#5  Yep, 'pragmatists'. Mad dogs, the whole lot of 'em. But 'pragmatists'.

#4  "Phil B and the Pragmatics" would be a great name for a rock band.

#2  If by pragmatics you mean equally prepared to take money and arms from Libya, the Soviet Union and the extended Boston Kennedy clan.

#1  A minor point but his reference to the 'provisional wing' (presumably a reference to the IRA) is wrong. The Provos were pragmatists. Unlike the Official IRA who were out there on the left.

The Official IRA lost and it happens I lived on the edge of Officials last stronghold in the Markets area of Belfast.
