Jimmy C As I live in Kent not far from R.A.F. Manston I get woken up at all times of the night by KC 135, C 130, F111E, E3, C141, C 5 Galaxy's, A 10, F15, & the odd B 52. And they not even are own air force but the US. we get continues heavy gunfire from the proving ranges 15 miles away. And the army are band from most of the pub's, clubs and other places of entertainment, but so far no dead solders. And I was not aware that many had herd of the K.L.F. (Kent Liberation Front) out side of Kent.

And if we all go for "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Well gust end up a land of blind and tooth les people

It has not been lost on the British people that the IRA have for the most part kept to there ceasefire which is more than can be said for the so called loyalists. Or that there has been no offer to decommission loyalist's arms. Decommissioning is a two way street. 800 years of fighting has not altogether worked we must let all the people of Ireland decide not gust who we agree with.

Loyalist gangs making attacks on Catholics for the most part dose not get on the news here in the uk much. (So much for a free press) As a Brit I am proud of my Country BUT NOT MY GOVERNMENT Remember that the first victim of the British Empire was and still is the common English man. And just like the US, the Irish Republic and most democracies Government only listen till they get your votes then they get very deaf. Till the next time comes round.

When some thing happens we need to know and when the press/government wont tell us people like you all need to. If you don't know that you don't know some thing, you don't know you need to ask.

Thanks to all as this has made good and informative reading.

All the best Ferret
