Oh I've just noticed Rockrose has also had her penny's worth.

From your answer I can only presume that you are fairly young and have known no better.

Apart from the 6 years of WW2 this country has never experience the danger, crime and violence that we see today.
Enjoy your Easter Eggs while we are still allowed to call them 'Easter' Eggs and the chocolate's colour isn't changed in case we offend anyone.

Aog, do you have a link for that? As far as I have seen, crime and violence is still going down. I know it doesn't appear that way with all the 24/7 news we get now, but I would be interested to see those statistics x

This is a questions and answer site, and one is supposed to provide a constructive reply if a question is asked.
I met some New IRA members in the course of my work and they came across as totally dysfunctional just doing it for the "power and influence".
A murder in the 1950s would have been talked about for weeks. Now knife and gun crime seem to be becoming such an everyday event that I think we are becoming immune to the seriousness of the situation .
For instance over the last few days just to mention a few crimes---Young boy shot at ,Journalist killed in Ireland, 13 years old boy knifed in the legs, 70 years old man in Wales shot with a crossbow is in critical condition .
What is our UK coming to? Has anyone got an answer?
We're doomed
Thank you, aog x although I was thinking a little more widely than just the last ten years .
we've got a very divided nation. I blame Brexit - even on AB, people have been talking about "taking action" if the country isn't arranged to their entire satisfaction. This simply wasn't the case three years ago. The increasingly vast gap between rich and poor makes matters worse.
You really should engage your brain AOG before posting. The New IRA are not a new phenomenon.
And Rockrose, also a NI native like myself I think it turns out was right it seems: two teens arrested.
Mindless and gormless individuals I’ve no doubt
ANOTHEOLDGIT, can you not understand the difference between "a new IRA" and "the New IRA"?
Of course they were gormless!! They were firing a pistol at an armoured vehicle using ordinary rounds!
Ich we are not allowed to be right!!
ANOTHEOLDGIT, what like is London's current homicide rate compared to the same period last year?
Well, where I live in the UK it is very peaceful, birds singing rather loudly but then I suppose they always have done.
The Londonderry murder is very sad and worrying. My opinion, and it's not worth much because I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to have a view on such matters, is that there are probably weapons available to those that want them, left over from more troubled times. The police are on the case.
On the 'Anarchy on the streets of London', this is planned for I believe, up to two weeks. I feel that people might benefit from viewing Sir David Attenborough's TV film on climate change [available on BBC iplayer] to see what motivates the demonstrators.
The 'anarchy' that would ensue from run away climate change is hard to contemplate.
//people might benefit from viewing Sir David Attenborough's TV film on climate change [available on BBC iplayer] to see what motivates the demonstrators. //

probably. but I wonder what motivates the demonstrators to leave behind them a sea of discarded plastic bags, single use plastic bottles, coffee cups and other trash in flagrant contradiction of their alleged concern for the environment?
Brexit ....Check
Global Warming....Check
Come on, I only need Trump for AB bingo.
The leaving behind of discarded plastic bottles and other litter was a tactical mistake that surprises me.
But please do not let that distract from the main argument, that the Earth is facing a crisis that needs to be tackled now.
Ain't.
