Really kicked off in Northern Ireland this year
Discussion
Why this isn't on the front page of the BBC I'm not sure, but saw this logging in to my email:

BBC has this on the NI section, but nothing on the front page:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/106123...
82 officers injured, three shot, one hospitalized after a shotgun to the chest, one after being hit in the head- the BBC say by "a lump of masonry", others report by "a paving stone dropped from a rooftop". A hijacked bus with a fake bomb and a hijacked train which they attempted to set fire to. That's some pretty big s
t in only two days.

Just can't believe that here we are in the year 2010, and people still use their belief in the skypixies as an excuse for violence and/or political gain.
F**king get a life.

The divisions are along sectarian lines but it's more about tribalism and the haves and have nots AFAIK.Just can't believe that here we are in the year 2010, and people still use their belief in the skypixies as an excuse for violence and/or political gain.

Well done.Have you applied for any jobs in the Diplomatic Service recently?

It's an annual ritual. I don't think it is particularly worse than in previous years.
Your correct it hasn't been, although there seems to be a higher number of police injured. But I think the problem there lies with the new Chief Constable, you just don't get the impression he realises what he dealing with here. Bill said:

I wholeheartedly agree. Still, incredibly childish though and I do think that religion and sectarianism are used as an excuse for a bit of violence.
TBH though I feel the same way about football
(No religion required)

What they should do is allocate a "Riot Field" and let the opposing sides have at each other to their hearts' content whilst the rest of the normal population goes about their daily lives.
Why, it might even become a televised sport with points awarded for best petrol bomb or most imaginative insult.

I thought that's more or less what they used to do at Portadown every year?
There seems to have been a consensus between media and government that reporting disturbances in NI was 'unhelpful'; I think the result is that when events do reach a level that cannot go unreported nationally the effect is that they appear to be a bolt from the blue.
