Unsophisticated bombs in London

EDit

Sky getting knickers in a bunch over the Irish stamps on the bombs sent in the post to London. What do you folks reckon...lone republican nutjob, a genuine rise of a new IRA, or some ISIS lone wolf who happens to live here (or is this a false flag to make Ireland look bad, ya know cos of BREXIT)?

It's obviously a MI5 conspiracy to remind people that a hard border risks going back to the bad old days. I for one will be glad when brexit, hard border and back stop are no longer in use

screamer

Who knows, but if they go messing with the Good Friday agreement etc, they will add relevance back to those groups who are largely irrelevant now, and more of this sort of thing can be expected. I don’t think they quite understand what they are messing with in the pursuit of making Britain “great”

A blatant attempt by the pro-Brexit camp to undermine the backstop.

Typical British media calling something from Ireland unsophisticated. Could they not have called our explosive devices stylish or elegant? I'd even settle for a "debonair."

Two of the incendiary devices were from England and all of them had to be put there by someone there.

Sky News want Brexit in its purest form, and Paddy to take his soup.

It is understood that reports suggesting at least two of the packages had Republic of Ireland postage stamps on it are accurate.



They are being treated as linked and the Met’s counter-terrorism command said it was keeping an “open mind regarding motives”. No arrests have been made and inquiries are continuing.

At about 9.55am, officers received a report of a suspicious package at the Compass Centre. The package was opened by staff at the building, causing the device to initiate. This resulted in part of the package burning. No one was injured. Flights at Heathrow were not affected.

I think a good few people associated with Saoradh may be getting contacted by the garda and British intelligence. Serves them right after their idiocy a few weeks ago with the car bomb, supporting (and possibly having knowledge of or involvement with) terrorism up north.

No they dont. They go to great lengths to dismantle brexiteers logic

BBC on the other hand.......

Wouldn't be the first time a group like the New IRA sent letter bombs to addresses in England

These suicide bombers really get my goat, Whatever happened to good old gentlemen bombers like the IRA who would quietly pop a bomb under a table and leave without making a song and dance about it.

That narrows the suspects to only around 1.5 million pissed off commuters.

I'd keep an open mind. Them stamps can be bought online from anywhere in the world and have them delivered to their country like it could be a brexiteer or some unionist with an agenda we just don't don't yet. The type of package they were sent in should be source were they can be bought as well. It seems a bit off to me and sending them to airports? If it was the IRA wouldn't they target military,government spots instead?

OldMrBrennan83

It's all too conveniently obvious, which screams some dimwitted Brexit head.

I'm not sure on anything yet but they could've been posted by some numbskull in Ireland and hopefully whoever and whereever they are i hope they get caught quickly and anyway the packages look amateurish.

Try posting something in an An Post office with Italian stamps on it and tell us how you got on.

BBC going big on the Irish angle, now following it up with an item on a soldier involved in bloody Sunday. Has no regrets about what happened that day in ' Londonderry'..... really stoking up the anti Irish rhetoric.

I'm having doubts that it was the IRA as well but i might get proven wrong but these devices are nothing spectactular and why would they target airports?

Security analyst Declan Power was on Sky News earlier and said it was his view that it probably wasn't dissidents given the MO. I agree.

Wonderful. Now that I know you agree with Declan Power, I’ll sleep soundly in my bed tonight.

The Rape of Lucretia

While I can in no way condone violence as a means to make a point, this effort from southern Irish Unionists appalled at the idea that the 26 rejoining the UK risks moving a step further away if Brexit happens at the end of the month, has send a message to Downing Street and Merrion Street.

Bubbling under for a while now, but the Breunion movement has been gaining momentum, and drives like this to ensure the UK doesnt leave the Republic high and dry stuck in the EU making it further detached from a restoration of the full UK, are only likely to intensify.
The sense of betrayal of those in the south runs very deep, and the UK timing of their Brexit move, before going for Breunion was very poorly judged. And the price is now being paid for that, with the intractable border problem stymying their effort to go it alone without us.
