Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8In the early hours of April 27, 1997, Robert, a 25-year-old Catholic, was kicked to death by a large gang of Loyalists, in Portadown, County Armagh. It was a random sectarian attack, and it happened in full view of an RUC Land Rover, 200 yards from an RUC station. Four RUC officers remained in the Land Rover during the attack. They wore body armour and were armed with pistols, plastic bullets, CS gas and a semi-automatic rifles......
We don't have to go abroad for reminders of how bad the RUC/PSNI are, there have been more than enough incidents here in the last 40 years to prove beyond doubt that they are nothing more than a bunch of "loyal" racist thugs.
Just like their loyalist buddies, the PSNI have progressed to beating up johnny foreigners now as well as being sectarian bigots.
How lucky we are to have such a fine upstanding body of men and women patrolling our streets..with plasic bullets and machine guns at their disposal. I feel so safe whenever I see them.
The PSNI absolutely befuddle me. It appears clear that they have no clue how to be a police force. I and my wife have been involved in community development work here in NI since '00. With her involvement with the local residents group when we lived in the Holylands area, and with my involvement in the anti war movement, we've had many an occasion to deal with the cops. Dealing with actual crimefighting and/or crime prevention is truly beyond them.
American right-wing personality Rush Limbaugh once said, 'Armies are designed to kill people and break things.' The PSNI prove this true in two ways: when NI was born the RUC was set up, not to be police, but an army; and as Mr. Gulusen's arm will attest, they do know how to break things.
It's up to all of us. Hugh Orde must not be allowed to bushwack his way out of this one, pontificating once again about how efficient his bunch of goons are. Every officer involved should be investigated, and when their guilt is established, they should be sacked. Mr Gulusen should then be free to collect compensation from the PSNI, and maybe even from individual legal action against the officers.
Hell, sack Orde as well. He's shown that he has no idea how to build an effective police force. He owes his job to politicians who only ever deal with the PSNI at banquets, award ceremonies, and other official capacities. He also owes his job to the knowledge that there's no public outcry for his badge. Well, Hugh, guess what? Your doing a piss poor job.
Shut 'em down.
Least used police station ojn the planet
Rosemount base, just like so many other police barracks was never there to serve the community. It was only constructed to spy on the people and act as a British military outpost.
No British police force in Ireland can ever function as a normal police force should. Rosemount barrack itself illustrates what the primary objective will always be - the maintenance of partition and the British occupation.
Thats why a significant number of republicans and Irish people in general will reject the PSNI, just like the RUC and RIC. If Denis Bradley had a shred of self respect he would quit trying to con the people of Derry. He has failed - abysmally. The PSNI have been seen for what they are - British police.
Looks like the Shinners have agreed to sign up to the PSNI as part of the Deal that was nearly done. Now that the Deal has fallen through, they're going to find it difficult to keep complaining about a police force they have already de facto accepted. Me, I hate all cops, RUC/PSNI, Gardai, Met, NYPD, whatever. Not at all suprised by the PSNI's latest. Still, might just give some of those ARN types who seem to think the cops might help some pause to think.
Theyve jumped through every hoop so far, theyll jump through this one too. They just have to pretend to their supporters they didnt give in too quick. They agreed to join the peelers years ago.
Why is nobody punished for these incidents?.
Why?????????????
