Very glad all is well, Ireland -- with this particular incident I mean, obviously.

Gentlemen, may I gently note that over here in the States (uh-oh, now I'm askin' for it ain't I?), where we do have our own Troubles also in case you hadn't noticed (yeah yeah, sure sure, we're askin' for it with our fascist imperialist War Against the World, we know, skip it fellers), when a suspiciously-parked or -driven truck or van (as we like to call lorries) is observed, people are quite supportive of its being given a nice little once-over by the authorities. Including the usually-innocent driver, owner, etc., who if (s)he has any brains, knows it's for the protection of all.

Uncompromising Big Tim, not to worry. They're askin' for it ain't they? Have another one boyo, and just spell it "fookin'". That sortof Decommissions it y'see. :)

Ireland, re the 6 Loyalist para goons arrested - "One good thing six less terrorists running about and more weapons to be put beyond use." *Right on, man*. Back to the H-Blocks with the whole bloody lot of 'em sez I. "Another-Man's-Freedom-Fighters", please note. Your cause -- *our* cause, dammit!! -- is just. But murder is murder. We need to flip the equation. Peace is a precondition of Justice. Without peace, nothing can be fairly done. Nothing.
