So 6 soldiers have been shot in Northern Ireland, 2 fatally. What does this mean? Are we on the brink of yet another civil war? I really hope not. Now for whatever reason (and I’m not saying it’s right), NI is part of Britain, and so when British soldiers are attacked, the very least I’d expect to happen is the number of military in the area to increase. This will, understandably, anger and upset the locals. All of a sudden, if we aren’t careful, we’ll be back where we were 40 years ago, in NI, and no one wants that. I severely hope that it’s not the restart of action from the IRA or anyone like that and that it’s a one-off incident. For a start, I’m not sure how Aoife and I would get along with our countries having such large scale disagreements! I’d like to be able to return to Derry in the near future too. We’ll see what happens.
