Not too long ago I remember police chiefs publicly encouraging people to donate money to the IRA.

Maybe you can start to imagine my disgust. It took everything in me not to throw the darned thing at the branch manager (Yes! I did complain in the strongest terms). That was the last time I ever set foot in McDonalds. How would Americans feel if they came to the UK and saw collection boxes for Al Qaeda on display?"
Not a single American ever went to prison in the USA for providing material support to the IRA. An organization that was attacking our closest ally.
