00:00He bent the knee continually to Republicans, on the runs, on the refuse of the decommission,
00:07not taking action when they were carrying out punishment shootings, ignoring bank robberies
00:10and extortion, all to keep them on board, and every time he did so he undermined the
00:15moderate majority who actually made the agreement.
00:18I once described it like the sarin call, if you know Greek mythology, and the sarin call
00:23in this case is the greater good, you might have heard of, oh just ignore that for the
00:27greater good, turn a blind eye, and the great mythology, the sirens would try and send out
00:32music and songs that would draw the sailors towards the ship, towards the rocks and get
00:39shipwrecked, and Odysseus, he managed to navigate this, he was really doing, he was bit waxing
00:44the ear of the sailors, and he tied himself to the mast, and he kept his course, and that
00:52sense of the greater good, turn a blind eye, let it go, is seductive.
00:57There are those in the media who will say, and on social media, you're always looking
01:01back, no we're looking forward, but we've not ever let the back history of this country
01:05be rewritten.
01:07We can never be seduced by that call of let it go.
01:11Republicans aren't letting it go.
01:14They're rewriting history actively, and we are the custodians of right and wrong when it
01:19comes to the troubles now, and if the men and women in the security forces had the physical
01:24courage to stand on the front line, the least we can do in times of peace is to hold the
01:30line of morality on their behalf now.
