You can’t endorse assassination, it’s unacceptable.
This guy was a POS though.
He had been pushing for a series of really backwards restrictions on Irish living within Britain. He basically wanted them living under the British equivalent of Beijing citizen monitoring.
He let his fears around the IRA target innocent people.
Kinda disappointed it wasn’t a car bomb. That’s like the main IRA stereotype I can think of.
Good job they got the right brother, could’ve been a worse day for Norris.
Don’t start none won’t be none
