Real IRA threatens to attack British bankers

ei.sdraob · 15-09-2010 07:39AM #1

The Real IRA has threatened to attack British bankers and their companies, claiming they benefit only a "social elite" at a cost to "millions of victims".

The dissident republican terrorist group labelled bankers as "criminals" and as the "next door neighbours of the politicians".
In an interview with The Guardian the Real IRA said: "We have a track record of attacking high-profile economic targets and financial institutions such as the City of London. The role of bankers and the institutions they serve in financing Britain's colonial and capitalist system has not gone unnoticed."
...
In addition to attacking banks the group said it intended to alternate future assaults on "military, political and economic targets".

however little we like bankers and politicians around these woods nowadays, taking law into own hands is going a little to far, then again whats justice and law to these mugs :rolleyes:

read this earlier on myself...

retards imho...

get over it...

I was rather hopeing they would have threatened irish bankers but then that would be asking for too much...

Is there actually the possibility of discussing politics in this as the real IRA are not actually in the market of making a political speach that we can discuss...

Maybe this is more suited for after hours or conspiracy theories...

What are you ashamed of this far left terrorist group?
you telling us their motivations for this do not involve a political agenda??

this move is obviously a political PR exercise in order to struck a cord with certain segments of the society

this thread is very appropriate to politics and current affairs

No offence but we all know the Real IRA are more then willing and very capable of pulling off an attack. So why put it into the conspiracy theory section.... I can see it now, certain conspiracists promoting the attacks because they believe government figures are reptiles in disguise :eek:

No more than a vain attempt (or maybe not so vain) to gain support and recruit the average joe to their flawed cause.

Fecks sake, its the IRISH BANKERS who need blowing up! :mad:

Seth Brundle · 15-09-2010 08:17AM

I take it for granted that the RIRA are under the illusion that they are the true Oglaigh na hEireann. Why then are they concerned about UK bankers and not the Irish ones?

Somebody should have gone up and pulled that balaclava off that arsehole!

Fratton Fred · 15-09-2010 09:17AM

wouldn't you just love to shoot that fecker right between the eyes.

hypothetically speaking of course.

mike65 · 15-09-2010 09:58AM

I'd lock him in bank vault.

Denerick · 15-09-2010 10:04AM

You've got to hand it to them... Its a pretty good PR stunt

Who were all those people there? If ever I was to agree with summary arrests, it would be for that crowd and the balaclava clad dickhead. I wouldn't stand in a graveyard and listen to that tosser, out of both fear and repulsion. That crowd in my eyes are harbouring and supporting known terrorists. Scum

The Reals aren't far left at all.

To be honest this sort of lark is just more of the same nonsense, armed struggle is not a viable option anymore. Sin é.

The vault would be empty apart from him!

What's hypothetical about it?

But threatening British bankers would be killing two birds with one stone - so to speak. A protestant Englishman and a member of the elite!

With soundbites like this it is no wonder that they are not doing terribly well in politics in the south.

Besides which we all know what they really like doing is kidnapping ordinary folk who work at banks and holding their families at gun-point until said employees have obtained cash deposits from their work-places. It is not a job that really requires khaki.

Chances are a British banker is in fact a private school educated Asian lad who's family made good, these days. How high up the greasy pole are the INLA targeting?

The dogs on the street know that people wouldn't have died from the Omagh bomb if the coded warning had have been passed on. But then again, people wouldn't have died if the Reee Raaw hadn't have put the bomb there in the first place.

dan_d · 16-09-2010 06:46AM

Why,why,why.
We are all so over this now.Can they not take a bloody hint and realise that?Go get a real job, and a life, instead of running around playing dressup and making statements that nobody wants to hear.

This isn't really worth typing about but RBS, Northern Rock etc are lightweights when compared to the damage done by Anglo-Irish Bank, AIB, Irish Life and Permanent etc. The UK banks are back in profit (overall) and the UK fiscal crisis is now that of the current account. The UK governments stake in the UK banks will turn a handy profit for the state. Here the state will be weighed down by Anglo and the rest for 20 years, while ALSO having to cope with a current account deficit for years.

Do hoodies that hang round on street corners and joyride at every available opportunity have a political agenda too? They only lean to the far left when reaching for a piece in the glovebox, and these hoodies are the people that these balaclava heads are appealing to, because the balaclava heads are just the same - thug terrorists.

Did the crowd who smashed up O'Connell street and prevented the Love Ulster parade have a political agenda? some of them may have pretended to but they just used that as an opportunity to run feral and cause damage. Even if they have an actual political agenda, I just dont care

Celtic shirts, flag clad faces and bloody violence =/= any type of republicanism I care to recognise

dan_d · 16-09-2010 10:19AM

Well that's great, but I was under the impression that the IRA fought for the cause of "freeing Ireland". Since when did they take on the mantle of taking revenge against banks? Who gave them that mandate?

Scum, is the only word for them. I notice they say that their membership is increasing, due to young, disillusioned lads. Right - lads who weren't alive to remember the Troubles, who had nothing to do with it except the stories they've been told. Lads who apparently have nothing better to do with themselves except think that joining a terrorist organisation is the solution. Wouldn't occur to them to get off their ar"%es and go try and make something of their lives.....

A statement like this just indicates to me that the IRA are up to their elbows in making money through drugs, gun running....you name it. And when it was disbanded, the income stream stopped. Now they need money again. Why are the people of Ireland and the UK (particularly Ireland, since it's "being done in our name") allowing themselves to be used as pawns in whatever game these lowlife are playing now?

Laminations · 16-09-2010 10:25AM

Its that fact that they claim to act 'in our name' that makes me most angry. When some thug asshat comes out with statements of hatred and threats of violence against the British I get a glimpse of the frustration and anger muslims must feel when some new eejit blows themselves and others up supposedly in the name of Islam.

This guy agrees with you. A united Ireland isn't worth one drop of blood but these ****ers aren't even after that any more. They're just trying to justify their drug running.
