Because nobody is able to get near her because of the fear of what scumbags like the ones posted here would do.

The UDA scumbags were invited to attend today, did they not turn up?

The very fact we needed this kind of lockdown of the city and hugely expensive security operation makes it very clear that she is not welcome here. Compare pictures of this visit to pictures from any of her other trips, from Turkey to the USA...no crowds waving Union Jacks, offering flowers, taking pictures. Nope, instead riot police, barriers, closed roads. Why is that? Don't the people in these countries have work to be doing too, paying for their mortgage / food / kids?

That's a nice little narrative you've got there. The security has absolutely nothing at all to do with the countless bomb scares that have taken place over the past number of days - nothing at all.

So it's better to just create a false image of a welcoming nation through all the barriers and closed streets for the media than show the world the real Ireland? No wonder people have fúcked up views of the world.

It would be a false image whatever they did. If they ignored all security measures, the world's view of the trouble would make them think that the entire Irish population was made up of knuckle-dragging morons, who hate the British with a vengeance. The world wouldn't know that the vast majority of the Irish people don't give a toss whether the Queen's here or not.

I am more embarrassed and ashamed of of the arselicking rent-a-crowd mob inside Trinty.

So why exactly are you ashamed of them? They are all outstanding in their academic and cultural fields. That the scource of your ire?

I think that says more about our country and the tiny minority of scum than it does about Lizzy. . .

HellFireClub · 17-05-2011 4:50pm

In fairness to the Queen, an ordinary decent Dub can hardly walk down Talbot Street in the middle of the day for the amount of junkie scumbags who have taken over the streets of the city.

:rolleyes: Or were allowed to protest? Oh, but don't let that get in the way of portraying this visit as having minimal resistance. Just like the British royal visits in 1911 and 1901, the objectors are sidelined by officialdom because they don't fit in with the agenda.

And it's interesting how people who "wouldn't trust RTÉ" are suddenly believing RTÉ when it suits their politics.

Are you out protesting yourself or watching it on the box?

Ireland isn't like other countries she has visited though.

Think the clocks broken, it first read 00:00:00 for me but then went back to 19:11:03. Still though, even a quick read of 1-2 articles on the site will make most people realise that Eirigi and their supporters are generally a bunch of deluded idiots.

The very fact that we needed this lock down was because a small group didn't want her here and had the potential to cause chaos.

and that small group have no morals or scruples and would be willing to blow the f**k out of Irish people if it meant inconveniencing the queen.

I think you need to look again into those past visits. There were thousands lining the streets

Of course its deeper. You see some people presume because most people do not hate or have any Ill feelings towards the British Monarch's, that they are not "true" Irish (whatever that means)!

The responsible, progressive thing is to welcome the Queen. It is in no way helpful or positive to deny the Queen a visit to Ireland because we are holding a grudge for things that happened nearly a century ago.

I am not sure what exactly people want from the Queen. If its just an apology, I dont see why this should be the only reason why we should prevent her from enjoying our country.

Give it a rest. I find the "let's forget the past despite part of Ireland remaining under British occupation" brigade to be infinitely more embarrassing.

After the protest off to the pub for a few pints of Bass or some other British muck, then watch some premiership on TV and then home to watch Corrie or Eastenders. :rolleyes:

Do people think there's hypocrisy to doing stuff like this?

Politics can be separate from culture.

Everyone who hated Bush didn't forego hamburgers did they? It's a stupid point to make and has been made tonnes of times in this thread in a smug manner. Our nations are closely intertwined culturally, disliking the political status quo doesn't mean these people are eschewing everything made in Britain.

Balmed Out · 17-05-2011 4:54pm

The only inferiority complex is those who due to substantial shoulder chips are unable to welcome the head of state of our nearest neighbour and biggest trading partner. She represents the people of Britain, who to be fair are always nice to me anyhow and as such I welcome her visit.

The 'hero' of Drumcree - David Trimble - was at the Aras but we have to move on as he along with Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams are part of the solution these days. We all have to put up with things that we find distasteful.

I might not have been that bad, but I wouldn't have classed at as a peaceful protest at all. Everyone there seemed to be there with the sole purpose of causing trouble, or throwing glass bottles from the anonymity of a crowd.

If there had been more protestors I don't doubt full scale clashes with the riot Gardaí would've happened, but as it stood when I left, there were easily more Gardai than protestors at the junction.

Yes that is it exactly. You got me pegged rightly m'lud!

Its nothing to do with the misplaced cultural appropriation and the sicking forelock tugging of the hand picked uber-West Brits.

Cringeworthy in the extreme, cheering the figurehead of the murderous band of imperialist murderers.

Sure thats over the top but it sickens me to witness this arselicking.

It is a separate country, get over it.

I'm looking at the photos of protesters on the Guardian website and they are all men. Absolutely no women. They all need to get laid
