A couple of local stories today.
First off, here's what happens when you appease terrorists- members of the IRA may end up serving in the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The IRA, if you didn't know, is the same terrorist group which carried out a system of deliberate assassinations of police officers during their campaign. Exactly what this country needs- thugs in uniform. At the moment the IRA and other terrorist groups continue to "police" their own communities, which usually involved knee-cappings. The IRA are essentially an organised crime gang now- their control is usually aimed at controlling their own criminal interests, particularly the drug trade.
Second, is more heartening news - 36 people have been arrested and 17 foreign nationals have been detained across the province on immigration offences and are facing deportation. The remainder are being investigated. Whether this is part of a UK-wide campaign aimed at curtailing illegal immigrants I'm not sure but at least it's a sign that something is being done. The targeting of Nigerians may have something to do with the fact that a number of Nigerians have been involved in criminal activity here- I worked briefly for one of the banks here and we were warned about fraud being carried out by a Nigerian gang.
Of the number apprehended twenty four of them were illegal entrants.
