They're not going to like that, Cap'n Mannering.

Ahh yes. That was clever. Yes. Clever.

Why is this in the political humour section?

[Slartibuckfast]

Good one. Show a picture of the aftermath of a bomb attack on the British Army. That one should shame all militant republicans. The boys of Easter 1916 would never have even contemplated killing Brits.

The boys of Easter 1916 would never have even contemplated killing Brits.

Oh they would have, but they would also have taken the time to contemplate not slaughtering civilians while they screwing up their operation so badly that not a single serving soldier is killed.
Any republican who isn't shamed by what happened that day in Enniskillen is certainly shameless and barely a republican in any sense of the word.

I'm talking about that photograph you posted showing the aftermath of an attack on a army barracks in England, not Enniskillen.

And which photo is that?

[Slartibuckfast]

Sorry, my mistake. I thought one of those photos was from the time they bombed the Marines in England.

Hangover. Bad.
