Ch4+1 Exposure:Gaddafi and the IRA midnightish

[anonymous-user]

I'm watching the Ch4 showing now. Well worth a watch. For me, it provides answers to lots of questions I have. The main one being, why McGuiness and Adams appear Teflon coated.

Because now they are reformed characters and on the way to sainthood. You never know, it might be President McGuiness next.

The thing is, we've known about the link between Gadaffi and the IRA for years, so the point of this programme at this particular time is what? who in particular is this programme setting out to target - gadaffi as he's a pariah again, or McGuinness who just happens to be going for the Irish presidency

I've not seen the programme yet, so can't comment on it, I'll try to catch up with it.

McGuinness can't win now. It's just been anounced that Dana is running for president (again).

Seems this programme is in a bit of hot water over some "terrorist footage" which turns out to be a computer game - oops!

That is pretty hilarious. The problem is that any serious message the programme tried to make is now completely undermined.

I wonder how it happened - surely someone can't have put that into the programme believing it is actually real footage. Either that or they just assumed their audience are completely stupid.

McGuinness and Adams are probably creasing themselves at the moment.
