Here we go again - London bomb threat

Back to the bad old days. Still, it was nice while it lasted. At least the IRA gives warnings unlike Al'Qaeda.

[Torplexed]

The IRA's way of saying, "Hi, did you miss me?" :hmmm::hmmm:

Ya. Still, it's not the IRA proper, it's splinter groups from the old IRA. The hard nuts who couldn't put down their arms. Probably the Real IRA lot:

Tossers.

Aye. :damn: With any luck they'll be duds and that. Not like the nail bombs and the Docklands bombings of the old IRA.

[Tchocky]

With RIRA, sadly not probably duds.

At least they've graduated to warnings, ach :/

[Jimbuna]

They often give a code word to cause maximum disruption...whether there is a bomb or not.

If the intent is to kill or maim (such as the catholic police officer recently) they dropped using coded warnings after the peace settlement was reached.

Unfortunately the authorities don't have the luxury of adhering to any particular protocol.

I still remember the Manchester bomb and the rebuilding after. Yet despsite the IRA's best efforts Manchester came out of the bombing much stronger and more economically stronger.

[Jimbuna]

According to the news an hour ago the security forces believe they are better equipped than previously and the 'intent' is also at an all time high (since the peace process).

[Oberon]

Well, we've had a lot of technology coming out of the States to deal with Al'Qaeda, as well as an increase in security protocols following 9/11 and 7/7. So it's not as if we've been lapsing since the Peace Process. The cuts in police funding are a bit of a worry though, but I imagine the cuts will happen more outside of the cities.

[Jimbuna]

Just don't anyone consider cutting my pension :stare:

It was good to see Marian Price getting her licence revoked. Though they should have sent her back to prison at easter.

Well that certainly isn't going to happen....too much time and effort has already been spent on bringing about a lasting peace without playing straight into the hands of a small minority of hard-liners.

You have got to love her line of reasoning though .......its freedom of speech they are curtailing free speech......errrrr I didn't know what they were going to say if I knew what they were going to say i wouldn't have stood up therewith the speech:rotfl2:

yes a hard line view indeed
Someone is on the same page as the loonies in the RIRA.

[MH]

Irish just wanted to prove that they are not pusses after the eurovision failure.
Nothing serious....:D
