I see N. Ireland has gone bang! Nobody dead in Derry, but Brexit hasn't even started. Unfortunately my fears about its impact have proved correct.
Terrible though this is, it needs to viewed as part of the recent historical attacks and bombings:
Violent paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland has resulted in 1,100 bombings and shootings over the past 10 years, along with almost 800 so-called punishment attacks and 4,000 cases of people being forced out of their homes.
The alarming figures, released by the Belfast-based Detail Data website, were compiled from police, prison, court and public transport records.
They make clear that there are still thousands of people associated with paramilitary groups responsible for acts of violence and intimidation.
According to the website, such groups were responsible for 22 killings, more than 1,000 shootings and bombings, 787 paramilitary-style attacks and nearly 4,000 reports of people forced to flee their homes between 2006 and 2015.
Between 2007 and 2015, just 80 convictions were secured under terrorism legislation, leading to a paltry 48 prison terms.
The Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998.
The recent bombing probably made the UK national news because of Brexit, but it isn't an isolated or new trend in violent acts within the province, nor have I seen any reports that link it specifically with Brexit.
