    That flag video will be on indymedia soon enough I'm sure

    They scream about the gardai and oppression, ok

    But every comment on that youtube video is filtered. If you ask a question or take an opposing view it won't show

    And the Queen has left the building.

    I'm glad all went well. It was a good visit.

    Not quite

    Stroll over to the Daily Mail site. They misquoted Gerry Adams, invented a headline and the website is exploded in rage, hundreds of angry comments about the Irish

    I'm not a Sinn Féin supporter but they twisted his words completely

    So not every British media is viewing it that way
    The Bit were he said she needed to Grovel ...yeah and that's just so wrong of them to misquote and because it's Adams , it will enrage many British who still cant get their head around how he and Mc Guinness are part of the establishment and your going to get some of that response anyway in some sections of the british tabloid media I'm afraid .

    To be fair there is just as much chance they are British citizens that are living in Cork.

    Who cares if they are Irish anyway? I've seen English people with Croatian, Honduran, and Israeli flags at White Hart Lane and away grounds this season. Doesn't mean much other than welcoming/support. Doesn't mean they are giving up their Irish citizenship and pride in their home town/nation.

    Phew! :D

    A fine week for our country. A week that lift all our spirits and a new era of friendship with our nearest neighbours has begun. Also a big well done to the Garda and the armed forces for a fine job well done.

    The Queen shaking hands with crowds on the packed streets of Cork. You can't buy this sort of advertising. Dublin = Scum lighting bins on fire, Cork = friendly welcome!:pac: Im only messing in Dublin the republican scum wouldn't have had much numbers in Dublin if it wasn't for the scum from the inner city joining them.:pac:

    Exactly what I meant
    Adams never said grovel or demanded groveling and what he said was very measured

    But the readers read the invented headline and not the article, thought he was demanding the Queen to grovel and we get 300 posts sheer anger and rage with a handful of sensible ones in the middle

    Why misquote him?
    Oh I forgot......this paper loves to stir it up

    That's what they do well ,pander to the ****wits who don't take time out to know that a Republican like Adams should have his views and opinions quoted in the right context and not misquoted for sensational headlines .

    I wonder will the junkies be back out to protest over Obama. Its one thing protesting against the British Queen wearing British football jerseys but rioting at an Anti-War protest will just take the biscuit :pac:

    Anecdote from the English Market.
    The Duke of Edinburgh asks one of the fishmongers: "What's in the fish cakes?" Fishmonger says: "Fish, what do you think?"

    One for Phil himself to be proud of.
