There are already 1.5 million victim commissioners in Northern Ireland, so why do we need 4 over paid members of another political quango. The troubles are a part of history, a fact of life, it’s in the past and what will these four Chuckle berries do to ease the pain and feelings of the suffering victims, not much, they are nothing more than 4 political appointments to appease those that cry the loudest in the ears of the Chuckle Brothers, who actually prolonged the sufferings of the victims, yes I’m also a victims commissioner, were murdered by terrorists, I was put out of my home on a number of occasions as a young boy and carried by my father to a place of safety in the middle of the night, my father had to patrol the streets as a vigilante during the hours of darkness in the early 70s, and then go to work the next day, I was in a number of explosions as a young boy during the 70s, and I was feet away from a lady that was shot at point blank with an SLR, and where was D.I.P.when my family and neighbours were going through this commotion during the early troubles, he was the invisible man, D.I.P. is 38 years to late in providing his quango, at a early age I had to learn the art of living in the real world so the best advice that I can give those who perceive themselves to be victims is to forget those things which are behind, victim commissioners can’t change the past, but victims can reach forth unto those things which are before to mould a better future for those that are following in the wake of the troubles . To dwell on the past will only cause more misery, we have suffered enough without having the Chuckle Brothers setting up an overpaid political quango to bring victims down into the slough of despond by dwelling in the mire of the past, what where the Chuckle Brothers doing during the troubles nothing, but agitating their own factions to catapult themselves into the OFNDFM while trampling upon those that got in their way, they were hardly concerned about victims during their struggle for power to be #1 & #2 in a Frankenstein government, if they were not in the OFMDFM they would still be political agitators causing mayhem. These appointments on the part of the Chuckle Brothers are an insincere gesture nothing more than an act of hypocrisy on their part, maybe they are feeling guilty about their past, and by providing a group of victims commissioners their crosses might feel a little lighter.
