    I remember well the days of the "letter bomb" ................. was a popular tactic in the Ole Belfast Days ,.................. maybe someone missed the pleasure of sending mini bombs through the post ?

    Specifically i recall a Sinn Fein member moved in next door to us temporarily after his house was burned out in north belfast so for safety he went to the west ? anyhow - he was getting letter bombs regularily so he had no letterbox and the post man used to leave their post in our house !!! i remember thinking - well thats good if he gets a bomb in the mail it could explode in our house .............. needless to say when my parents were informed of this they politely told him to put his post elewhere !!!

    it seems to be an angry driver of sorts :confused:

    On Tuesday a package exploded at the offices of an accountancy firm linked to Speed Check Services, the provider of digital speed cameras to the police.

    That followed a letter bomb attack the day before at the central London offices of Capita, which runs London's congestion charge system.

    Then todays is at the DVLA in Swansea which handles car licences, registrations, etc

    Indeed it's so funny that people in this country will get riled up over crap like a congestion charge and speeding fines but when it's something serious like wars no one cares enough.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Idiot possibly but i'm sure he wasn't happy to find out there was a possibility he'd be carrying around a letter bomb for the said SF man.

    IT was a comical situation the next door neighbours house ( and it's a terrace) fitted out with bomb proof windows and reinforced steel doors etc and all i could think of was fuck i hope they don't get the wrong door if they come to kill him!!

    In regard to the angry driver someone somewhere obviously pissed them off big time!!

    they (police,press) think it is a stupid crazy motorist(s) who is angry they are paying more tax. although if you look at the numbers it has got cheaper to drive a car than take public transport.
  • if they thought it was some crazed islamic terrorist, the country would be hysterical, royal mail would shut down and we'd have to take our shoes off to go into a post office.
    I noticed two people who were arrested last week for plotting to kidnap a soldier were released without charge and guess what......the press are nowhere.
