DHC4 to Startledgrapefruit - 'Sinn Fein hate everything British, are you basing that on fact or is this just your own thoughts.'

To put it into perspective...having lived and operated in Northern Ireland for a significant proportion of my life you would probably expect me to instinctively agree with that statement.

However, having been awarded a Masters Degree (MLitt) in Irish Politics, my Professor (and Dir Defence Studies (RAF) who sponsored me) instilled in me the need for objectivity. So I genuinely always try to take the non-partisan view. Which in some circles in NI doesn't necessarily go down well.

Nevertheless I still agree with the statement. Sinn Fein, as a political movement, find anything to do with the British Government, Military and even their fellow citizens who hold a different passport to them, totally anathema.
