Piss Process
It is a given (as academics would say) that the peace Process is at an advanced stage in Norn Iron but old nasty habits and ingrained attituders still take a long time in dying:
An army helicopter crashed near Crossmaglen,in South Armagh, one of the major hot spots of the 'Troubles' Everyone on board-all soldiers- were injured, some seriously.
The BBC reports:
The police said that ambulance crews removing the casualties from the scene came under attack by local youths throwing stones, fireworks and snowballs.
Similar attacks were made on police officers on the ground. There are no reports of any casualties"
Charming. What nice citizens of this peace loving province we do have to be sure.
Sympathy for the injured? Oh no it was their fault, As the well known partners in peace Sinn Fein put it;
Local Sinn Fein MP Conor Murphy said the crash had happened near a densely populated area.
Had it happened in a nice bit of bog he would have sent flowers and a get well soon card. And at least we would have been spared the mindless yobs and other riff raff attacking the rescue services.
