"Just yesterday a family in Larne were ordered to leave just because the wife is a catholic. In Newington Street in North Belfast a hand grenade was thrown from Tiger's Bay and could have killed quite a few children if it had exploded, and this is only what has happened this week alone."

The lady was on the news she believes it is because her boyfriend is protestant, and will not give in to any terrorists, brave woman in my opinion.

No defence for the hand grenade, no side should have them.

What I will say though many want people to understand the SF situation but will not do the same for unionist politicians, even those who do not want the loyalist groups to be there or armed. Many have called for the various groups to disarm a point that is left out, why do that to make your argument JimmyC? How are people going to move forward when they play down the efforts of others.

Trimble and Durkin are not ex terrorists, Durkin cannot be considered as having the army or police as a private army like the IRA. To make such assertions is just as spurious as saying the army and police are Trimble's private army.
