    To be honest if the Gardai agree to this well its a disgrace. Their the ones who could prevent a whole lot of trouble in this case should they allow Willie Frazer to go ahead with it

    Let him march. Then let the rest of us ignore him.

    I saw a documentary about the renaming of Nathan Bedford Forrest park (NBF was the founder of the first Klan) to "Health Sciences Park" about a year ago.

    The current Klan planned to have a massive rally in Memphis, TN, to protest this supposidly defining issue for white people. They were given permission to march, and proceeded to do so.

    The day of the march it rained non-stop. 60 people showed up. The march was pathetic and larelgy forgotten, symbolic of the Klan as a worthless non-entity that society has left behind.

    That's how a healthy society deals with hatemongers.

    The guy has a point to prove though. Not entirely sure if the parade through dublin is the best way to do it. It is also coinciding with Rangers v septic game Feb 1st.
    I'm amazed at the double standards exhibited down here re our troubled past. This enquiry being demanded, that enquiry demanded, all the while republicans carried out a bloody terrorist campaign over the last century, blatantly aided abetted and condoned by politicians gardai and general public in the Republic.
    Hypocrisy whataboutery and lack of morals at its finest.

    I'm sure it will be manageable to police it as long as there are no construction works along the parade route this time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    I think our government won't be so stupid as to okay this troll parade.


    Edit: The government should respond that they'd be happy to have a parade that represents all the people of the 9 counties including Republicans, Nationalists, Muslims, Eastern Europeans, the LGBT community etc.

    Frazer would probably shit himself.

    Point to prove my ass, why come to Dublin to do it? All its doing is antagonising people and if anything it will make the situation a whole lot worse. I dont exactly get what Frazier is trying or hoping to achieve other than cause trouble. Its not like you would see a Nationalist parade down the Shankill Road. Guarantee it wouldnt even be allowed so why should this be allowed to go ahead at all? Its people like Frazier who insist on re-opening old wounds when I guarantee a lot of people up North today would rather move on from the horrible past instead of this constant segregation which is provoked by the minority of bigoted idiots remaining

    Hypocrisy indeed. Its seems you only see one side of the coin and that is what the IRA did. Not condoning all they did by any means but the UVF werent much better in all fairness. You condoning what they did?

    Its weird how Frazier has risen to prominence/infamy in recent years, my dad actually met him in the early 2000's and described him as a bitter man too scarred by his past. Its not surprising that Frazier is the way he is, what is disappointing is that he seems to speak a message that still resonates with a segment in NI.

    From that pic, of give/take about fifty people ONE lad is wearing a Celtic jersey.

    On the other hand, they all appear to be wearing footwear.

    Two.

    You willing to bet on the greater frequency of either jersey appearing at this proposed event?

    No. I wouldn't either, if I were you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,709 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I listened to that man the other day. The hate in his voice for all things Irish...Unbelievable. And wanting to come down South to antagonize a people that he despises. Nasty individual.

    Thats accurate but what I find interesting that they have latched onto Willie Frazer, I hated Paisley and all he stood for, but I could understand appeal of the charisma and oratorical skills and he was a smart man, Wee Willie Frazer is just a joke if you look at him seriously yet he has built this following.

    I'm not trying to offend you, and I'm sorry if I have, but seriously.

    To make a claim about "Celtic jerseys" then post a pic that shows ONE Jersey from a crowd of about fifty people to bolster your assertion, is a bit foolish to be fair.

    Then the cherry on the top is asking me if I wanna wager a bet on two different sport clubs jerseys at an event that probably won't even happen.........

    C'mon now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,882 ✭✭✭Saipanne


    I was referring to the "up the ra" types, more than the followers of a Scottish football team, to be honest. Although the line that divides the two is often blurred. I just imagine they will relish the chance for a ruck.

    The sad fact is these fringe loons need each other to survive, despite their hatred for each other. In terms of personality, they are very similar, I'd imagine. In another life, they would be mates.

    ****ing idiots.

    Big deal! Paddy Doyle lost his daughter, two baby granddaughters & son-in law to loyalists in the Dublin bombings, you don't hear him moaning on about how he hates British or Protestant people or how the FA are terrorists or organizing provocative marches threw Belfast.

    A fair point, but it doesn't stop the resident Irish Republicans here go on endlessly about the British empire day in day out. There are plenty of idiots on both sides. Both think they have the moral upper hand.

    I asked about the south. What uniformed terrorists were the PIRA fighting in the South? Not really getting clarity here. If people honestly believe that the Gardai or Irish Defense force were terrorists then they are in dangerous idiots stuck in a time warp.

    /QUOTE]

    Its pretty clear I'm not condoning him but there is plenty of extremists up north that reached their positions through personal events, not everybody turns the other cheek or can forgive. I'm a nationalist myself but if you think that there isn't people from the Republican side that are just as bitter as Willie Frazer your sadly mistaken, whats interesting and worrying though is that they don't have the traction Frazer does among some of the loyalist community.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    Also Flagstaff Hill....

    I was just reading up on that and saw this:
    On 28 October 1971, a major confrontation took place between British and Irish Army Ranger Wing (ARW) troops at a cross-border bridge ... A British patrol was laying explosive charges to destroy the bridge ... A Garda Síochána officer stated that the bridge was at least half in the Republic, and the British commanding officer disputed this. The Irish authorities then deployed a unit of soldiers armed with H&K MP5 submachine guns, and the Irish commander demanded that the British surrender their explosives. Following a 90-minute standoff, the British withdrew.

    Critics have noted that FAIR has named Robert McConnell, a member of the Ulster Defence Regiment, as a victim of IRA violence. McConnell was implicated in both the killing of the brothers of Eugene Reavey on 4 January 1976, and in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 197

    Well that's something I didn't know about them. No way should they be allowed to desecrate the memories of those killed in the biggest mass murder in Ireland or Britain. That would be like Sinn Fein walking past that chippers on the Shankill Road & holding pictures of Thomas Begely & the other bombers.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭DarkyHughes


    And to just to make another point like Paddy Doyle.

    Remember the Father of Tim Parry the boy killed in the Warrington bomb? He went on the Late Late Show & tried to bring something positive out of his sons death. All this Frazer *sshole is doing is destroying the memory of the people killed that by bringing about such negativity into the air.

    And an awful lot of people still hold Frazer's bigoted views. Loyalism will have to change just like Republicanism did otherwise Loyalism will self-destruct

    It's a win-win for Willie. If he marches down Dublin city centre, Irish republicans have to stomach looking at an Orange style march passing right through the heart of their capital city. If trouble erupts, which I believe is inevitable, Willie can correctly claim that Dublin and the RoI as a whole is not welcoming towards the people of Ulster.
    Loyalism will have to change just like Republicanism did otherwise Loyalism will self-destruct

    What changes have their been in Republicanism? Last I checked it was still based on the same old grudges, with the same old rhetoric.
