Why wouldn't they?

There's been nothing in evidence but a few die-hards and local gougers.

The ironic thing is that if the british government made them illegal the scum would find it harder to get them.It wouldn't be too bad if they weren't lobbing explosives around the place.:mad:

I think the Queen doesn't have much character really, just always smiling and waving.
However Prince Philip is stealing the show. Everywhere he goes he's having bant with people. Did anyone see him having to be almost dragged away from the Pint of Guinness. A character I'd say.

Some quotes attributed to him are quite funny if not PC.

"I am truly fed up with the opening and closing ceremonies. They are a pain in the neck." He added that he hoped to do "as little as possible" during the London Olympics in 2012.
"Do you still throw spears at each other?" To Aboriginal tribal leaders in Cairns.
"Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed." On the 1981 recession.
"If you stay here any longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed." To British students in China in 1986.
"It looks as though it was put together by an Indian." About a fusebox in an Edinburgh factory.
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them to pass the test." To a driving instructor in Scotland.
"You are a women, aren't you?" To a gift-bearing native in Kenya in 1984.
"The bastards murdered half my family." On Russians in 1967.
"If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she is not interested." On Princess Anne's love of horses.

From guardian live blog



The riot squad has made some arrests. There's a lull in the confrontation but there are still several hundred protesters facing around the same number of Garda officers. This is the most serious incident yet of the royal tour.

Live blog: substitution

6.55pm: This is David Batty, I'll be taking over the live blog for the evening.

Henry McDonald has just rung in with details of a protest by dissident republicans, which has kicked off near Dublin Castle where the Queen will deliver the keynote speech of her historic tour this evening.

Missiles and fireworks have been fired at Garda lines by up to 200 dissident Republican demonstrators protesting at the Queen's presence.

The protesters, who are from three dissident Republican organisations - Republican Sinn Fein, the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and socialist Irish republican party Eirigi, are confronting the Garda to the side of the city's Christ Church Cathedral, several hundred yards away from the back of the castle. A force of Garda reserve riot officers are forming up to disperse the demonstration.

The same bastards will probably be also causing trouble in Cork on friday.It's sad to seeing Dublin being portrayed like that to the rest of the world.Apart from the pondlife that are out in force today(the same pondlife exist in Cork,Limerick and other city) Dublin in general is a very nice city.I always enjoy my visits there and most of the locals are very friendly too.It's sad to see scum like that tarnishing it's image.

Here's another gem from as long ago as Mexico 1970


There were concerns about competing in the high altitude and thin air of Mexico City so the British team got the Duke of Edinburgh in to give an inspirational talk. He assured everyone that he'd played polo there on numerous occassions with '' no problems at all '' to which boxer Chris Finnegan piped up with "Oh yeah, anyone ask the horses how they felt" ?

Bring on the riot squad. These brave buckos are looking for a fight so let them have it. It'll actually be good for our image if people see these fools being utterly crushed. These fools out in the street arean embarrassment. I'm sure they'll all claim brutality even though they're the ones who kicked it all off by throwing **** at the police.

As much as i dislike Sinn Fein, i have to admit they are handling themselves exceptionally well so far unlike these bufoons who are out on the streets.

I don't think it's fair to expect the Queen to apologise if Mary McAleese isn't going to apologise for Tubridy.

Were you there yesterday or are you there now? Yesterday the police charged people sitting down. They got moved back to near where the flats are. That when scumbags came out and upon further charging things began being thrown. The people throwing stuff had nothing to do with the protest. There was an attempt for a peaceful sitting protest but that wasn't allowed to happen. I'm not a member of any group or was involved in anything yesterday. Hell i'm not even Irish. I was merely an observer from the side as i know some people that are in Eirigi.

I know people in there now and it's the same thing from there texts. They were sitting down and were pushed on to move. Haven't heard anything about riots from them.

Unfortunitely that wont be the case with the International media. Even Euronews focused more on the riots yesterday. Portugal's eyes will be heavily on Dublin as well. The positive that will come out about this is that the general public will be more educated about these nutty far left republican groups and that they are purely anti-Irish troublemakers and terrorist sympathisers.
