    You are deliberately ignoring my point and adding an ad hominem? Sweet. It is not simply a question of geography, there were at least 2 opposing groups of terrorists fighting each other in NI. If the BNP starts bombing mosques and the Paras shoot a crowd of Hizb Tarir supporters in Birmingham, get back to me.

    Yeah, that last bit was unnecessary, sorry about that. Remember though, that my point was not about attacks that killed people - it was purely about having the simple ability to create explosive devices that work, and all parties in NI proved that they can do that will significantly more success than the current crop of middle eastern terrorists.

      Stop trying to be sarcastic, and listen to the point. Of course the unsuccessful attacks have the potential to be successful attacks. However, had those attacks been successful, they would have caused widespread terror and panic. What I am saying is that the same effect is being achieved by the over-hysterical reporting of the incidents. People aren't afraid of leaving their homes because of the failed carbombs, they're afraid of leaving their homes because the media and the home office are telling them they should be afraid.

      No they're not, the Brown government is particularly stressing the need to not be afraid and to go about business as usual. They are stressing that these terrorist activities should not discourage people from their daily routine. Look at his statements on BBC, CNN, NYTimes, etc...

        You should ask Matthew if you could borrow one of his foil hats. They help to deflect the government's fear rays.

        That's what they want you to think. An mate of mine who worked as a cleaner in GCHQ tells me that they in fact concentrate the fear rays. Makes sense when you think of it, as only dangerously free minds would think of doing such a thing.

            Actually, he's not. He's just telling me I'm wrong, and telling me what I must do. That's not reason, that's reasonless dissention.

              Close but not quite. If you look hard at the evidence you will see that not only were they British agents they were also all ex-McDonald's Hamburglar-costume-wearing employees. Their ring-leader was actually the lead-Ronald-McDonald character in Dublin for 3.1415 years. The money they would make at their day-jobs as McDonald's costume employees would be funneled into the IRA's ultra-secret weapons aquisition program which had direct links with North Korea, Iran and a small cargo-cult colony on Bora-Bora that worshipped Prince Charles as a God (no longer in existence due to forced and brutal conversion to Arian Christianity by a sub-sect of the Vatican, but I won't go into that plot right now). Since the fall of the Bora-Bora colony, the natural successor was, of course, Bin Laden who had spent much of his childhood on Bora Bora where he had developed a deep hatred for Prince Charles, his environmental policies and the West in general. And that's how we got to where we are today.

              I went to Bora Bora two years ago. My cover was our "honeymoon". In reality I was there to finish off the final fragments of the Nakagawas...The Japanese family that sat as head of the Bora Bora colony, which is less commonly known as the Gloup-Soups. You were probably only aware of some of their more recent acts. You may or may not be aware that they actually bombed Pearl Harbor. Japan itself had nothing to do with it. They established the international military-industrial complex. Now they are no more. There is only me.

                Not bad, perhaps you should appy to MI5 to write the 'plot' for the next flase flag attack. You'd better hope they don't f%^& it up with another fake Bin Laden though or you'll be a laughing stock.:laugh:

                  Why on earth would I do that? I actually manufacture the fear rays. I'd be in breach of contract with Britain.

                                  NI was a near war zone for decades, with large arms stockpiles that were beyond the reach of the UK authorities. Putting a pound of semtex into a bag and catching the 7:30 back from Lahore isn't an option thankfully. If it were, my guess is we would have seen a lot worse.

                                      Surely you meant SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! SPAM! :doh:

                                      Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                                        No. I would prefer that the scale of response was in some way related to the scale of the threat. We are spending vast sums of money on prevention of terror attacks that are repeatedly failing to materialise. Compare the amount of deaths and injury due to terrorism with the amount of deaths and injury due to dangerous driving, or gang warfare. Then compare the amount of time and money that is being spent on attempting to resolve these issues.

                                        OR "We are spending vast sums of money on prevention and terror attacks are repeatedly failing to materialise." Isn't that a good thing?

                                          As proved last week - prevention had nothing to do with the failure of these attacks.
