Norman Tebbit Is Right

There, I've written it. Because, in this case, it's true. The Provisional Army Council of the IRA still claims to be the sovereign body throughout Ireland, and would disband itself if it no longer made that claim. So how can anyone who accepts that claim, not to say who sits on that very Council, serve in government either in Northern Ireland or (as is theoretically possible) in the Irish Republic? Others should simply refuse to serve in any such government. This isn't about terrorism; it is about sovereignty.
