Of Note

You know, the English love democracy so much. They love it so much that they plant spies in Irish political parties, one of whom appears to have died violently.

My favorite part of the article is this sentence: "Protestants at the time accused the IRA of plotting a potential resumption of its violent campaign to oust Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom."

To oust Northern Ireland? Where are they going to put it once it's been driven out of its current location? An AP writer needs to get a dictionary to go along with that thesaurus.
