McGuiness was a leading light in the rearmament of the Provisional IRA in the early seventies, he was the deputy commander of the Derry Brigade, responsible for hundreds of murders, murders of Catholic and Protestant, members of the security forces and indiscriminate bombings which killed and maimed men, women and children. He either agreed with, or directly gave the orders for these actions.
I have always had sympathy for the people of Northern Ireland, I have always felt the Catholic Civil Rights movement had right on their side, but I have never agreed with the killers from both sides, who indiscriminately murder the innocent. McGuiness topped this list, when you have seen the sights I have mentioned previously on this subject, picked up the severed hand of a one year old girl, I went, broke down and cried with the Padre after that one, you cheer the death of people like him and pray he has been replaced by someone without blood on their hands. |

Or, as Sgt.Major williams from "It ain't half hot mum" would've said:
"Oh dear, how sad, nevermind, hehehehe".

Even after all this time and on top of all that happened to Colin Parry he still retains a real dignity even if Martin McGuinness has passed on. I felt for him when he lost his son in the terrible Warrington Bomb but did eventually meet with McGuinness and although they got on well he never regarded him as a friend and naturally could never forgive what he did(or was implicated in) As I've stated here in the past I could have lost my mother in the Harrods bomb in the 80's - if her friend hadn't cancelled at the last minute I shudder to think what life without her would have been like. I thank god everyday that they didn't meet up.

The British government has followed suit and announced a cabin baggage ban on laptops on direct passenger flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. The ban, which also applies to tablets and DVD players, follows a similar US move affecting eight countries. Downing Street said it followed talks on air security and was "necessary, effective and proportionate". US officials said bombs could be hidden in a series of devices. The ban applies to any device larger than 16cm long, 9.3cm wide or 1.5cm deep. It includes smart phones, but most fall inside these limits. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39343971

And if you are flying into Luton Airport, take note of this video: http://www.express.co.uk/travel/arti...-airport-video That's assuming your expensive tablet or Nikon camera haven't already vanished from your luggage. |

Ah! But what penguins don't get, is that you never hear of a plane crashing into the air, only the ground! So if you jump out before it approaches the ground...........
