INAPPROPRIATE THOUGHT OF THE DAY

[aeroport_art]

This week’s Economist has an article on recent rioting in Northern Ireland.

In Armagh the dissidents recruited veteran IRA bomb-makers to make trouble; in Belfast they relied on youngsters. Scores made their way to Ardoyne, swelling the rioting ranks. The dissident groups, who are small but deadly, hope some of the teenagers will take the traditional route of graduating from recreational rioting to fully-fledged terrorism.

*note: Colin Morgan is from Armagh

How wrong of me is it to read this article, then immediately want a 1920’s AU where Colin Morgan is part of the Irish Republican Army and Bradley James is on the British side? Ensue: torrid romance stricken with violence and grief.

I know, I know :P I’ll go back to my corner now.

Not wrong, because I've been wanting this for so long :x

Except...have you seen that touched by an angel episode? That Liam Neesan (sp?) narrated about the present day IRA? And the Catholics and the Protestants come together with love? I want that so badly.

Oh my god. That sounds...unf.

(I have a hankering for British!Supernatural where Dean listens to Nick Cave and punk and other stuff like that)

NOT WRONG AT ALL. That was my very first thought as soon as I the clip of the article. How could it be wrong when it feels so, so right?

I personally love the idea, you should write it.

Still so sad that the situation there never seems to really go away. :(

Hmm.. I'm sure it could be done well but I still remember stories of the IRA blowing up cars and putting bombs in bins in tube stations so it doesn't really appeal to me. It's a subject that would have to be dealt with carefully.

Indeed. Hence the return to my corner. It was a fleeting moment of indulging a guilty thought >_< Although you're right, if done by an extremely competent writer it could be mind-blowing.
