Some people in our wee land appear to be less than pleased that there is even an indication of moving beyond violence . Particulary an element among the young who seem to want their turn at the fun as well....

Within the Catholic community there is undoubtedly a hard line of Republicans who are actively trying to create as much tension as possible , pre-planed, text book Republican terror attacks can mean nothing else ,given that this (relatively) large numbers of hoods can be called upon is worrying in regards to the level of recruitment these more stimulating groups can aim for.

Is this a situation where security should be lowered ? Would you risk it? ,
because some nut from South Africa who hates your culture will do it to you weather you want him to or not , and be called a hero and a man of peace,which will not do so much to stop the bombs going off as the heroes whos memory he's pissing on did.

an unelected ruler is a humiliation and it is despoilment.
and its you and i , not those who selected him , who will continue to suffer for it.

use of the word 'devoid'? you've been reading too much atw!

did I use the word deviod ?
sorry i dont get you ..i only ever really read a bit of atw (some of the right wing 'enviroment' stuff and BadMuslims.com scare me a bit....)
still sorry if it all seems a little emotional but it p!sses me off it really does...
the fact that we can accept this dingus.... im not saying the sec. should be billy blue or something,but there has to be a sensible person out there, Tony made this choice banking, as he always does, on the politcal stagnation of a the British public, he could depend on no significant rebutle.

Paul I think he was referring to the OP which begins "Ulster seems to be brimming with scumbags devoid of any morals whatsoever. "

Devoid seemed like the word to use. I like the term 'moral bankruptcy' but I think, like the term scumbag, I overuse it.

But how else would you encapsulate the utter disgust held towards someone who approaches a pensioner out walking his dog, asks him for a cigarette (or a light, I forget) and then stabs him in the chest? The poor guy was 61 for christ's sake!

sorry beano i didnt reread the post and just assumed it was my own excessive verbiage that had been compared to atw.
just shows you how keen i am :}
