Of course, random people were put in the H-Blocks when they had done nothing wrong!! They were completely innocent of all wrong-doing, alter boys the lot of them!!! Its mind-blowing some of the stuff people come out with sometimes.

Face it, there are murders, terrorists and criminals on both sides of the divide and both are equally full of absolute nonsense.

Now, back to this march. Has a date been set?

Despite the non-Dublin community's support for it, the poll currently stands at 29-5, in favour of it not going ahead.

what happened last time was nothing to do with religion or politics or any of that nonsense it was just an organised group of scum who saw an opportunity for an afternoon of violence which they could claim was in the interests of their country. I for one would be against the march going ahead for fear there would be a repeat of what happened the last time which was a very scary epispode. I don't see the reason why they want to march but i would be inclined to let them off if there was a guarantee there would not be any violence but that cannot be given so therefore i think the sensible thing to do is not to let the march go ahead.

That sums up Willie Frazer and his bigot mates perfectly. Well done that man!

Why would republicans want to march in Britain?

Do everyone a favor, and google "internment" and "Northern Ireland." Until then try to desist from commenting on something you so clearly know nothing about.

No I have but people on this thread are trying to put accross this idea that ALL nationalist were poor unfortunate persecuted people up north who were thrown into prison for doing absolutely nothing wrong while ALL unionists/loyalist were lively the high life.

That is just not true.

Given you hadn't even heard of internment, do you think you are well enough informed to take a view on who had been persecuted or not?

It seems like you've heard one side of the story, if that.

Any truth in the Rumour that the Love Ulster Parade will be led by Mika, who is playing a live gig at Merrion Square for participants afterwards?

Bring on the rainbow sash, I say.

**jebus** · 12/07/2007, 11:28 AM

Mika's gay!?!

Moderator: Any chance this could stay on topic so I don't have to close this?

When is the march provisionally scheduled for?

**mypost** · 12/07/2007, 9:02 PM

Hopefully Never.

If they want to come down here, they can be sure of an ahem....audience.

I think I heard September mentioned. Saw Willie Fraser interviewed on tele the other night, still going on about protestant community living in fear of their lives.
