Do you condemn or condone the IRA? It’s a simple question.
Danidl has made his answer perfectly clear many times, for example in the post below three and a half years ago:

Just for the record I am not and never was a supporter or apologist of the IRA in any of its guises.
The only point I was making is let's move on. The past of 30 years ago is another country, and cannot be revisited.. We cannot change the past, but we can the future.

I’m comfortable with the idea.

Why won’t you condemn IRA’s bombing of public spaces? Bombs placed after a calculation had been made to maximise death and injury to the public, of all ages, simply going about their business. It’s a straightforward question, do you condemn or support the IRA’s actions?

You have branded all Royal Naval and British Army officers as terrorists. Now display moral courage and state your position on the IRA, and stop side stepping.
You might need to review your position.. obviously English Comprehension was not taught in your School. Re read what I wrote. The institutions I flagged up, do teach terror as a subject. They make it an academic subject, how to inflict it and sometimes how to endure it. If you cannot understand that, you knowledge of military planning history and function is woefully inadequate.
Incidentally I have always viewed placing bombs in public places and using them to kill civilians as utterly wrong. In this I include not only the IRA bombs in NI, Westminster, Brighton, Manchester, but also the proxy bombs detonated by the UVF, under British Officers instruction in Dublin, Monahan and Dundalk in 1974. I would also include minefields and drone strikes in non war zones as also utterly wrong.
Finally I never choose to use the word terrorist .. It is a get out weasel word., and absolves the user from ever having to think. Every "terrorist" is someone elses freedom fighter

We haven't even achieved any Space travel yet Ross.

The moon isn't remotely a planet, it's still the earth and tightly tied to it so going there is like popping into the back yard. Even going to Mars won't be Space travel, it's just travel within the also gravitationally locked together Solar system.

Only travel from our solar system to other solar systems with planets will be truly be travel in Space.
.
It's all a matter scale really, as Armstrong said " one small step " The moon is due for another visit soon with the beginnings of a permanent lunar base station built, then use that a stepping stone to mars and so onward.
Just a matter of time....

My word sir, you do have a link to substiantiate that? Who were the `British Officers` involved? How many years did they get?
It is extremely well known, . And no I do not have their names, nor do I have the name of the assassin of Pat. Finuchane , which incidentally had a public inquiry REFUSED last week. .. You see you have this odd piece of legislation called the Defense of the Realm Act , and it includes a document called the Official Secrets Act. , so that dirty secrets get filed away, for 100 years, .
There is a book called the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, a copy of which I once had. in that the operatives within the UVF are identified, and reference made to their handlers . the British state were well aware of this book, and curiously never bothered to defend themselves from what would be considered as libel .. .
Just in case the circumstances of the Dublin Bombings escape you, .. the Irish parliament our Dail, had brought in an Emergency Powers Act , allowing the state to remove Habeus Corpus. , for specific acts. It was of limited duration only. when it was coming up for renewal, or cancellation, . The Taoiseach, a higher moral and scrupulous lawyer, considered it an affront,on the grounds that trial s were the way to deal with crime, including political crime. This was known to the British Embassy, so in the HOUR before the vote was to be taken, and the Act repealed, there was a COORDINATED set of bombs in Dublin , Dundalk and monaghan, with the greatest single fatalities , up to the Enniskillen bombing 20 years later. of course the Taoiseach, did not repeal the legislation the hour later.

Where is your evidence of, “ the proxy bombs detonated by the UVF, under British Officers instruction in Dublin”?

You have soiled yourself in public several times today. Perhaps you should now stop.

The nearest earth like planet, Proxima B is 4 lightyears away.
There is no hope for human to travel there and back.
We may send a device but not humans.
Faster than light communications may be possible one day but not sending a breathing human at faster than light speed.

So your evidence is:

a) It’s well known.

b) A book.

Please take my advice and stop, I’m starting to feel sorry for you and that will never do.

Nice to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spreading a little cheer. The care and health workers seemed delighted to see them.

Perhaps Sturgeon and Gething should support their future King and show more respect.

That was then, this is now flecc.
If you look back through his posting history you'll see he was always consistent in his dislike of the IRA and their actions. You may have missed that since the posts mainly appeared in the threads relating to Northern Ireland's troubled e-bike legal history, but as that concerned e-bike law I didn't miss any of them.

So cutting through all of the above waffle its just Hearsay, or Rumour, or a republican/sinnfein narrative to bad-mouth the Brits, nothing whatsoever that would stand up in a Court of Law.

I‘m working on a propulsion unit capable of sustaining a constant 1g acceleration. This will solve the problems of prolonged weightlessness in space and the associated medical issues such as muscle and bone mass wastage. After 354 days at a constant 1g, the vehicle will be travelling faster than the speed of light.

Traditional propulsion systems rely on relatively low acceleration of high mass values, hence the giant rockets like the mighty Saturn V. The system I’ve developed accelerates very low mass, we are talking atoms, to previously inconceivable velocities. The net result is a very small, lightweight engine with a virtually inexhaustible duration producing thrust equal to, or in excess of massive rockets.

I can’t say much more about it at this stage, but the possibilities this opens up are very significant.

the issue is when you go faster than about 0.99c - with c being the speed of light in vacuum, the energy required to maintain 1G is way over any mean of producing it.
The speed of light barrier is not like the sound barrier, matter has electromagnetic interaction, so it cannot go faster than electromagnetic wave.
To go faster than speed of light, you have to traverse space using something that does not interact with electromagnetic fields or forces. There is only one candidate at the moment which is called dark matter , more may be discovered in the future.

Daily Mail, July 2015: Jim Ratcliffe became the latest businessman to claim Britain could THRIVE outside the European Union. Hooray!!

Daily Mail, May 2019: One of Britain's richest men insists Britain will thrive outside the EU. Yesss, **** the EU.

Daily Mail, Sep 2019: British car-making to be located in Bridgend, a huge vote of confidence in Brexit. Remoaners, told you so. Project fear, the goodness is flowing.

Daily Mail, Dec 2020: British car-making not to be located in Bridgend, they have bought a factory in France to ensure a supply chain and no tariffs after Brexit. Oh ****, what have we done. But we won and you list remoaners, so there.

Leopards do not change spots, and neither do I. .. ans unfortunately neither do you. You remain the same sleveen and true to your name.
Let’s call a truce. We aren’t getting anywhere.

I like teasing you, but I’ll stop because I want you to enjoy the forum and I’ll be leaving at the end of this year anyway.

Have a peaceful evening and a pleasant day tomorrow.

Apparently George Eustice said that in case of no deal, we'll maintain WTO tariff wall until many trade deals are concluded.
So we are set to face up to 40% tariff selling our cheeses to the EU, 13% on lamb while we are obliged to continue to take on 80,000 tons of frozen NZ lamb tariff free every year.

It's not Ion Drive is it Barry, I think that's already being used.
