I just want you to know that your remarks are in really bad taste.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrington_bomb_attacks

In my lifetime (I'm 30, from Manchester), I lived through two bomb attacks a few miles away from my home, one in the centre of the City, and another in a nearby town in the main shopping street that killed two children. They didn't 'tend to attack military targets'; they were terrorists.

Terrorism is either bad, or it isn't. Don't dress the IRA up as something they aren't so that you can sit on the fence.
