Bloody dead-heads. Still got the old hatred. Look at some of their faces. They got their five minutes of fame. They wouldn't have a clue about the history of Ireland. You have to have sympathy for them.

Whichever the ensign, it's still 'The Butchers Apron'!

The UDA, UPRG, Royal British Legion, Orange Order and representatives of the DUP, UUP, Alliance, SDLP will all be at the wreath laying for the Irish soldiers that died during World War 1 - the notable exception being Sinn Fein who still spurn the brave Irishmen who died in the Great Wars. Anything to do with Sinn Fein - IRA members being on German U Boats during the wars?

The fact that they could only muster around 100 protesters for this historic event even though they've been planning it for months speaks volumes of how completely out of touch with the mood of the Irish these dinosaurs are.

For goodness sake, remove that video. It's an embarrassment! The flat wasn't flammable, and all we get is a group of lads trying to set fire to it and failing miserably.

Yes these same groups think it is alright to kill Catholic Police Officers like Ronan Kerr and Stephen Carrol or blow their legs off like Pedar Heffron - only yesterday the father of a Catholic Police Officer in the Brandwell area of Derry / Londonderry had his car torched (again)

One crowd gathered at the Central Bank area of the city as they attempted to burn a Royal Wedding flag - they should know by now a Union Jack is a Union flag flying on a ship!!The imported onlookers including some from the north cheered and chanted “who are ya” before stomping the flag on the groud. How did William and Kate upset them?
