Ulster Still Needs the Army
The loyalist feud (more here) is disgusting and embarrassing. Does anyone actually know (or care) what it's all about? One bunch of drug-pushers evicting another to take over their territory? Some argument between families that's been going on for 5 years?
I don't know the whole story and to be honest it doesn't concern me. I'm bored of it. It really just seems that some people need to fight because it's all they know. It doesn't matter what they're fighting about or fighting for (if they even know). Fighting is their life.
What I want to know is what the police are going to do about it? Have they become so caught up in human rights that they no longer have the ability to actually police the country or is there another explanation as to why there's been no movement on the thugs so far?
We've been informed over the last little while that Northern Ireland doesn't need the army any more, while at the same time soldiers are guarding the streets of Co. Down and north Belfast at a cost of £30,000 a day or ~ £900,000 a month - all because of some fucking loyalist bickering about who runs the drugs trade. As if the fact that so many of them [terrorists] are cheating the benefits system isn't insulting enough, the money spent policing their spat would be enough to save Irish Premier League side Coleraine FC from bankruptcy, just one of many potential better uses of the money.
Expect to see the Divis watchtower return soon, coming soon to a council estate in Holywood.
