They do intercept them quite a bit, even the Irish managed to intercept a delivery of a weapon to be used against the UK. We probably just don’t really hear about it much now.

So we have a terrorist group explicitly stating they are going to commit terrorism in the UK. Will the uk government do anything? If this was an Islamist group we would be knocking on their doors immediately.

Yeah, the british have a long-established history of minimal intervention when it comes to Irish militant groups…

If I’m reading it right… No we don’t.
A terrorist group from the Republic of Ireland are threatening “migrants” (anyone darker in skin tone than they are) in Ireland (Not part of the UK).
The issue for the UK is when those subject to these threats and violence flee to Northern Ireland (part of the UK).
Sure this group want northern Ireland back, but that’s not what this round of cockwaving is about.

Not sure they’ve seen the amount of fake tan and dodgy eyebrows they’ve got going over there. “Anyone darker than they are” must be legitimately pulling all mass and even light towards them!
