    You mean like Peckham on a saturday night?

    I was responding to Pannonians' post.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Most people I know would rather we didn't have responsibility for Northern Ireland. Mind you, this is London.

    lol

    Until the Northern Irish decide to secede from the UK then we do have a duty of care. Has it been a mess for most of the latter 20th century? Yes. Was it avoidable? More than likely.

    A lot of people have died on both sides. Needlessly.

    This is the only occasion that I can think of where membership of the EU actually had a beneficial effect politically. Once both the UK and Eire were members (of the EU) the whole idea of nationalism and unionism became redundant. I'd like to say that Blair, despite his myriad faults, actually did something good. Let's also remember the man who initially got the ball rolling. John Major.

    I've mentioned it before but my grandad, (he was in the Army at that time), was kidnapped in the post WW I years by Sinn Fein. His mates were executed but he, being 17 years old, was spared, probably so he could tell others what had happened. That was in Eire of course but it has a direct link to the recent troubles.

    Let's all hope this time it will be peace for good.

    Definitely. Let the British Isles finally be peaceful.
