IRA bombing

 * "The IRA bombed the telephone box outside the police station early one morning in the late 1990s as a demonstration to the British security services."

Can we have a source for that? It sounds dubious because of the vagueness ("early one morning in the late 1990s"), and because the PIRA (which most readers would tend to assume was being referred to) was on ceasefire for most of the late 1990s. 86.138.18.18 14:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It did happen as I was living there at the time and remember it clearly, but I think it was more like 1990 or 1991, so the sentence should probably say in the early 1990s. I will look for a source. - Solar 20:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The date was 10 October 1992, I will change the sentence. - Solar 20:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The source verifies the date and the information "Device exploded in a phone box outside the police station. One person injured". Nothing about IRA or demonstration.Bjenks (talk) 15:26, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

"inadequate to hold terrorists"
Can we have a citation for the sentence, 'Recently media publications have stated the old and decrepid mid 60's Police station as "inadequate to hold terrorists.' I have attempted to find any reference to this statement without result. If it is simply someones subjective opinion, it should be removed!  62.3.115.74 19:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

It is inadequate to hold ANYONE let alone terrorists. Knowing someone who has been held there - and not even your average standard Islamist, a senior political figure accused of corruption in the Cash-For-Honours scandal (by the way, the only way I can support this is through personal knowledge of what goes on in Westminster, and the media and the truth, as usual, parted company way before the scandal even began) it should be knocked down. It is a torture chamber, maximum security prison and general House of Horrors to outweigh even 25 Cromwell Street, and we - the politician and I; I am his researcher and am freely contactable on this - are trying to get a dossier together on this in order to go public on it before Christmas.

i too believe it is inadequate to hold terrorists cos i have a friend who escaped whilst being detained, i have spent some time there myself and don't know how he done it but he did and it caused such a drama that the met tried their best to keep it under wraps but there are a few of us who know the truth. e-road resident.
