Sinn Fein/IRA to organise provocative march

    Sinn Fein/IRA are going to organize a provocative march on the very day that the Royal Irish Regiment are to have a homecoming parade through Belfast city centre. They have applied to the Parades Commission for a so called anti war demonstration of up to 500 people on the day 200 RIR return for a homecoming after their peace keeping tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    These brave young men and women will be welcomed by decent who know they have a very difficult job to do and do it in the most professional manner. I'm sure the vast majority of people will agree the RIR and indeed the rest of British Army, have suffered enough trying to bring some peace and order over there, without the terrorist layabouts who support Sinn Fein/IRA insulting them on their homecoming ??

    Brave? Bravery is having the guts to stand up against your superiors regardless of the consequences to not take part in an illegal war? Before you start with the regime change in afganistan, there are pleanty of places that need regime change! Just luck that the first place could be used as a training ground for another illegal war in iraq.




    I'm sure the vast majority of people will agree the RIR and indeed the rest of British Army, have suffered enough trying to bring some peace and order over there,

    They have suffered enough? Relative to the innocent people in afganistan who have been the real victims, What have british soldiers suffered?

    And before you think i am a sinn fein supporter believe me i am not, and in fact i see the irony and spite in their actions as they were one of the parties that welcomed george bush to belfast. But i do not see why an anti-war demonstration should not take place, in fact i don't see why these "heroes" are allowed march on irish streets after what they have done abroad.

    No mention in the original story about the IRA attending the march.

    Can I presume the SS RUC will be policing the marches? :D

    The timing is certainly provocative, but in the context of NI, a Sinn Fein rally is no more provocative (to one side of the community) then an RIR homecoming parade.

    Like Mike says, they are a local regiment. A parade is therefore not offensive to a portion of the community. As the Sinn Fein rally is welcome by another portion. Both (unfortunately)should be allowed the freedom to blow their own trumpets as they wish.

    Their just soldiers obeying orders, blame the politicians for creating the mess.

    What have british soldiers suffered? As at 26 March 2008, a total of 176 British Armed Forces personnel or MOD civilians have died serving on Operation TELIC since the start of the campaign in March 2003.

    And yes the typical hypocrites of Sinn Fein/IRA did welcome George Bush to Belfast, just to appear pro America on tv for their yank supporters.

    Lol - If youre going to feign innocence, dont immediately recognise what "Sooooooooo bitter" references. Someone who wasnt fakeposting would have been more like "WTF? Bitter about what?". Christ, I wait for an internet stalker for years and I get this sort of quality? FFS!

    Gives me a warm feeling inside to know Ive wound you up so much. ;)

    Yes, and the military of any country should not have to take a backseat to the terrorist murderers of Sinn Fein/IRA. As I said, most people will welcome the RIR, they know that they always do their job in a professional manner, but Sinn Fein/IRA will try and gather their usual rabble ( if they can get them out of the pubs and betting shops ) to stir up trouble - yet again.

    Why can soldiers not speak and think for themselves? It was politicians decision to invade iraq and afganistan, so anyone with a conscience that didn't buy into the "war on terror" bulsh*t that was being used to blind people into being more "patriotic" then they could have abstained from going on the tour of iraq surely?
    What have british soldiers suffered? As at 26 March 2008, a total of 176 British Armed Forces personnel or MOD civilians have died serving on Operation TELIC since the start of the campaign in March 2003.
    Not one british soldier would have died if they had refused to participate in an illegal war, instead they took a conscious decision to go to afganistan

    Belfast want the rir to march on irish streets for this? Brave men indeed.

    Well since you did not make any comment regarding the subject whatsoever, what else was I to conclude but bearing the resemblance of your user name you got the hump ?
    Sop making excuses and interfering, discuss the theme of the thread or KEEP OFF IT.

    A lot of people have very real, justified, issues with the RIR, and especially their antecedents: the UDR. It's pointless to expect everybody to welcome an RIR parade. As pointless as expecting everyone to accept a Sinn Fein rally.

    Both should have the right to peaceful assembly as long as it they stay out of flashpoint areas.

    But can you not see, the whole point of Sinn Fein/IRA IS TO MAKE TROUBLE and insult those and the community from which they come who have given so much to the army ?

    Can you and this Sand joker just keep to the theme of the thread or KEEP OFF IT. I'm trying to discuss soldiers acting under orders against terrorism and their families trying to give them a homecoming.

    Sinn fein/ira,Can you not tell the difference? You do realise that the ira have fully decommisioned? But im sure independant researchers just couldn't be enough proof for you, becaue your in the know;):rolleyes:

    Secondly sinn fein are not going ahead with this protest now as there is enough tension with policing matters so they are not going ahead with it.

    Other republican organisations who are actually against the war will be there, Eirigi and also the IRSP hopefully we will be attending and oraganising a peaceful anti-war protest to coincide with the disgraceful parade for puppets of war criminals.

    Does anyone know if the the RIRs comrades from UDA UFF UVF RHC PAF and the DUPs THIRD FORCE are taking part in this celebration of murder in Afganistan.
    dosent seem right to not include all the tribe.;)

    I am replying to your post .You refer to the RIR as doing their job 'in the most professional manner'. My link proves that the RIR have a bad record and do not always act professionally.

    You might also remember there was an anti war march in Dublin that 100,000 attended and that not everyone agrees with celebrating an illegal war.

    Since when was the war in Afghanistan illegal? I thought they were out there on a UN sanctioned mission.

    Sinn fein now have nothing to do with this demonstration. Now that your problem with sinn fein is over, what is your opinion on parading murders?

    This thread is pathetic, i can't believe i seem to be defending P$f here but the amount of small minded and uneducated drivel is unbelievable!! I do not agree with the politics of sinn fein but the fact that people here want to lob them in with "Da 'Ra" really shows how serious you expect anyone to take yee're post!
