Waterstones IRA controversy

Why on earth have Waterstones on Gower street, Hoborn got a picture of Gerry Adams on their wall? I for one will not be shopping at this terrorist support centre again. My Waterstones card is binned.

How dare you insult my local member of parliament and next-door neighbour!

(I'm kidding, guy's an idiot)

He lives around the corner from where I grew up. As does this lovely person

Sigh. Sad thing is it's a beautiful village.

Did you bin your Waterstones card when they sold Long Walk to Freedom?

So you didn't bun it when a convicted terrorist had a book there but you did bin it when one of your politicians who has not been convicted of terrorism has a book there.
So much for consistancy in your arguement against terrorists at Waterstones then.

Selling the book is one thing but these people had him in the store all smiley and bearded.

I was not aware Mandela had a book until I googled the title today and probably didn't have a Waterstones card then anyway. Not had it long.

Besides which Mandela was acting against a naughty regime. Ina nother continent and was not acting against the country Waterstones occupies.
Not at all like with like.

Come on matey...you've been around long enough to know the rules around the use of asterisks.
