The law firm is called Birnbirgs. I spoke with Dexter about it down the pub one night, he used to date my sister.
There are two of them. The other is called Gareth, she was played by Emma Thompson in the movie.
The film may be about some random terrorists to you, but to me it is about my friends who featured in it.
Again your reasons for concluding that I am making this up, says more about you than it does me.
Any two terrorists who bomb someone can be considered to be acting alone. Why tar terrorists bombers with the same brush as other terrorist bombers, bombing in the name of the same cause? Why indeed.
The bombing happened. It is not an isolated incident. IRA terrorism has continued in NI, despite the peace process, just not in London.
I would describe it as "low level" stuff. No spectaculars. I use the word "war" loosely. My apologies for that.
The IRA liked to call it a war, but I think that is overplaying it somewhat.
I'm from the UK, I worked in London throughout the IRA bombing campaign. So the option of me "not taking sides" is not possible. I have been involved in this quite beyond any agreement by me to be so. I did not seek this out. It came to me.
In order for you to be a friend and ally of my country, there is no option for you to "not take sides" in this either.
Rationalising acts of violence and murder aimed at me and those I love and also those I seek to protect is not a neutral act. Much as you may wish to justify it so.
It is an encouragement for those people acting in this way to continue acting in this way. A justification for actions to which there are no valid justifications that I am able to accept.
You are providing bad role model and actively encouraging further terrorist activity. Promoting it. Your failure to recognise that perhaps stems from your lack of empathy with the innocent victims in this campaign or even the perpetrators of it. You will be held responsible for you actions by me. Ignorance of the consequences is no longer an excuse I will offer you mitigation for, because you have been made aware of it.
Choose your side.
