Indeed, how many former Provo prisoners, now Sinn Fein politicians, themselves in the Maze cheered the murders of prison officers?
Yet, while they posture to be seen to condemn the latest murder, they utter not one word of regret or rebuke for the murders of their ‘inextricably linked’ IRA.
It is such hypocrisy at the top and heart of government which many of us find nauseating.
