Alex said:Why the heck is the BBC making such a big deal out of this ex-terrorist? They make it sound like the queen died or something. He probably reformed as he felt so guilty for what he had done? No he was afraid of being arrested and this was his only way out. It makes me sick how BBC make him sound like some sort of hero. His death should just be mentioned in passing only.

'Idle Chat - General chat about anything' so if forum members want to chat about Martin McGuinness in this section, please feel free to do so. I doubt many cavers, when they get together chat exclusively about caving and nothing else, hence Idle Chat on the forum. Cheers, Pegasus

Roy, bearing in mind that you were an outspoken supporter of leaving the EU and since the margin was small, are you still firmly of the view that there should be a second Brexit referendum?
