Gerry Adams
Met him in a local easons doing a book signing. Shook his hand and he signed a book for me. Didn't buy the book though, put back on the shelf.

Nice man, alot more hairy than i thought.

Not every day you meet an ex-IRA commander...

Did you call him an ex IRA man to his face?

No..
I value my kneecaps, may have been seen as a bit rude. One of those unspoken truths that are unspoken for a reason! :P

Anyways even if you didnt know who he was you could always guess from the people queueing up to see him, big lads in their 30's covered in tattoos wearing sleeveless tops even though it was a freezing irish winter and of course the obligatory legion of 16 year olds.

You missed a trick there, so.
I've been staggerinly rude to the man on several occassions, and always gotten away with it.

Shook his hand?
Any particular reason you shook that murdering cunts hand? What next? dinner with Gary Glitter? postal chess with the Yorkshire ripper? Next time try stabbing the cunt. I assume that you are a UK citizen (if I am wrong then I apologise for whats coming next) if that the case then its only dates that save you from being a traitor.

..
Without getting into politics, i shook his hand because he is a leading and significant historical figure.
(Komsomol, Mon 20 Apr 2009, 20:59, closed)

are you fucking joking!?
he is a leading member of the IRA council and a significant murdering bastard.

I hate how people now see him and McGuinness as the bringers of peace to N.Ireland when in fact they should be stood in the dock, charged with mass murder and locked away for life.

fact, argue all you like but you are wrong.

.
I agree with you with the point he was directly and indirectly the cause of alot of death and suffering.

Just like leading loyalist factions and the british security services were equally directly and indirectly the cause of alot of death and suffering.

Have an open mind lad, no such thing as black and white.
