"In each cell, one of them was MI5, the second one was Special Branch, and the third one went to jail."
But sometimes, one of the other two also had to go to jail...
As for Norman Tebbit's claim today that Martin McGuinness was effectively recognising Her Majesty's sovereignty in Northern Ireland, that is more than Lord Tebbitt's own political heroine ever did.
On the contrary, having been an unprotesting
Cabinet Minister at the time of the only ever serious British attempt at
withdrawal from Ireland (it came within hours, possibly minutes), she herself
signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement, actually renouncing sole British sovereignty.
She remains a very significant Unionist hate figure to this day.
She was in continuous contact with the IRA
despite telling Parliament that she was not. And in that context, she
"miraculously" escaped unscathed from the Brighton Bomb.
