I was in Belfast in the summer of 90 and it seemed that every misparked car was seen as a bomb. I just remember seeing several of them control exploded/
& outside of the street theatre aspects people just seemed to ignore it. I guess with everything that is a near constant nuisance the mind blanks it.
I remember when the group of people i was with first arrived in Belfast and we met a local alternative type we stood talking in the street as an armoured landrover went by. One of us asked what it was, since being a bunch of people who hung around Edinburgh we hadn't really seen the like, this local had pretty much erased it from his conscious mind or similar and had to have the thing specificaly described.
Does seem a bit iffy Julian cancelling like this. Better drop the urban guerilla pose really. Like we could have a revolution as long as its done comfortably?
