    seems the last 2 days the various elements of the iawm have been bickering with one another about the march at hillsborough,and while i thought it went ok, there were those on the buses on the way back who didnt citing one group in particular as being at fault, was anyone else up there, and furthermore what did you make of it all?

    I was there. The guy Daniel Waldron who was up speaking for 'Youth Against the War' is a good mate of mine and I am the NI spokesman for said group and of course, Joe Higgins was there so 'Up the Socialist Party!' LOL.
    Anyway, I think it went very well but I was not pleased with several things including the SWP behaviour;
    1) they walked off down the road in order to pretend they were more radical than they are, in the process leaving the speakers behind.
    2) they drowned out Mitchell McLoughlin and booed Monica Williams after her speech because their respective parties were to meet GWB. I do not like Sinn Fein nor do I like the Women's Coalition but to behave in such a disorderly way without reason is ridiculous. In such a pan-political organisation, everyone should be willing to accept other (and not even opposite!) viewpoints.

    What did you think of it yourself?
