It Must be Marching Season

[Orior]

Let's not forget that the origin of the Orange Order was a reaction to the lifting of the Penal Laws.

They just didn't like these uppity catholics having the right to a public office, or speak their own language, or own a firearm, or buy land etc etc.

Time for nationalists to regain the backbone weve lost, not long till they burn Lundy in Derry, that can't be allowed to happen again, make a statement of our own. Stormont does literally zero, Shinners do the honorable thing and bring the place down, admit use have failed

Given the significance of this ruling surely this should be allowed.

What has changed besides a procedural error by the commission?

A bit like lads looking a free ticket to a  match there'll be 100 stewards with the parade.

The mid 90's between Drumcree, Lee Clegg, Omagh and every other atrocity you could mention felt like a time we were tipping back to the 70's.

Why anyone would want to reopen this is beyond me, it will be open season on other areas where either community has had to make accommodations they don't like.

In never ceases to amaze me that those who proclaim their Christianity the loudest are those who live their life in tan unChristian manner.

Incidentally, the church service at Drumcree is normally at 10 am so not sure how this a walk back from that at 8am.

The legislation encourages root and branch examination of each application and precedent is not binding. The Court will have to allow a wide margin of appreciation unless something fundamentally wrong with the process.

Its simple. The Brits never behave in an honourable way and are probably stirring the pot to make sure any move for unity is maximally difficult.

This decision by the Parades Commission is a joke.

SF should bring down Stormont immediately. No more f'&king about and trying to make this failed statelet work.

[DaleCooper]

Shinners and the peace processors look pretty stupid. Complacency has set in and they simply have to way to deal with current realities.

Of course they arent in danger of being put "out of power" like in a normal place where performance matters.

[marty34]

I think if Stomont is pulled down over the week-end, no nationalist will blink an eye about it. Simple as.

[Tony Baloney]

If the PC made a balls of the Drumcree paperwork then it's time Niall Murphy etc. were reviewing the paperwork for all the parades they have permitted in Nationalist areas. Get them out of Ballycastle, Randalstown, Newry etc.

[AustinPowers]

This weekend is going  to be mayhem. 

For all the talk about services underfunded, need more money for  x and y, yet the policing  bill for this  will run into millions.

Guaranteed no unionist  politician will ever mention that

[trileacman]

Lest any of you forget it was one of our own, Justice McAlinden, who opened this can of worms. The same **** who blocked the A5 at the behest of a handful of big Protestant landowners.

He must be a w**ker of the highest order. I sincerely hope I run into the f**ker some day.

[Harold Disgracey]

If the parade is forced down the road on Sunday there is no way the Shinners, and stoops, can remain in Stormont.

Yep. Hope they pull the pin and vow not to return. Can't see them giving up the ££ though.
