Thoughts?

Personally i feel that the N.Ireland situation is returning to a much worse stage what with the recent killings and now this.

Everyone thought that the whole power sharing in the N.Ireland assembly would solve all this shit but, if anything, things have got much worse recently.

Well shit, it seems that because they are Loyalists, they are allowed to be vigilantes, via the power given over to them by the Brits. If the PIRA isnt to attack the Brits anymore, they should at least take on these fucks.

it's a logical result of the St Andrew's Agreement basically strenghthening communal divisions. In other words, the identification with 'your own' is stronger across the green / orange divide, and there is more a free hand for paramilitaries to police 'their own' community. That's really what the peace process is all about.
