    Do these idiots actually think they have support from anyone when they carry out cowardly acts like this? I honestly cant understand how they they think that a car bomb is going to get them anywhere (except hopefully jail), with pretty much everyone else trying to work for peace.

    Here's a tip if any of you dissidents read forums...WE DONT WANT YOU, SO **** OFF!

    I'm sure they're aware of that, and I doubt they give a shit

    imho it's stupid to assume that even they are carrying out these acts solely in the name of republicanism

    they're nothing but the lowest level of scumbags, probably feeling disenfranchised about how society has caused them such hardships.. I doubt the retards involved in this care one way or another about what people actually want

    I have a mate who is a Garda in a border area and he has been telling me for the past two years that dissident groups are becoming active, reorganising, gathering funds and gathering intelligence.

    This is something the security forces on both sides of the border are well aware aware of and there is a lot of intelligence on both sides. Remember a Real IRA activist was arrested in Ballybofey a couple of weeks ago and a couple more escaped...

    I don't know whether these scumbags are doing it 'for the cause' or their own twisted version of it, or maybe they just want to re esatablish their smuggling superiority and instill fear against competitors.

    Either way, there's a lot of them out there and unfortunatley we're gonna see some more of this

    To repeat something I said in the politics section:
    The more a dying animal is backed into a corner of its own making and senses its own demise, the more it will fight back.
    Its an inevitable consequence but its fate has already been decided by others and one brought about by its own previous actions.

    The victor this time around is "peace" - the losing animal is "unwanted war".

    These moran idiots and their even stupider followers, have no one to blame for their own demise.
    If they were anyway serious and had the slightest bit of kop-on, they would serious commit to talks but no, like a schoolyard bully, because they don't get what they want, they try to push others around.

    What happens to schoolyard bullies? They get easily hated very quickly, no one wants to associate with them and thus they get further isolated.
    No friends,
    No direction,
    No kop-on.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish. Here's hoping they go with their stupid out of date followers and trolls.

    what codeword did rira or cira use for last night's newry bomb? the news says is was recognized? any suggestions:

    I suspect they used a combination of codewords:

    '32 counties or not smuggling and criminality is a tidy tax free living and it is hard to let it behind'

    translate into what language? how about the following:

    DECLARATION OF SUPPORT
    1. We, the participants in the multi-party negotiations, believe that the
    agreement we have negotiated offers a truly historic opportunity for a new
    beginning.
    2. The tragedies of the past have left a deep and profoundly regrettable
    legacy of suffering. We must never forget those who have died or been
    injured, and their families. But we can best honour them through a fresh
    start, in which we firmly dedicate ourselves to the achievement of
    reconciliation, tolerance, and mutual trust, and to the protection and
    vindication of the human rights of all.
    3. We are committed to partnership, equality and mutual respect as the
    basis of relationships within Northern Ireland, between North and South,
    and between these islands.
    4. We reaffirm our total and absolute commitment to exclusively
    democratic and peaceful means of resolving differences on political
    issues, and our opposition to any use or threat of force by others for any
    political purpose, whether in regard to this agreement or otherwise.

    If you were anyway serious - you'd take your agenda to the politics section.
    This is AH. The school-yard.
    Can you actually come out and state what your on about?

    Edited: because maybe I was possibly misreading what the poster was trying to say.

    the copy and paste is the opening of the good friday agreement from the website of stormont,

    paragraph 4 is all you need to know about the loud bang in Newry last night, today Gerry Adams challenged these hill billies to have the guts to engage in debate...

    many of us watched years of this dreary atavistic cudgel swinging...we will not let a tiny minority easily bamboozle the young...without debate anywhere it might take place

    I respect your bona fides and have no dispute with you amici

    I'm glad to read that and glad to agree. I'm delighted that a once serious supporter of fighting has issued his peaceful challenge.
    Thats the ONLY way forwards for our future.
    I include myself as one of the many. I still have the actual scars.
    I don't want those days to return. Not for me but for my children more so.

    Am I the only one who's sick of hearing about this sort of bull****?

    I want NI back, just to make my aspirations clear - but I have long since realised that this will not happen - ITS A ****ING PIPE DREAM - and certainly not peacefully. So I instead support any efforts made towards everyone living together peacefully. It's a small island and we can ill-afford to fúck it up any more than it has been.

    ANYONE who blows up civilian targets is scum, and deserves a firing squad. Civilians are NOT fair game, nor are civilian amenities like courthouses, EVEN if unpopulated at the time.

    ...Adding on to what Sdonn said, if Ireland is EVER to become a united island as one complete state - this (I suspect) will only come about when those of the unionist/minority section feel completely at easy with those they encompass as a community and country.

    What happened up the north last night is similar to shooting themselves (the bomb-makers) in the foot.
    They did their long term goal no favours last night - just made it even longer to reach yet again.
    Thats not called progression - thats called stupidity.

    I honestly don't think those pricks have 'long term goal'.

    Their only motive I think, is to give their sad little lives purpose and pretend they are still at war.

    If they except the peace process it means having to get a day job and stop playing fcuking martyrs for once in their lives.

    It really is sickening this shit is still going on, I check the BBC Northern Ireland section fairly regularly, as they report stories from the RoI there aswell - there's been quite a few incidents recently, but this is the most serious so far (touch wood). Britain is not an enemy anymore, we're not oppressors.

    People trying to drag Northern Ireland back to into 'Troubles' don't deserve oxygen tbh.

    Did I say I supported the dissies?:rolleyes:

    You can call them scum until you are blue in the face. It wont change the root cause of the problem, British rule in Ireland. As long there is an occupation, there will be a resistance. Same the world over, Iraq, Afghanistan, or Palestine. Nothing baffling about that what so ever.

    Remember this quote?

    "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace".

    Oh yeah, the 3/4 of a million Unionists would be delighted. And you can bet all the unemployed loyalists who still have rallies firing guns in the air and having bonfires all with complete impunity would just say "Oh well".

    Yes, they would. Around 23% of the population according to a recent poll. Now I make that around 405,000. So yes, you're correct.

    That's still nowhere near the majority. For what it's worth, though I'm English, I've made it very clear in the past on here of where my loyalties lie in relation to a United Ireland. But that does not justify innocent civillian deaths/casualties. Northern Ireland has progressed. Things now should be sought through legal means and not violence.

    The vast majority of the people down here don't want the Dublin government, so it's a bit much to expect those poor devils in the North to accept it.

    Ah, the mythical Loyalist hordes. They would do phuc all, just like they did when they sold their fellow loyalists in the 26 out post partition.

    That poll is from 2007, Tom. A lot has changed, people are seeing the GFA for what it is. A farce.

    Look, I'm on your side in terms of your views. But there's the right way to go about doing things, and the wrong way. Targeting innocent people is most definitely the wrong way. Knuckle-dragging morons seem to think bombs are the way forward. They should try democracy; Britain's a lot more fair now than it was in the 70s/80s.
