I don't know if anyone is familiar with Savoj Zizek. I don't fully subscribe to everything he says but his points on tolerance as we understand it today are quite pertinent. Tolerance whether it be in Northern Ireland or in the wider context of Europe and its tolerance of other ethnicities, it's really tolerance from a distance. I will tolerate you so long as I view you denuded of your identity.

The retreat from more substantive visions of justice heralded by the promulgation of tolerance today is part of a more general depoliticization of citizenship and power and retreat from political life itself. The cultivation of tolerance as a political end implicitly constitutes a rejection of politics as a domain in which conflict can be productively articulated and addressed, a domain in which citizens can be transformed by their participation.

Maybe you could get Savoj Zizek to explain that to the lads with the "dump would" sign and sure they could explain it to the rest of us in plain English.

This fella is videoing a loyalist band stopping to play songs outside a Catholic Church before he's attacked by supporters of the band.

There's more culture in a yoghurt than most of these clowns

Would love to see this make the main stream news but won't hold my breath.

As if it needed any more proving the OO have again shown that they are a backward, sectarian organisation today. Their decision to bus 2 OO lodges from the field to Ardoyne to meet the 4pm deadline set by the parades commission, only to get back on their buses and head back to the field where they had came from.

Not aware of their plans to make it home again later, but this act proves that they would rather march in front of Ardoyne residents rather than their own supporters.

Disgrace.

Indeed, you have to wonder whether the stretch of road they were bussed on wasn't their traditional route and important enough to walk on. Shows it up as the farce it is.

This video is doing the rounds everywhere - the more people that see it, the better.

Funnily enough if they marched around in a continuous circle in their own area outside their own churches there wouldn't be a spot of trouble anywhere.

At one point the band was playing the music of "the famine song", an anti-Catholic song which originated in Glasgow.

The famine song is played to the music of the Beach Boys' Sloop John B, but replaces the chorus "I feel so broke up, I wanna go home" with "The famine is over, why don't you go home?".

Yeah, he was identified as a Taig when he got up off his all fours to walk on two legs.

O'Neill and O'Donnell have some amount of things to answer for if they ever come back
