Just thought i would share with you what i sent to that B*llocks web site:
"Have you asked yourself why he was in prison in the first place?? He was a convicted terrorist. Would you feel the same way if one of the terrrorists who caused 9/11 were in jail now on hunger strike.
They were murderers, just like bobby sands. Why should the government give them special privlages as political prisoners???? balls. You don't say anything of the sort about the prsoners interned at Guantanamo Bay, do you ???

On a historical note.....hurumph, rhubarb, rhubarb. I noticed, in earlier posts referral to "Tims". Did you know.. that the word Tims, and the extended version the "Timaloys" (various spellings known) comes from the name of the "leader aff" of a Glasgow gang called Tim Malloy. His gang was called the "Norman Conks" (from Norman Street) and was set up of , mainly catholics. The purpose of the gang was to combat the rival, mainly protestant, gang the "Billy Boys" whose "leader aff" was Billy MacKay. Hence the term referring to battles between Tims and Billys and not, as is widely believed, to do with King William of Orange. (Though Billy MacKay was often called "King" Billy).
How does he know all this I hear you gasp? Cos my grandaddy had a pub in the East end and it was Tim Malloys' local (apparently)
Please tune in for next weeks enthralling piece of useless information!
