I don't doubt that there are still establishments that pass the hat so to speak. And one of my biggest complaints has always been that US still allows funding of NORAID.
That said, except for very small enclaves of plastic paddies in cities like you mentioned, a lot of the dollars for "the cause" have dried up and the FBI has busted several large gun running schemes in the past couple of years. It ain't perfect, but 9/11 to open a lot of peoples' eyes.
Indeed. Very good steps.
I hope that the US Gov will be able to stand up and apologise for allowing its civvies to contribute to the death of British citizens.
A good start though.
Plastic Paddies. Thats a corker! Never heard that one before ;)
