Dissident 'Republicans' disrupt olympic torch event in Derry.

Ghandee

Havent seen a thread about it yet, but these clowns felt thre need to stage a 'protest' at the Olympic torch event in Derry last night.

Apparently they were protesting about 'policing at the event', but I think we all know by now, these clowns will do anything for the limelight!

I'm disgusted that they felt the need to drag their pointless campaign into the historic event of the Olympic torch being carried through the city.

The people in the North have moved on from this crap, and I hope the eyes of the world realise that its a tiny minority of imbeciles that wish to continue this nonesense, and want to drag us all back down into the gutter where they reside!

All I have to say to the idiots involved is:

Not in my name!

Its a shame they were not doused in petrol when the flame was passing!!

Absolute scumbags!!

super_furry

Fringe lunatic scumbags who are intent on dragging this island back to the dark ages. Thankfully they have almost zero support now.

Pure_Cork

They spelled Derry wrong.

"The Peace Bridge".

How I laughed!!!

I am pie

It's the good people of Derry who have my sympathies. Putting up with these scumbags indiscrimately throwing pipe bombs at the police in densely populated areas, disrupting local businesses with bombs (hoax and real), murdering young men caught up in the drugs trade (no angels, but murder is murder) and now depriving Derry of some great international press and opportunity to boost trade and tourism.

Pitiful idiots. I await the return of the apologists with the usual pathetic "I don't support them, but if the Brits weren't blah blah de fkkin blah" excuse making.

It's also disturbing to see young children involved in these "protests".

One has to wonder just what nonsense their heads are being filled with at their young age.

It's better than killing people. I think if I lived in Derry I would be happy they were doing this rather than throwing a petrol bomb through my window.

Richard Hillman

Absolute losers forgotten by the world and society. They had a massive plan to get "give Ireland back to the Irish" trending on twitter during the jubilee concert last night. It was highjacked by One Direction fans that thought it was about Niall Horan :pac:

One club. Big deal.

I suppose publicility is what they want. Locking up is what they need. (the dissidents).

As I'm sure you are aware I was referring to your statement:- "i noticed that the GAA clubs...."

This is generalising the clubs. I choose four as a figure for you to try and defend your lies.

That someone decided to organise this disruption merely indicates the utter bankruptcy of so called dissidents, reduced to the most meaningless/pointless gestures.

this may give you a idea on the GAA in the north,competitions and clubs named after convicted IRA bombers and terrorists, a club named after INLA lynch, a under 12 football contest after joe cahill, cumann o useoige GAA after bobby sands,mairead farrell played in tullysaren, also micheal mcverry,IRA,gerard and martin hearte IRA,louis leonard IRA, paddy kelly IRA, mcdonnel/doherty park,lorie/campell park,ect get over the passed,or should the other side start naming soccer cub after loyalist terrorists ?

I believe it is actually tomorrow!

Does anyone know why it is even going to Ireland? Most unusual for the torch to go to another foreign country when it has already begun its tour of the host nation. Usually it tours foreign nations in advance of that.

Is Lord Coe another of these officials who thinks there is a bigger link than actually exists between Britain and Ireland?

Well done, you have single-handedly managed to derail a thread in no less than 14 posts, away from the original talking point about idiots protesting the route of the Olympic torch in Derry to some guff about the GAA.

The irony is that you wouldn't even have known about this story had you not clicked on the BBC link about the torch in the first place.

Take a bow, you deserve it.

No idea beyond it being some sort of weird needless (not to say inappropriate) sop to Irish unification sentiment.

These people where protesting police using anti terror legislation to intimidate and brutalise republicans and the illegal internment of Marian Price. They used a high profile event to bring attention to their cause. In the same way that the British are using the Jubilee and the Olympics.
Eyewitnesses, (who, like me, don't agree with the dissidents ) say that the police action started the trouble. It was a peaceful protest until they attempted to move them.
The right to protest must never be allowed to be rescinded, no matter if you agree with them or not. It's a BASIC human right.

Can't agree. The right to protest should of course be protected. The right to protest wherever and whenever the hell you want should not be , and is not, accepted.

Erm no.

The Olympics are an event that should be above politics. Some people still can't understand that concept and insist on dragging it down.

To whom are you giving the 'power' to decide that to? Not the people who are being protested about surely? :rolleyes:
To some, their protest is more important than the charade of happy families that the torch run is.
It was also, incidently, the reason why this display was indulged orginally. It was always political, the sport itself wasn't.

I am pie

1. Marian Price is not being illegally detained. Her detention is deemed appropriate by the law, she was out on license and broke those terms and conditions. Hence, she's locked up again. Hard luck Mrs McGlinchey.

2. When an unscheduled protest attempts to deny others the right to continue with an event already scheduled and supported by the police, then it is quite correctly moved broken up and dispersed, with arrests made where necessary.

If the Belfast marathon was on and these dinosaurs tried to prevent it by sitting in the road would you not expect they would be physically moved on by the police? I would, and I would congratulate them for doing so.

Censorship

Fair play to them, the torch is not welcome in Ireland.

The power to decide that is via the mandate granted to the NI executive, granted to them by the overwhelming majority of the electorate, who em masse spectacularly ignored any GFA rejectionist dinosaurs at the ballot box and will long continue to do so.

Take it elsewhere, almost no one in Ireland supports you.

They probably disagree with all of your points. Maybe if their issues where addressed then they wouldn't need to protest.

The police and the other relevant authorities. As is the case in every democratic and liberal society in the western world. Safety, security and public order need to be accounted for. I don't think what you are suggesting, people turning up in protest groups before having notified and gained acceptance from the authorities, is in any way pragmatic nor safe.

Are you seriously not getting it or are you just incredibly belligerent? You do have the right to protest. Protests will be accommodated and supported by the authorties, but they will also make sure they do not have any sort of negative impact on security and safety.

Would Rosa Parks be allowed to dissent in your model democracy? Would the 'police and relevant authorities' have given the nod to her 'protest'?
