It Must be Marching Season

[imtommygunn]

Someone should put an end to this shit show. The most needless cause of tension you could ask for here. Ban the thing and be done with it. Though that will have it's consequences too. Muppets.

Rumours doing the round that Bryant is going to intervene at some stage this evening.

Why would he do this instead of waiting for the court ruling? If he makes a decision now, he'll be in the crosshairs one way or the other surely, no?

(Not literally, hopefully)

[trueblue1234]

But is this case not just to see if they can take it back to court again. So would be another wait then while that happened. I think given the ridiculous decision by the PC/ PSNI it was always going to fall at the SoS's feet to deal with.

Announcement imminent. Bryson going mad.

Meanwhile in the real world i.e. that where sectarian bullsh#t is not front and centre this is happening

If our politicians were as motivated in dealing with these issues as they are slabbering about Garvaghy Road this country would be in a better place.

However as these issues are not wrapped in the red, white and blue or green and gold it is not on their priority list by a long shot.

Reality is our politicians don't want to deal with these issues
This  is the reason why sf/dup are front and centre of the garvaghy  road issue

If this is happening, would it not be better to do it on a Sunday night. Just to take the sting out of things. Rather than a Friday night?


I know politicians etc. like to 'bury' bad news on the Friday night of a Bank Holiday week-end but in this case, it makes no sense.

[Harold Disgracey]

Banned!

[p3427977]

Lockhart and Bryson going mental. Priceless.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Yeeeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I now appeal for no over exuberance

Yeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[imtommygunn]

What's going to happen now though.

Absolute state of this whole debacle. What were they thinking trying to let this parade through.

[AustinPowers]

It should never have  been granted

Even if  the March was faced with a dozen protestors sat down on the Garvaghy road ,  the police obviously were never going to remove   taken them off the road. So that was at least a dozen reasons not to  allow it

PSNI/PC  have made a total and utter ballix of  this whole thing.

[Armamike]

Yep. They need to reflect long and hard over the stupidity in letting this happen and the short and longer term consequences. 

There's no loophole for Bryson here.  The SOS decision is final.

[Rossfan]

I wonder did the Judges tell Police chief that they could find no legal reason to overturn the PC determination?

[Orior]

Bryson, tailspin, blah blah blah

[jb77]

Trying my best to read around this section 9, seems to very powerful and that the PC will effectively never rule on Drumcree again if it's not completely dead in the water anyway?
