Terrorism deaths by year in the UK

You are obviously very much more knowledgeable in this than I am.

Of course I am. Because I live here and grew up through it. I'm not some jumped up little know it all student.

However that was a very badly written and worded statement from me above.

Ya think?

I do know a fair bit about the troubles but I was going on a bit of a rant.

No. You don't.

But some of your points do go to prove the spine of what I was originally saying. There is no connection between the troubles and what is currently happening.

Horse shit.

The IRA where in there minds trying to evict a foreign invader who only rose to real prominence after the Bloody Friday massacre which unless you have forgotten was conducted by British paras who shot indiscriminately at unarmed demonstrates bla do bla do bal.....

Foreign invader? My family tree goes back in Ireland to the 1600s. How the fuck are my people a foreign invader? Would you support a Native American bombing campaign against Americans because they're a "foreign invader" and somehow now American? No. You fucking wouldn't. And I'm sick to the back teeth of being called a foreign invader by jumped up little socialist student terrorist sympathisers.

And it was BLOODY SUNDAY. Not Bloody Friday. So much for knowing what you're talking about. Bloody Sunday was the Paras. Bloody Friday was the Provos.

Injury counts here higher becuase they operated from Ireland, they where Irish same was thousands more people die in Afghanistan and Iraq from Islamic terrorists than in the UK.

They were British. Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. Most of the soldiers, prison officers and police officers killed by the Provos considered themselves British. Or fucking were British. Along with a large number of the civilians the Provos killed too.

Most large scale attacks by the IRA where performed against British soldiers and Irish police officers not civilians.

This again shows your fucking ignorance. Most of their bombings were carried out in commerical centres. Where civilians went fucking shopping. I had to run out of Banbridge in 1998 because they bombed it. A couple of months later, the bastards bombed Omagh. That could have been us in Banbridge. So don't give me that horse shit about them preferring to target security forces.

The PIRA hadn't the balls to face the security forces head on. They're fucking scum.

See Warren point, btw I am acquainted with a british man who was present at the bombing.

What about it? And who gives a fuck if you know someone that was there? You fucking weren't. You've about as much authority on the subject as any other bullshitting arsehole that likes to talk about something he knows fuck all about because he knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy whose uncles dads dog was somehow present.

And that in different from large scale attacks in civilians becuase there is a clear motive to that. Attack the occupying forces, IRA saw themselves as a guerilla force fighting for Irish freedom.

They were fucking terrorists. They were fucking child murderers. They terrorised their own neighbourhoods. They carried out killings of people who didn't do as they said. They put families out who dared to stand up to them. Even the Vietcong fought the might of the American army head on. The Provisional IRA couldn't even do that. They used scoot and shoot tactics. Like I said, would you support a terrorist campaign by native Americans to force all white Americans out of the Untied States? No. You wouldn't. But you'll justify it for a bunch of fucking Irishmen.

So you might be able to see through my badly constructed points and writing the main point in am trying to get across.

Your point is fucking horse shit.
