You can log into BCA auctions online create an account, they have 20 to 30 thousand vehicles to view at any time. Most of these vehicles are ex leasing and carry AA mechanical condition and body condition reports, with indemnity. you can bid online  and have it delivered for around £200.00. Most dealers in the north get their stock from BCA.

What anybody else knew is utterly irrelevant. The Soviets and the Brits had no hand, act or part in Hiroshima or Nagasaki. The US alone developed the bombs and used them as weapons and by the time the Brits and the Soviets were even informed of the bombs' existence, Truman had already made the decision that they would be dropped.

The two atomic bombs released on Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, were the result of an experiment called the Manhattan project, America,Britain,and Canada being the three countries involved, I believe.
Scientists from all three countries were on board a plane observing the results of their invention.

Great article that accurately outlines how McGuiness is and will be viewed outside hard nationalist circles (and SF AGMs, I guess) in the six counties.

The rush to lionise the nationalist answer to Ian Paisley here just because he's gone shows a serious lack of perspective. Like Paisley, he took the north deeper down the rabbit hole. Everyone would have been better off without both.
I can only surmise that those on here who are being disingenuous with their views on McGuinness, fall into two categories, they either are 40 and under in age or live in the south. Anyone of my generation and older will only too readily remember what it was like growing up in the Protestant state. I could what about all day on nationalist grievances, my experience in work and on the streets and the actions of our fellow countrymen. But I won't. Martin McGuinness got embroiled in the troubles and the IRA because of his experiences. The history is there go read it. In fact those of you who want to objectively view the northern state and the cause of the troubles should go read Bonfires on the Hillsides by James Kelly. The best history of the North to be written. I personally could never pick up arms, but many like McGuinness did so out of frustration and a sense injustice. Am I condoning the atrocities ... absolutely not, but they need to be viewed in context. The SDLP and John Hume great man as he is could not have delivered the GFA or the peace process with out the IRA's actions, Unionists simply would not have moved, if you believe otherwise then you are a fool. There was much done on both sides and we thankfully have moved beyond that. You don't have to like Martin mcGuinness to acknowledge his contribution in delivering the North to where we are now. He has continuously stretched himself and nationalism in attempts to reach accommodation with political unionism only to be thwarted by intransigence. Unlike some he has never denied his past or sought to hide behind red hats or shotgun licences.

A very constructive post that shows an understanding of the Northern situation.
On the other hand we have syferus being as articulate as Jolene Bunting.

On the lighter side of Brexit

Reading through some of these posts there seems to be quite a few of those brexit experts on here.
I never read as much sh**te in my life.

There are some lines that can't be crossed. Joe put that Conlon w**ker back in his box and rightly so.

Go to Windsor park on a Saturday and see how comfortable you feel when home club are playing. I sat in the family section and heard nothing but sectarian abuse directed at Cliftonville manager (at the time) Tommy Breslin. The fact that the IFA turned down the Maze prison site and instead chose to continue funding one of the more toxic clubs in local football means that no amount of "grassroots outreach" will make up for their inherent sectarian leanings, that's not forgetting the English national anthem and accompanying Loyalist flag.

Absolutely 100% on the money there. Was always a sectarian cesspit, you can dress the pig up put perfume and lipstick on it,  but it will always be the pig.

But we can send the Poles back to their own country so everything is great (even though there is no way in any shape or form that is going to happen)..

Hooray for England!!!!

Now, dont be silly screen you cant be sending the poles home, who would do all the work.
As for those uneducated, racist, little Englanders, we should show a little gratitude since they have been sponsoring us for decades.

Funny how there has been no media coverage / public outcry about this charming little ditty.  Can only imagine the responses on here if NI fans sang an equivalent song.

Not that bad , but I prefer the billy boys song.

When I lived in Salford I had daily encounters with the long term unemployed. I think "dole merchants" is a better term than "job seekers" because these people had no intention of working. Probably had several generations of family with no history of working, only watching TV, knocking about town, harassing students, fighting, drinking, and getting involved in crime. I know unemployment benefit is needed for people who are temporarily between jobs, but the people who don't want to work do exist, and they exist in big numbers.

You don't have to go to Salford to find that type, quite a few here in Northern Ireland and they're not immigrants.
