Investigation after car bomb explodes in Derry

Source: RTE (Ireland's public channel)

Police in Northern Ireland are investigating a suspected car bomb in Derry, after an explosion outside a courthouse.

The police are believed to have received a warning in advance of the explosion, as they had been clearing the area before the car blew up.

Locals reported hearing one and possibly a second loud bang, before the PSNI tweeted a photograph of a burning vehicle.

Homes and businesses in the area have been evacuated.

First step, similar to Scotland, would be holding a referendum to see if they want to remain a part of Great Britain with a follow-on question of if they want to join the Republic of Ireland.

They might or might not agree with what happened in Crimea. And E. Ukraine.

Many also think that it would be wrong for Mitrovica to be unified with Serbia when the inhabitants don't.

Or that Gibraltar should be reunited with Spain when the inhabitants don't.

But hate the idea of a unified Kurdistan.

And still like a one-state solution in Palestine.

Getting principles lined up in a coherent way is difficult. Well, not really, but sometimes principles and emotions clash in really unpleasant ways.
