Interesting viewing BC cheers for posting that.
The republicans speaking through forked tongue as usual, the loyalist fella Irvine comes across as honest and telling it like it is.
Not much we didn't know already, republicans admitting that the whole thing was about intolerance and hate and folk were bussed in from all over the place to be offended. The dissos wanted a riot.
They seem insistent on costing the taxpayer as much as possible in the hope that government figures will develop this forest path into a road so the marchers can be diverted up through Glencairn in the hope to save money on security.
Martin Og Meehan (who shall be now known as 'Burnt Rice Krispie Teeth') seems intent on turning Northern Ireland into an apartheid state.
There's no need for SUCH a big detour British Citizen.
If you follow your red line up, you can actually cut acros from Forthriver Way, across Clarendon Park playing fields (and woods) on a footpath.
See? It comes out on Somerdale Park and the Crumlin Road ABOVE the Ardoyne shops, which republicans think they own.
Mind you, the footpath/alleyway is a bit narrow and I dont think you could get four bandsmen walking abreast. Two at the most I'd say.
The best thing to do is for the residents of Upper Ardoyne and Ardoyne to talk to each other, and for the republicans to allow loyalists to come and go unmolested, and for the loyalist bands to drop the names of killers from their drums.
But just yesterday on the radio I was hearing a report about how people on either side of interfaces were often happy to have nothing at all to do with each other.
That's not my line Damon.Originally Posted by damon
I just copied the map off Martin 'Burnt Rice Krispie Teeth' Meehan's blog.
That's the route he wants the marchers to take - up some of the steepest streets in Northern Ireland and through a marshy bog.
Why should Orangemen and bandsmen from Glenbryn Park (for example) have to walk four times the distance to get home from Twaddell Avenue just because Meehan doesn't like prods?
It's ludicrous.
I agree, and if that's what's called inter-community dialogue, then you can understand why people would tell him where to stick it.
I have said several times that Unionists live as close to the shops and that roundabout as Nationalists do - but that sems to be one of these things that is always ignored, as that would undermine the sectarian ''our area'' mantra.
Martin 'Burnt Rice Krispie Teeth' Meehan and his fellow dissidents want an apartheid state.
We stay in our areas and they stay in theirs.
Where's that going to take us??
Orangemen can walk where they want in the name of inclusivity?
Yet it doesn't seem to work the other way round.
Did you hear the judge yesterday?
Perhaps you could enlighten me?
Jesus ! Is everyone in Belfast rough as f**k?Anybody seen this?
