Can anyone tell me what I'm saying wrong?
The fact that Boston, the headquarters of NORAID, an IRA fundraising organisation, suffers not only a terrorist attack but one which has IRA hallmarks is deeply ironic and whilst this irony is obviously lost on North Americans - as this thread shows - it isn't lost on Britons.
And I was offended by Boston raising money for the IRA.
But I will say again: The fact that Boston, the headquarters of IRA fundraising organisation NORAID, suffers not only a terrorist attack but one which has the hallmarks of the IRA (bombs in litter bins, etc) is deeply ironic and deeply uncanny.
