The IRA knew what they were doing. They were dangerous. They'd been practicing and honing for generations.

ISIS and Al Quaida are a bunch of clueless fuckwits and are not commiting a mainland bombing every 3-6 months like the IRA tried to.

Which group resulted in major restrictions to UK freedoms?

Meh, this is a depressing thread.
