Literally Maze balls.

From Irish Election Literature:

A Christmas card produced, I assume by the Republican movement or Sinn Fein. I think its from the 70s or early 80s. Marie Drumm was a former vice president of Sinn Féin who was assassinated whilst in hospital by Loyalists in 1976. She was also a commander in Cumann na mBan.

Exclusive: Republican Dissidents join forces To Form A New IRA (Henry McDonald, The Guardian)

Barry Cahill writes:

Obviously these are vile, thuggish cowards desperately trying to cling to relevance but why give the exclusive to the Guardian and not the Irish Times/Indo/RTE who have yet to report anything? Henry McDonald/Guardian particularly sympathetic? News ‘down south’ wouldn’t give them oxygen?

YOU decide.

A victims’ campaigner has labelled a Co Tyrone primary school an IRA training ground, after mistaking an Italian flag outside the building for an Irish tricolour.

That’s right. It all happened back in 1986. Blogger Chris Writes sez:

After some extensive research I found out that the Web of Spider-man comic series had indeed brought Spider-man to London and then Belfast where he fought the IRA. It lead to the Marvel office in New York being evacuated after National outrage and eventual Bomb threats.

I looked and looked for traces of the story but unfortunately these issues became increasingly difficult to find. Then, after many hours spent online, I tracked down a copy.

More pages from ‘Little Wars’ here.

‘Little Wars’. The provos must’ve adored that title.

Someone needs to go on a hunger strike.

He’s a member of the Real Pie-RA.

Hey, watch him make that cake ‘disappear’.

His Waist Unfree, Shall Never Be At Peace.

He Could Eat A Whole Ireland.
