My hometown, was bombed in 1993, and again in 1998, by Irish Republicans. Their only purpose, was to spread division, harden attitudes and hinder commerce. These same Republicans, stand smug in Government today, and are praised by many (including Jeremy Corbyn.)
Unfortunately, the UK Government at the time, and since, have given too much concession to terrorism.... The terrorists should have been side-lined (or even obliterated,) when they had the means and intel to do so. In today's World, the terrorists believe that, they too can re-brand as themselves "freedom-fighters" or martyrs and re-write history to suit themselves once they've terrorised their way into power.
My thoughts this morning are with the people of Manchester, and the UK as a whole. Quis separabit!
