Hopefully not, Groucho..



The extremists doing this will be known to 'Republican' elements now serving in govt. They simply don't enjoy the level of 'support' .



Sadly, it only take a handful of folk who won't accept that the way forward is through the ballot box.

There would seem to be a criminal gang related element to the dissent. No longer controlling the drug and smuggling trade in NI has meant some of the republican fat cats no longer have the income they once enjoyed and they are pissed big time.



It's got nothing to do with politics and everything to do with greed... even if they like to to think they have a cause they are fighting for.

Not necessarily so.. IF Colin Duffy, the guy arrested for the killings of the soldiers - one with connections to Cyprus (Patrick Azimkar) IS the killer, you'll note his a quite a history with MI5 and it is still on the cars that the UK security services might have been involved in the murder of his solicitor.
