    no, I think they are a bunch of supremicists who enjoy provoking a reaction from people. Ignore them and they will get bored.

    Dum-de-dum
    The ol' 'just ignore it' spiel, such naivety. It's impossible to ignore - what do you want people to do? Wear ear protectors, blindfolds and lock themselves in a darkened room for a month?

    Pick any thread on boards that he posts on and he's there trolling away to his little orange heart's content.

    A real 'keyboard warrior' behind closed doors but in the open he keeps his head down, real low!

    La-de-da
    Lads, Alastair has almost 3 times the number of posts of the next nearest person (144) and is still getting a kick out of this thread. I think it's time people stopped giving him the oxygen of attention.

    TL;DR, Do not feed.

    Or black is white? You're talking through your hat. Like I say - sectarianism isn't monopolised by the OO, and we can't just wish away groups with sectarian outlooks, so best to focus on dealing with harmful acts rather than imagine you can coerce opinions - institutional or otherwise.

    You keep up your little charade if that's how you get your buzz. I don't really care what an OO sympathiser thinks, I will continue to call on responsible, forward looking governments to see to it that this organisation is denied funding and support, until it joins the rest of us in the 21st century or disbands.

    A bit like alastair!

    Have you noticed though in his posts how he never quite admits to being a member of/or very close to the OO.

    I thought all OO members/associates were very proud, and rightly so, of who they are?

    Maybe he doesn't want to be 'outed' down south.

    I don't think so. They will become a bargaining chip pretty soon and you can now see circumstances where the normally reticent and supportive Unionists politicians will further distance themselves from the sectarianism. Political reality bites hard the bigot or those associated with it, they can't afford it anymore, because image is everything in normalised politics. They won't be able to keep their heads in the sand and claim cultural rights for what is essentially, organised bigotry, and SF will keep calling them on it. Which is good for building a normal society, sooner this blatant hate mongering is gone and it's perpertrators ostracised the better for us all.

    At today's Ulster Final in Clones, Gaels from Donegal and Down gathered for their traditional annual celebration of Irish culture. They burned Union Jacks in the centre of the field before the match and their president reiterated his condemnation of the PSNI and refused calls for an end to sectarianism.
    He refused to comment on an earlier incident where St. Michaels Brass Band from Enniskillen marched to the Church of Ireland in the town and played 'Ooh Ah, Up The Ra' while the local Gardai looked on and refused to take action.

    Exactly. Unionism hasn't died in over a decade or the current cycle and although OO numbers are dwindling, Loyalist Flute Bands and similar organisations take over almost every town in the 6 counties, a few in Donegal and soon to be Dublin City centre if we are to believe the reports.

    Barricading roads, people out on their street and Direct Action are the only way to stamp it out.
    And I'm not talking about gun men firing a few rounds in the direction of police long after the event; that will get us nowhere good either.

    It's a lot more normal than it was 10 years ago and a hell of a lot more normal than it was 20 years ago. Sectarianism is wrong and cannot be allowed to function as it will de-stabilise society.

    I agree but it's early days and even though the daily bombings and shootings have stopped sectarianism is still thriving in some parts of NI (on both sides) and will continue to do so while those two muppets are the face of NI politics.

    Without a doubt, but we have to take on official sectarianism first. Make that unacceptable then the message begins filtering down.

    nordies have started to come shopping here because the atmosphere of hate is less strong. groups such as RSF and the Real IRA who have strongholds in Dublin are committed towards a war that few want and I cannot understand how such elements are tolerated in what is supposed to be a tolerant republic.

    there was a letter in the irish times calling for support for marian price who was involved in the heroic slaying of a British soldier collecting a pizza at Masarene barracks.

    THE PSNI is the police force of NI yet GAA members are still boycotting them. sectarianism has to be tackled on both sides.

    Wake up and smell the coffee? Heres a newsflash for you. Areas with intense bigotry, flag burning and discrimination are going to have violence its just a fact of life. you cant forget that northern Ireland's biogtry was used as a justification by south africa for their own racist policies.

    The north is ine of the last places int he west to get democracry because of the bigoted government policies. Wake up and smell the coffee bigotry does no one any good. Its amazing that in this century I have to tell someone that bigotry is a bad thing.

    However, the new statue has prompted bitter recollections about some of Gandhi's writings.

    Forced to share a cell with black people, he wrote: "Many of the native prisoners are only one degree removed from the animal and often created rows and fought among themselves."

    He was quoted at a meeting in Bombay in 1896 saying that Europeans sought to degrade Indians to the level of the "raw kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness".

    No wonder I hate the Brits? Nice try If I were you I would go back to sidestepping the bigotry issue. Hating a load of bigots marching through areas that seen people killed because they were catholic does not equal hating british people. I love british people and they have been nothing but friendly to me. I think that equating these bands with anything british is more insulting to british people.

    Aparthied continued into the 1980s. The international commission of jurists, a organization made up of lawyers and judges who fought for human rights around the world published a report on northern Ireland prior to the 1969 riots.
    During the summer of 1969, before the riots broke out, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) published a highly critical report on the British Government's policy in Northern Ireland. The Times wrote that this report "criticised the Northern Ireland Government for police brutality, religious discrimination [against Catholics] and gerrymandering in politics".[4] The ICJ secretary general said that laws and conditions in Northern Ireland had been cited by the South African government "to justify their own policies of discrimination" (see South Africa under apartheid).[4] The Times also reported that the Ulster Special Constabulary (USC), Northern Ireland's reserve police force, was "regarded as the militant arm of the Protestant Orange Order".[4] The Belfast Telegraph reported that the ICJ had added Northern Ireland to the list of states/jurisdictions "where the protection of human rights is inadequately assured".[5]
