Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Cloggy is big enough and ugly enough to defend himself but I did not read it at all that he was condoning the brighton bomb. He did say that as a bomb plot it was badly executed as it completely missed its target.

100% behind Sapphy, as someone who cleared up after the buggers (ex British Rail staff, cleared up after a few "terrorist situations") to joke about the after effects of a bomb is horrific, even to suggest you would have "Got the job done".. no, not funny in the slightest.

VERY offensive IMO, I know she was hated but thats bang out of order

As someone who was affected directly by the IRA bomb in Doclands, yes I lost my home, my business and my car because of it, I feel I am more than qualified to comment and its this....

No one, but no one has the right to plant bombs and blow anyone up, I don't care if they are whatever race or religion, no one has that right.

Absolutely unconditionally and unarguably correct.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Absolutely right, but you try getting that into the heads of the people making and planting the bombs.

Saffy, the point I have made is that I understand why someone might do that but it does not necessarily mean that it will help in the cause that the person is advocating.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

I would hope we are talking at cross purposes here.
I cant believe that anyone would think that planting a bomb in a public place would be OK under any circumstances.

I am saying that the motives of those planting the bombs can be understood whether or not we agree with that as a method to bring about change.

No, it would NEVER be OK under ANY circumstances, there are other ways to settle disputes. Bombs don't achieve anything positive, they just kill and injure innocent people who have nothing to do with any issues the bombers may have.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Just got a call from my wife who was running in the Boston Marathon.

She said they had a blast and she can't feel her legs.

Glad to hear she's having a good day.

How much does she usually drink before she's legless?

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

I think it was idiot at Brighton that the plural idiots.

I'd contend that "idiots" was correct, as they'd surely have used a two man team - one to plant the device (presumably made by someone else) and another person to stand guard.

Another idiot was the person who commissioned the bombing, as he should have known it would have taken more than one device to collapse the whole hotel.

I do not condone the murder or maiming of people - it was a just a retort to jon saying that he would miss the late harpy.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Yes and i suppose that eventually we will know who is responsible for the latest atrocity, so that will make it OK?

It will give us the cause so yep.....

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

But in the original reference to Brighton, we did know the causation, did we not?

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

I think the issue is the people whose lives are lost/ wrecked by the explosion, some of who do not have a clue about any causation.


No your quite safe people don't get banned from this forum for having poor taste I find.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

The reason behind the bombings is always the issue. If the Brighton bomb is linked to the Boston one(and there is a big Irish community over there) then we can go there.

Shall I start(and do I get banned from this thread yet :o )
