Shame this thread was allowed to continue but hey ho free speech and all that, even if there is/has been hate speech in this thread that really should not be allowed to go on. So, to balance things a little, here is a reminder for anyone interested/has short term memory loss/misguided conspiracy theories or complete denial of the disgusting atrocities carried out on the mainland.

Let’s also not forget the cowardly actions abroad and in the province.
And yes, I am sure there was provocation on both sides that ended up with a very sad outcome. Let’s also remember who has a get/keep out of jail card issued by bLiar and his cronies and who has not!
Lastly I do sincerely believe this thread has no place here and should be consigned to the bin. Move on and get brewing!
