The Guildford pub was targeted because it was frequented/popular with British Army personnel.The Manchester arena was attacked with the knowledge it was full of kids.
Yes I am disputing that.
Will get back to it later, good to see your true colours on how you see things here - ISIS have the same moral equivalence/justification on their attacks in Europe as the IRA did.
So youâre saying itâs ok to drop a bomb in a pub full of civilians and walk out and detonate it?
Itâs not. And it never will be. Itâs fucking disgusting.

Iâm outlining some of the motivations in the attacks mentioned.
You concur re the equivalence between the IRA and ISIS then a la the gimp above?
I never mentioned the comparison. I am merely pointing out a fact.

No, democracy and capitalism go hand in hand.
All countries that have embraced capitalism are relatively free and prosperous.
Name one country that embraced socialism/communism as an ideology where freedom, democracy and prosperity followed,
Please donât say Norway.
Are you a pacifist and believe violence is never justified?
Not necessarily.
I just think that bombing a shopping centre for no apparent reason and killing two innocent kids is pretty heinous.

Obviously it wasnât for âno apparent reasonâ unless you have zero understanding of the conflict.
If the IRAâs goal was to kill civilians, why would they phone in warnings? Clearly in the great majority of cases, their attacks were aimed at economic targets.
Whether you agree with it or disagree, the bombings on the mainland were clearly part of a campaign to pressure the British to withdraw from NI. An argument can be made that the IRA would have been better off only targeting the mainland and not their own backyard. The canary wharf bomb would suggest it would have been a better strategy.
And yet youâre happy enough to sing along about 2 kids and an elderly lady getting blown to bits

Folks, I am becoming increasingly worried that this @Sidney chap is actually a muslim terrorist.
He seems to 100% support the cause of the terrorists and he also seems to make jokes about the victims of muslim terrorism.
Should we be concerned?
I am.
Mountbatten was a colonist pig. Happy to sing about his death.

So what was the reason for the Warrington bomb? Those two kids were collateral damage for what exactly?
Causing a few quids worth of damage?
do you sing songs about Paul Maxwell aswell?
the pretend ira types on here can barely contain their glee at the way things are going in England
I donât think I have ever encountered such weird thinking, and thatâs saying something given where this debate is occurring.
The IRA set off a bomb in a shopping center in Warrington, calling in two advance warnings to avoid civilian casualties. Bad.
The IRA set off a bomb on a boat, with no warning, knowing there are two kids on board. Good.
It must be a Leitrim thing.
