Sergio Aguero Shows Respect-Take Note James Mclean

There have always been civilian casualties in war as well as military ones. It would be equally valid for people of all nations to refuse to commemorate the war dead because a few of them got things wrong and killed the wrong people.

The problem McLean has is that he is pretty clearly a supporter of the IRA. Or if he isn't, then he makes a pretty poor attempt to oppose their policies. Whatever the faults of the Army and RUC in Northern Ireland, even the blindest of Irish patriots must accept that the IRA did some pretty appalling things. McLean only ever seems to criticise one side. That's why he gets singled out.

Any evidence that he is a supporter of the IRA and their policies? He posted that stupid picture of him and his kids wearing a balaclava a few years back and was rightly criticised by all sides. But it was a poor taste joke rather than any sort of ringing endorsement of them.

He only ever criticises one side because he has to as part of the yearly explanation demanded of him for not wearing a poppy.
