 :Pehalps I'm too close to be objective, but I removed a statement in the lead about the old IRA and the 1920 partition as being irrelevant to the Manchester bombing. I would prefer a more recent analysis in the lead; that it was an attempt to derail the then peace process -  which as sought to resolve the age old . It was a politically motivated, not historically minded bombing. The 1974 thing set off alarm bells (not biombs dont worry!) but the rest of the article is written in a journalistic style, outside context, so thats fine as regards accruacy. There is a bigger pic regards political motive though that I think is missed. Maybe a political impact, or political aftermat sect.    
 ::Your 75,000 or so students made me laugh, I'm think it would raise a dry warmth in the black heart of Salfords own MES.    
 :::Also, there was a power struggle within the leadership of the IRA at the time, and thoes who sanctioned the bombing were basically against the direction Sinn Fein were taking the Republican movement. Openion went against them, but the same leadership lead to the Omagh bombing. With that in  mind I wouldn't bother with the early 1920s.    

 :::How can you explain the IRA's efforts at reunification without at least a passing mention of the partition that made reunification their goal? Do you have any reliable sources that claim the bombing was an attempt to derail the peace process? I admit that's the conclusion any rational adult looking at the evidence would probably come to, particularly as the GMP investigation report wasn't forwarded on to the CPS, and the police got so annoyed when it was leaked to the Manchester Evening News. There's clearly no doubt that there were a whole lot of political shennanigans going on, but what more can be said about them in the article than is already said, without drifting into OR territory?    

 ==Ireland 9copying here incase removed again== 

 : No wonder all of the Irish articles are absolute shite.    
 And you wonder why I worry about english people aiming for FA on Ni topics when by there own admision they though the ceasefire begun in 1974 and admit they are unfamiliar with the sources. Revert all you want, but such arrogance. You have no idea how offensive that is. Forget civ, fine you bastard. Jesus christ, I'm only asking for wider sourcing!    
 ::Is that a euphemism for a week's block?    

 :::I would have been if I'd said it, still who said life was fair?    
 ::::You motherfucker. I didn't just dream it up and type it out myself. You said No wonder all of the Irish articles are absolute shite- I saw it, and your casual, louche, dismissal betrays you. A relaxed statement like who said life was fair only comes from the knowlingly secure and smug. And who the hell is Fred the Oyster anyway. who said life was fair; ie you just fucked me and you know it. Somebody is oversighting here.   "
