Martin McGuinness says Northern Ireland’s Peace Process put at risk by rioting in Belfast

Looked to me like middle-class unionist knights and bishops were using their working-class loyalist pawns on the political chess board that is parliamentary democracy. Sadly, their is historical precedent for Ulster unionism/loyalism to resort to a Carsonian imperative if their conditional loyalty isn't indulged. Question is, will the government to which they claim loyalty have the backbone to face down threats to its legitimacy unlike as in times past.

I wonder how many arrest would've been made if it were a nationalist riot. The hypocrisy of the DUP, they will not condemn the orange bigots and wish nationalists would go away if they (the DUP) had their way they would install an "Israeli" like solution and relegate nationalists to the desert.

Warren. Look too at the statistics in relation to police casualties and so few baton rounds (plastic bullets) being fired. God forbid they would ever kill a protestant rioter. As for Martin, he should change the old cracked record. The peace process is history and exposed for what it really was. A scam.

With respect no one was rerouted. The parades commission placed a restriction on bands playing whilst walking past the chapel and barred the offending band from the previous march taking part. Both were breeched. Only hours before the march sen unionist politicians including fm Peter Robinson signed a statement lamblasting the commission. Yet Martin Mc Guiness has failed to call out his bedmate on the subject.

The british loyalist orange mob paraded around the church with there drums and flutes singing "the famine is over why don,t you go home" and Nigel Dodds the member of the british parliament complained bitterly when this mob were asked to reroute their bigoted parade.This is the thrash that Irish nationals have to put up with every year in the north east of our nation.

Don't they need permits to Parade? Why aren't te Parades conducted in friendly territtory? Seems like the organizers and permitters need to rethink.

stamp on it hard or we will back where we started.and the majority of people do not want that.

The rioting by Orange mobs in the north seems to have gone unnoticed by the British apologist who usually rant on this site.The fallsers and the Dano's of the world are hiding their shame.

Rioting is no way to solve problems and does show how ignorant some idiots can be !!

Martin`s Whiny Hysterics sound like one of Alan Ryan`s jilted Lovers ! :):):)

I never thought it would be otherwise - and with southies many of them now in the british army, australia, canada, the usa and elswhere. Presbyerian John Michel whose hatred of the occupier expressed in his Jail Journal that sweet talking with the Saxon wont cut it - it'll take blood. Such words from an amazing human was quite stunning - this in 1849.
