:00:48. > :00:55.24 years and one day since Warrington's heart was ripped out by
:00:56. > :01:00.a double bomb attack. The IRA took the lives of two children that
:01:01. > :01:04.afternoon, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry. Tempers macro father told me
:01:05. > :01:06.today he does not hate the former IRA leader Martin McGuinness. He
:01:07. > :01:09.came across as a very reasonable man, this may seem crazy, but in
:01:10. > :01:17.later life he was an easy man to talk to. They first met in 2001 when

:01:33. > :01:35.son. What happened in Warrington disgusted thousands in Ireland, who
:01:36. > :01:40.took to the streets of Dublin asking for peace. McGuinness would later
:01:41. > :01:45.condemned the attack. Many see this as a pivotal moment in the demise of
:01:46. > :01:49.public support for the IRA. This was something that could not be
:01:50. > :01:52.supported from the deaths of two children full stop I have four
:01:53. > :01:56.children myself, if that happened to one of my children, that would have
:01:57. > :02:06.had a very profound, deep impact on me as a father. Do you feel you
:02:07. > :02:11.respect? Yes, yes. The hymn of now, his later life. I wouldn't have
:02:12. > :02:15.attacking Armed Forces and police attacking Armed Forces and police
:02:16. > :02:22.officers. So you can accept the person he was, can you ever forgive
:02:23. > :02:29.him? Know, and the two can exist side by side. We've never forgiven
:02:30. > :02:33.the IRA. Or Martin, the IRA as and the Titian because that cover
:02:34. > :02:37.something from us. Forgiveness would feel like exonerating them.

:03:34. > :03:37.against anyone targeting suppliers. As an anti-fracking group is
:03:38. > :03:41.threatening to target more businesses next week. The
:03:42. > :03:45.unfortunate thing is, it's not impacting our ability to work, what
:03:46. > :03:49.it's doing is impacting our ability to contract with local, smaller
:03:50. > :03:56.suppliers, because they are the ones who are most at risk from this. This
:03:57. > :04:01.man has set up CCTV cameras at the Cuadrilla site, his phone number is

:04:10. > :04:15.basically. Please stop working for Cuadrilla. I was bullied at school,
:04:16. > :04:18.I don't like the idea of bullying in any shape or form Underwood put up
:04:19. > :04:22.with it. Some campaigners say this isn't just about fracking, it's
:04:23. > :04:27.about protecting democracy. The county council voted no to fracking
:04:28. > :04:32.here and targeting suppliers here is one way to get the message across.
:04:33. > :04:38.It doesn't matter to me who does those blockade as long as they take
:04:39. > :04:42.place. And as long as the people who are still asleep have their eyes
:04:43. > :04:48.opened and are able to see the truth. Bob showed me a Camp Nou
:04:49. > :04:54.being set up by protesters near to the fracking site. This area is more
:04:55. > :04:59.of a secure area. I think there are about a dozen tents over there. Are
:05:00. > :05:06.there any local people here? Quite a lot. These campaigners say it isn't
:05:07. > :05:09.just a local issue. They want to put an end to fracking across the
:05:10. > :05:13.country as the fight here in Lancashire gets more intense.
