The British government says that for Sinn Fein to be involved in talks the guns must be left at the door.

I haven't done anything that I'm ashamed of.

But the fact is that the vast majority of Republicans support the Sinn Fein leadership.

That's healthy and good for us that there are people who are prepared to question what we are doing.

British rule depends upon repression and collaboration and the Irish people should recognise that those who collaborate with Britain in exchange for a slice of the cake will implement British policy and remain silent when Irish people are murdered and oppressed. It is they who are responsible for prolonging the war in Ireland. Without the quislings, without the collaborators, we would already have reached freedom.

Well I think it has always been a mistake to reduce the peace process in Ireland to a decommissioning process.

The fact is that a car used by Gerry Adams and myself during the course of the Mitchell review was bugged by elements within British military intelligence.
