If 20 years ago if you had suggested that, in late Sept. 2005, the IRA would (seemingly) have disarmed you'd have been laughed at.
If you'd gone on to prophesy that Ian Paisley would lead the largest Unionist party you might also have encountered disbelief. Anticipating his belligerent, curmudgeonly response to this event would however have been a complete banker.

We want troops out, we want troops in
out in, out in, the huns might vote for SSiN
We bend our little and our principles a lot
That's 'cause we are Trots!

Oh the Soggy Oggy
Oh the Soggy Oggy
Change the line
One more time
Rah rah rah..
Best chant i ever heard was after 1989 NUS conference when the UJS ammndement on Palestine / israel passed with SSIN support. Workers Power chanted outside conference "SO , SSIN , UJS , YOU HAVE SCABBED ON THE OPPRESSED" tra,la,la,la ,la,la,la,la,la,la. Workers Power missed the Tra, la bit altogether - probably too intelectual for them to grasp !
