Bigger 'Love Ulster' parade planned for Dublin...

[OhNoYouDidn't]

I'm from Derry. I grew up in the 70's and 80's. On that basis I think I've quite a fine grasp on sectarian anger, having encountered more of it in any given week than you ever will in a lifetime.

Tolerance is defined as "a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own".

Maybe you meant intolerance??

On the basis you don't recognise alleged murderers being allowed freedom of expression (hard for many people to stomach I admit) I presume you are against the peace process in the North, given that murderers from both sides now hold representative positions?

thats quite the jump there ORA. Derry native resorts to drama shocker.

how does love ulster do dublin contribute to the peace process? there is no tangible or legitimate reason for this march. they arent protesting to change opinion or commerating in a resonable manner. its a clumsy political stunt and im entitled to object

[anto1208]

Find a poll, any poll, on whether they should march or not, and there's your answer.

I asked the polish guy here in work .... He says he doesnt care either

[fbtn]

Any event were Charlie Bird gets a smack in the chops should be run every year.

You claimed I didn't understand the anger the Dublin bombings caused.

I believe I understand it only too well. That was the point.

Tolerance is about ignoring morons like Love Ulster. Without the oxygen of publicity and fuss that they need to survive, then they will die away.

9 out of 10 people in Ireland are Irish, but still Anto couldn't find one to ask.

Think you missed his joke.

[pete]

I predicted aggro, and hey presto, it happened. It happened because of ignorance from the government and incompetence from the gardai.

I thought the violence happened becuse some rent-a-thugs decided they would attack the Gardai. Silly me.

[OhNoYouDidn't]

so why dont these guys attack the Gardai every day? Oh thats right.....

interesting that its mostly non-Dubs defending the UDA's right to march in Dublin.....

I live in Dublin.

Do I need a stall in Moore Street before my view counts?

Interesting letter in the letter's page of the Indo today (my mother buys it, and I'm a sucker for any newpaper thats put in front of me), where some guy write sin to say that the Love Ulster march should be allowed march through Dublin in recognition of victims of Republican attacks, but only if there is a similar march in memory of victims of Loyalist attacks allowed through Loyalist areas in Belfast on the same day.

I'd be all for that idea, as we might see Love Ulster's true colours when presented with that idea

[Bluebeard]

Dunno about this Love Parade thing myself - Thousands of semi-clad camp Germans, coming over here, taking our righteous indignation...

[RogerMilla]

but only if there is a similar march in memory of victims of Loyalist attacks allowed through Loyalist areas in Belfast on the same day.

and let love ulster march in ulster as well

great sound track though , far better than the flute stuff

[jebus]

They've never expressed even the slightest interest in doing that, which might tell you a bit more about their motives for wanting to march in Dublin

i thought a previous poster said they are banned up there ?

Anyway we should not be allowing this , it's in no way inclusive and although there can be no excuses for rioting because some group want to march it does seem to be an incitement

[bennocelt]

Most of those who caused trouble, leaving aside the local scumbag looters who wouldnt know the difference between a republican and loyalist, where from the UK. (I.E. not irish people).

bennocelt, many people dont want hardcore republican trash walking down the street but we have to put up with it. Whether you like it or not, in the eyes of the vast majority of people in the 26 counties, there are equal proportions of trash on both sides.

From the UK? what are you on about...............so there were no Irish people involved at all......were they British? cause that doesnt make sense!


funny how you can talk for everybody in the 26 counties, are you Jesus or what

[Saint Tom]

did love ulster not happen last saturday? or are the guys with the rainbow flags and hot pants not them??

[John83]

What if he had an umbrella and was going quite quickly and purposefully?

Depends. Is he singing in the rain?

did love ulster not happen last saturday? or are the guys with the rainbow flags and hot pants not them??

I've long thought they should put both of those marches on at the same time. People throwing bricks at unionists might still get some sympathy from some quarters, but throwing bricks at a gay pride parade? That's a bit out of fashion.

Could be, but if Willie Frazier kicked up enough stink about how they are a support group for victims of Loyalist bombings they might get the go ahead, or maybe the new Northern parliament might have a bit more balls then our money grabbing, sleave ridding, head in the sand at all times government?
