That really is the point. I support NI being part of the Union. Doesn’t automatically mean I support act’s of violence by loyalist terrorist groups even though I share one view with their members. Like you say, all terrorism is bad.
We're supposed to have moved on from that too. Possibly Major's greatest legacy, although he doesn't really get the credit.
Maybe, I would like an apology for being called a "taig" though
How about take the compromise of it being left from now on, and everyone's happy.
I know I’ll always respect Major for the ceasefire and laying the foundations for the GFA. I was in NI for a couple of weeks during the first summer of the ceasefire and it felt like a weight had been lifted off the shoulders of NI. I was there for the 12th (went to visit family, not specifically there for the 12th it just happened to coincide), got well and truly drunk, watched the marching, cheered the family band, went to enniskillen to go clubbing with a gang of cousins. It was great until one cousin (female) who hadn’t entered into the spirit of the ceasefire as much as everyone else there decided to fight a catholic (also female). The RUC (now PSNI) turned up and I was surprised by their response. Even 2 years earlier we all would have been arrested (probably taken a few hits in the process) and spent the night in the cells. Instead they diffused the situation and even arranged taxis to get everyone involved out of there so the situation didn’t escalate. It was the first time I truly believed that the piece process was going to work. I think the argument had burnt itself out and people on all sides were ready for change. That was the genius of Major, he read the situation brilliantly, used statesmanship to offer a vision, put his big boy pants on and got all sides talking while arranging a long-standing ceasefire in the process. I still think it’s the best example of political craft I’ve seen in my lifetime and I think it always will be.
Turns out Tarry wasn't sacked for joining a picket line but in fact for the interview he gave where he went against labour policy,
It's a different conversation to be had there but the difference is important
Keir Starmer’s sacking of Sam Tarry a severe mistake, says John McDonnell

Major is a good man, not all tories are cunts. Just the current mob and Maggie Thatcher
It’s hard to see a Major in the current bunch. Rory Stewart was probably the closest but he was too intelligent for the current Tory party.
I know two head teachers and they have real visions for their schools it’s why they are excellent

I'm not comfortable about space disappearing, though. A radical solution would be to classify some town and city areas as a greenbelt equivalent, increase the number of public green spaces available within them, rather than dispense with a greenbelt. It's also about keeping certain identities, so communities don't get subsumed into the whole (as, indeed, has happened in places like Foleshill).
so has she done what sam tarry did? you need to get over her
If you look at our population compared to France and Spain, however... (OOIC was that England density, as that's where it mostly is) then we certainly are.
Are the schools part of big trusts? There are so many schools that are hamstrung being part of them.
I changed your name to David O'Taig . Would you like an apology .
How about O'Twat ?Fucking hell, you absolute pillock. Does it make you big, does it make you clever to keep going? Is this what you'd teach in school? Or maybe he shuts up, you shut up.I changed your name to David O'Taig . Would you like an apology .
Sorry for calling you David O' Taig.
How's that then?
You're still an IRA sympathiser though. Always will be .

Shame the solution means speaking to the French really
Oh, compare Binley, Walsgrave, Foleshill etc to 50 years ago, even. Things close up, cultures become more subsumed. That's to be avoided continuing really. The creep happens with Binley and Binley Woods next.
Once upon a time, it was all fields(!) And of course yeah, you're on the edge of it it becomes elitest, but then Binley etc were on the edge of it not so long ago.

They are both in coventry and part of wider trusts
you have every right to do so, just wondered what the link between the 2 was
