poacher turned gamekeeper?

I awake today to the news that the Tory party conference will attended by one M Mcguiness. For those too young or not from the UK, Martin McGuiness is the leader of Sinn Fein in the Stormont parliament and spent many years as a Commanding officer in the IRA. He was in a senior position there when the IRA bombed the Tory conference back in 1984 killing 5 and injuring 34. In this age of peace and reconciliation we have many conflicts across the world that are now over and those involved need to admit what they did, apologize for the hurt they cause and move on. The IRA/Sinn Fein have never shown any remorse for the thousands of innocent civilians caught up in the war and for McGuiness to attend the conference is a bitter pill to swallow.
