Rant 345 10/12/12 Subject: Northern Ireland

Rant number 345

Whenever terrorist actions take place these days - its usual the asian religions that are to blame. As such - you get a certain amount of smugness from the Christians of one sort or another (lets face it, there are more variations than there could possibly need to be.)

Over the last week or so however, there have been some stark reminders of the recent past when things were quite different.

Northern Ireland, is a country with a very very troubled past in very recent years - and it seems that things are stirring up all over again. The country appears to be in somewhat of a state of anticipated conflict all over again - and its just not on.

When I was a child, I remember a lot of very scary stuff happening. The IRA - the bombings, it was an ugly time, and it should just not happen again.

Why can people not get along with each other - despite the differences in opinion.

The subject of contention is loyalism. Whether they as a country side with Ireland or with us. Half the country want to stay with us, and half with them - which is all very well, but no reason to be bombing and killing.

And what do you think is starting it all up again? A bombing - no. A loyalist march or something - no.

No, its about a fucking flag.

Childish idiotic fuckers. The country have been maiming each other for years and years and its just not OK. Bloody idiots.

Rant over.

Rant 139 18/5/12 Subject: Conscienceless thieving bastards

Rant number 139


As the recession beats its relentless march ever forwards, making life all the more difficult for us trying to make an honest living - those without scruples dig ever deeper into the mire of easy and often dirty money.

I can't blame the recession alone for this - people are after all quite capable of being gits under any circumstances. It seems though that many people have become more and more selfish, narcissistic and self serving - to the detriment of the rest of us.

Today is a prime example of this: of a line crossed and a sacrament of sorts shattered.

19 years ago, the day before mothers day, some cowardly IRA terrorists exploded a bomb in Warrington town centre, killing 2 young boys and shaking the community. Horrible and barbaric.

To commemorate those who died a plaque was erected. Not a valuable plaque in a monetary sense - but one that had great a value in terms of community.

A couple of days ago someone stole it.
Words practically escape me...

What kind of person steals a plaque of remembrance? Someone who has no respect for anything. Who brings these people up? Whoever they are, they did a crap job of it.

I hope that they are caught and they are bloody ashamed. Put them in the stocks and let the people throw whatever they want.

I really do despair.

Rant over.
