    I brought the Car over to England about two weeks back. The amount of questions me and my friend were asked "Purpose of visit, Do you know anybody here, How long are you staying" etc etc....

    Because of those fcuking IRA terrorists everyone else is branded with the same brush.
    Your not really, I've gone through the same thing even in a work van, those questions come off a sheet and are designed to catch people out in lies. If your legitimate you'll have no problem answering the questions (maybe even look a bit peeved) if your up to no good you'll lack a proper story and have to guess and delay as your answering which they'll pick up on.

    With any luck, Bin-Laden's shower will take them out for trying to steal their thunder. There'll be a lot of competition to top the UK Terrorist charts.

    Real IRA clearly not that fussed about a united Ireland, claim Al Qaeda

    After the Real IRA left a car bomb which exploded outside MI5’s Northern Ireland headquarters, Al Qaeda have criticised their half-arsed attempts at terrorism, claiming that they clearly aren’t that bothered about a united Ireland.

    In a recorded statement delivered to Al Jazeera, an Al Qaeda spokesman said, “No-one was hurt, not even the driver of the car, or the people who prepared the explosives - is that the behaviour of people who really believe in their cause?”

    “Basically, they are giving the terrorist profession a bad name. In many ways they are even worse than the failed pants bomber - yes he was ridiculously incompetent, but at least he had lofty ambitions.”

    “I’ll bet the Real IRA members behind this plot even manage to hold down proper jobs and have a normal life when they’re not plotting to bring about a nominal amount of terror to the streets of Northern Ireland.”

    Old days

    The statement continued, “To put it into terms you will understand, the terrorism game is much like modern day football. What got you success thirty years ago, isn’t going to work today.”

    “Terrorists today are better trained and more committed than ever before. There are new techniques, and the Real IRA simply haven’t moved with the times.”

    “The game has moved on, there’s no point looking back to the glory days and saying that the IRA of the 1970’s could instil fear into British hearts better than modern-day Al Qaeda.”

    “That’s like saying Leeds United of 1974 could beat the Manchester United of 2009. You just end up looking like an idiot. An idiot wearing a balaclava.”

    “They either adapt and become a proper modern terrorist group, or they settle for mid-table mediocrity and not being taken particularly seriously.”

    “Now if you don’t mind, I have to go and edit a video in which I scarily berate some western infidels whilst waving a machete around.”

    I have nothing but contempt for militant republicans but there is a lot of nonsense in this post. Why have no real IRA members ever been convicted for drug dealing when there's plenty of them in prison for other charges?

    Also, there's no talking to them. They've seen where talking got the PIRA and they want nothing to do with power sharing.

    You say there's alot of nonsense in my post and then go and point out one thing you THINK is incorrect, hardly alot of nonsense now is it? How do you know that Real IRA members haven't been charged with drug dealing??? If they're standing trial for drug dealing they hardly come out and say "oh by the way I'm also in the real IRA". Have a good think about your own posts before you call other posts nonsense maybe?

    You'd think at least one would have been found out by now. If the cops had any notion an IRA man was a drug dealer they'd go out of their way to charge him with membership, thus hitting their sought after community defender image.

    They killed one of their own men Kieren Doherty for being involved in a cannabis farm this year.

    There's plenty of things to criticise about the Omagh bombers. Really can't understand why people have to start making things up.

    Pfft, silly humans ranting on about geopolitical borders. All that bloodshed would have been for absolutely nothing considering that the United Federation of Planets is only a few hundred years down the road.
