Check out CNN for some high-quality lazy man's journalism

The riots were completely apolitical, and couldnt have been less religious.

Scum of the city latching onto a dead agenda......smash a few heads

This lot of stupid twits in Northern Island have been at each other throats for years ever year this happens during the marching season both sides are as bad as each other. Both living in the past with their bloody pride I am fed up with hearing this crap year in and year out just a bunch of kids who will not grow up.

Of course it's rare for the Republic.

Used to support them? Does it matter? Lets look at who the IRA are now eh? Drug dealers and murderers who pay lip service to some stupid ideal in order to pretend they're different from every other criminal

Wasn't so long ago that they were a little more active, but I think since 2001 they've been forced to keep a lower profile, lest people remember that they were detonating bombs in London longer than Al'Qaeda.

I was at the band stand nail bomb attack in I think it was 1982 the day before it went off. Still spooks me even now, that picture of all those dead horses killed by that nail bomb sickening. :nope:

i wasn't too far away when the docklands bomb went off -- a couple of miles but still got rattled a bit.

remember when there were no dustbins on oxford street because of the fear of ira bin bombs?

Yea there was some blast near by I think which resulted in removing the bins.
