That IRA Agreement

Tell you what, Mr Blair. We'll say something, and in exchange you can do something. Then do something else. How about that ?

The hitherto little-known (to me, that is) Twenty Major sums up the new IRA strategy perfectly.

"We decry the actions of these Muslims for ridding terrorism of its cuddly image, its shileleagh and its bejaysusness. Long gone are the days when Mickey Rourke would be seen dead in the same snug as us."
