Attempt to go home. Most people seem to think that anything north of Aberdeen is a myth and doesn't actually exist, so I should be safe all the way up there

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terrorI'd restart my router to try and get the internet back on. If that fails ill try my mobile internet. If that fails i'd go to sleep and see if its fixed in the morning. If that doesn't work ill try to phone someone, but that wouldn't work so i'd sit and wait and wait and wait until the green light comes on my router so I can google what to do in an emergency.

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terrorSo you class a mushroom cloud on the horizon as a normal event?(Original post by The_Last_Melon)
Just wondering how you would all respond. Imagine while you're watching the Olympics you hear and see gunfire on the television and you lose the TV signal. Then you feel the ground shake and look out the window to see a big mushroom cloud on the horizon (but you deduce that it's not an immediate threat to you).
Wireless is down and TV and radio signals are scrambled. Occasional bouts of gunfire in the distance which might be approaching you.
What would your next course of action be?
Wow, what planet are you from? -

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terrorThere's not many countries in the world that have to deal with the threat of terror (and the magnitude of the attack) as much as Israel and with all things considered, they deal with it very well (one of the lowest civilian casualty ratios in the history of modern warfare). Nice try at being funny though.(Original post by A Perfect Circle)
Yeah I don't think Krav Maga is gonna help us here... Nice idea though. -

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terrorHow many UK civilians did the IRA kill?(Original post by zippyRN)
and demonstrates an ignorance of recent history, the past 10 years has actually seen a reduced level of terrorist threat in the Uk vs the 1970s and 1980s when PIRA and other Irish republican proscribed groups were active and regularly killing UK civilians and service families as well as service personnel .
Then think how many of them were killed intentionally.
also
would it shock you to know that 60% of the British armies killing in the North of Ireland were actually civilian? and that percentage is halved when you look at the IRAs. & seeing as the IRA accumulated the responsibility for just under half of the killings in the 'troubles' I hardly think that killing civilians was their aim. Whereas Loyalist paramilitaries killings are said to be 97% civilian, with probably the remaining 3% being internal feuds, but they masked this with the old saying "taking the fight to the IRA" when in fact they was just killing Catholics and Protestants alike, although the Protestants were mistaken to be Catholics.Last edited by TheDark; 17-05-2012 at 20:18. -

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terror*shrugs*
Options:
Run (in the event of a nuclear holocaust, that's a stupid idea)
Hide (see above)
Get stoned (if I'm going to die then I may as well go out on a high
)
I'm out of ideas. -

it's quite obvious that you are an apologist for republican proscribed groups if not an active support and sympathesier of the republican proscribed groups
this is not about the actions of the loyalist proscribed groups - who most people generally acknowledge as more than a bit mental.
the British Army were legally on the streets of British territory to support the RUC.
also the Loyalist political hierarchy and loyalist proscribed groups leadership heirarchy are somewhat less intertwined than the links between PIRA and the shinners ... -

Re: How will you react if the UK becomes target of regular and intense acts of terrorSo what you're saying is that if the people who were killed by the British army weren't British it's acceptable? Also I've lost family at the hands of the British army none of which were known to be affiliated with any paramilitary group so I guess it's safe to assume this subject is something I always have a knack for getting involved in.(Original post by zippyRN)

What you say about the British army supporting the RUC is true, as that is what they were initially brought to the North of Ireland for, which is why they were welcomed by the republicans in the north as previous to this they had been subject to constant attacks from Loyalists, with the frequent burning down of homes often occurring, yet this came with little retaliation. It was when the British army starting colluding with Loyalists, raiding the homes of Catholics and attacking their homes as well was when the Irish Republicans thought enough was enough and that their current tactics were not working. Also I think 'bloody sunday' solidified were the British army stood in the war in the North. -

while you continue to deny that PIRA were acting against the lawful authority of the government of Great Britain and Northern Ireland , there is little point in continuing the discussion, the levels of tolerance and passive support for PIRA plus the fact the community in republican areas stood back and let PIRA and the shinners run a parallel government without any actual legitimacy makes a lot of the claims of the poor repressed republicans rather than credible than they might have been.
