Huge explosions at Texas fertiliser plants

Don't think this is terrorism, just a very nasty accident as seems there was a fire before one or more of the tanks went up, but it just goes to show why Fertiliser bombs was the IRA's choice for most of the troubles

Whatever happened to the IRA? I can't remember the last time they were in the news. Have they all given up?

re branded

According to the Portadown News they were re-branded as the Northern Ireland Terrorist Service (a play on the renamed Royal Ulster Constabulary)

ISTR that they lost most of their funding from the US after 9/11 and tried some bank robberies to get money which they messed up and then just faded away.

Don't think so.

Seems they have diversified and are now not just your friendly local knee cappers but also your friendly local drug pusher.

Well they always ran protection rackets - that is nothing new. Although you might be right about the drugs thing, I thought they were anti that. Maybe they were just anti anyone else doing it!

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

Mostly they are a bunch of thugs and now they are thugs in suits. Martin McGuinness running for president, I never thought I'd see the day.

And to think some gobtulipes actually voted for him
