    The protests continue in other places and this one went peacefully. Just to take the thread back to the OP.

    This one took place on the same day in the same town and also went peacefully. On both marches were more reasonable people on the streets.

    I suppose that they probably didn´t meet each other while on their marches.

    Opposite sides of the city Thomas. Willie Frazer spoke at the Loyalist Civil Rights march, would love to hear his speech but can't seem to find any clips unfortunately.

    Probably so, but at least it went peacefully and every community could do to their own purpose. No clashes, no rioting and no violence.

    Sorry I wasnt having a go at you in my reply, more in general. It's like we should be grateful to these knuckle draggers for not destroying the place and actually acting like civilised people.

    No problem, so we might misunderstood each other. I took your question as an ironic. Quite frankly, I don´t know how this all had went if they had met (more concerned about some evtl. actions by W. Frazer, as to say "ruining" a commemoration march).

    The fact Frazer actually has people who will listen to him speaks volumes about Loyalism .

    ... Moreover if you read that Paul Dixon book I recommended you will see just how much the British state schooled republicans in what to say and how to act....

    I´ve ordered Dixon´s book but it´ll take a while until it arrives and I´ve read it. So I´ll see of what value it is, though I´m not expecting too much from it in detail, but a conclusive picture of the whole story of NI might be provided, from what I´ve read in the review and on the extracts on amazon. But I haven´t bought it there.

    This was just to tell you, that I´ve followed your recommendation.

    Willie to get his wish for martyrdom.

    One of the chief organisers of the street demonstrations in protest against lowering of the Union flag at Belfast City Hall was charged tonight. - See more at: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/willie-frazer-charged-with-offences-relating-to-union-flag-protests-29101868.html#sthash.KpjI8bab.dpuf
