone seriously expect the Unionists to honour the Good Friday agreement?

The really disgusting thing is that the people of England have been paying the Unionist and Republican politicians good wages for more than 12 months for nothing. I hope, but doubt, that they are made to pay them back.

The people of England have been very patient and tolerant over Ireland, but the time has now come to say enough is enough and withdraw all aid until they come to their senses.

Aid to Serbia is to be withheld until the people get rid of Milosovic, so why can't all aid be withheld from Ireland until its people get rid of all their intransigent representatives?
