Mindless gibberish of a tired mind

Try, try, try.

Well there at it again.

Lets look at some statistics shall we:

The IRA started most action in the 60's and ceased in the 90's, 30 years they tried to terrorize the British.

February 1974 - Coach carrying soldiers and families in northern England is bombed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA). Twelve people killed, 14 hurt.
October-November 1974 - Wave of IRA bombs in British pubs kills 28 people and wounds more than 200. Several people are convicted but cleared almost two decades later.
July 1982 - Two IRA bomb attacks on soldiers in London's royal parks kill 11 people and wound 50.
December 1983 - IRA Bomb at London's Harrods department store kills six.
October 1984 - Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's cabinet narrowly escapes IRA bomb which kills five people at hotel in English resort of Brighton during the Conservative Party's annual conference.
September 1989 - Bomb at Royal Marines Music School in Deal, southeast England, kills 11 and wounds 22.
February 1991 - The IRA fires mortar bomb at Prime Minister John Major's London office. No one is injured.
April 1992 - Huge car bomb outside Baltic Exchange in London's financial district kills three people and injures 91.
March 1993 - Bombs in two litter bins in Warrington, northern England, kill two boys aged three and 12.
April 1993 - IRA truck bomb devastates Bishopsgate area of London's financial district, killing one and injuring 44.
February 1996 - Two people die when IRA guerrillas detonate large bomb in London's Docklands area.

Then the real IRA started

March 2001 - A powerful car bomb explodes outside the BBC's London headquarters. Police say the Real IRA, a republican splinter group opposed to the IRA's ceasefire, were behind the blast. One man was injured.

And now these guys.

We remember them all (apart from '74, I wasn't born) and it they made us stronger as a nation. Ok we may not be as big as some countries but we have stamina. Britain has it's own violent and jaded past I will admit, but when it comes to our home turf we don't roll over. The Romans and the French (A little embarrassing that one) are the only ones who have had in influence over our green and pleasant land, So what makes these people think they are going to make us bow to there whim.

I say to all the British no matter what colour, creed, religion or age if you were born here, work here, live here, YOU ARE BRITISH AND YOU ARE HUMAN.
You are part of this country and its history, Be proud of it, and no matter what community you live in, give these people no place to go and no place to hide because a bomb has no interest in the colour of your skin or what faith you have and it could be your children who are stood beside the next one.

Sorry but I had to have a rant on this one because these people are really starting to piss me off.
