Presuming they are able to talk about an incident where people were literally burned alive.

Saffers is just wrong on this. That’s terror.

you will pay the price if you insist on ordering flaming sambucas.

On a similar note - and following a recent Fred discussion on the topic - the alleged REAL Birmingham bombers were named today.

But no, not terrorism.

When an oppressed population are forced to resort to armed struggle there are inevitably going to be incidents, accidents and tragedies when an untrained, unresourced, amateur civilian group take to the field.

There can be little argument about whether the nationalist population were faced with a set of circumstances where armed resistance was or could be justified, the actions of HMG and the security forces saw to that. One mans terrorist etc.

oh look, another blow in agitator

They were a terrorist group whether you sypathise with their aims or not. They murdered innocent people who had nothing to do with what the British government were or weren't doing in Northern Ireland.

The Cell blueprint they used was developed by the SOE/OSS during WW2 & the Viet Minh/Viet Cong in Indochina/Vietnam.

Who else, apart from saffers, doesn't think the IRA was a terrorist organization?

i'll eventually convert saffers and it will be glorious

In 2012, a news article claimed that two members of the IRA bombing team, including the getaway driver, were British double agents working for MI5. According to the article, one of the agents was Denis Donaldson.[7]

Bit awks.

You've not thought this through. The Barmy Army are an example of an army that is not a terrorist organisation.

If you doubt the Ira were a terrorist organisation, then you may not have much of a clue what happened.

E.g. forcing civilians to drive proxy bombs in suicide attacks

As armchair alluded to, they wrote half the book on terror tactics.

And they also brought horrific misery to their own communities.

Every armed organisation in the troubles were engaged in terror. Including the legal armies.

Agree with all that, but should point out that the civilians used in the proxy bombs were viewed, rightly or wrongly, as being part of the “Brit war machine” and were therefore seen as “legitimate targets”

They could be a bit loose with their accusations tbf. To them jean mcconville was a legitimate target.
