The IRA have announced that they are to merge with other dissident republican groups, for too long we have been lied to that the IRA had disarmed and moved on, well they haven`t.

The IRA was a nationalist organisation, a small minority of whose members flirted with authoritarian socialism... nationalism + socialism... national socialism... who did the IRA ally with during WW2? Adolf Hitler's NATIONAL SOCIALIST party that's who! FUCK THE IRA

Secondly this was mainstream news when it was announced in July so we've hardly "been lied to" - well about this at least.
While I'm inclined to agree with 'Troll Hunter' with respect to some of the politics of the IRA it was (for a brief period) a genuine national liberation movement with obvious parallels in Palestine, Western Sahara, the Basque region etc. I think it's perfectly justifiable to support these causes generally while also opposing nationalism, otherwise we can remain ideologically pure and alone.
Basically 'anon' this isn't exactly news and you've miss understood it anyway.

You should read up on the history of provos and you'd be fucking amazed, they' were the strongest guerilla organisation in europe, up against one of the strongest security forces in the western world.
neither side could beat the other, but the Brits couldn't leave they're barracks in South Armagh for a stroll, without getting murdered (haha), and even they're helicopters were getting shout of the sky.
I got a lot of protestant family over there, but I don't sympathise with them one bit!, my uncle's house got blown up cause he was a prison screw, (only about 15 years ago), my old man was in a Saracen and his mate got his brains blown out by a sniper right next to him, but my old man still says,
"we shouldn't of been there in the first place.."
Brits (including the leftwingers) are too lazy to read up on history. being Catholic ain't about a religion its a symbol of being part of a culture than ain't British.

The Claudy bombing occurred on 31 July 1972, when three car bombs exploded mid-morning on the Main Street of Claudy in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The attack killed nine civilians, and became known as "Bloody Monday". Those who planted the bombs had attempted to send a warning before the explosions took place. The warning was delayed, however, because the telephones were out of order due to an earlier bomb attack. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) issued an immediate denial of responsibility, and later claimed that "an internal court of inquiry" had found that its local unit did not carry out the attack.
On 24 August 2010, following an eight-year investigation, the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland published a report into the bombing, which stated that the Royal Ulster Constabulary believed in the early 1970s that Father James Chesney, a local Roman Catholic priest, was the IRA's quartermaster and Director of Operations in South Derry. The report found that the possibility of his involvement in activities including the Claudy bombing was covered up by senior police officers, government ministers and the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
