    My own feelings on this is that they will arrest this person who I find hard not to loathe today, but they could easily arrest a Republican on the same charges tomorrow- the less the British state does in Ireland the better. However her comments certainly reveal an immense amount about the current thinking within Ulster Loyalism.

    In 2004 she called on Loyalists to explain why they attacked a pensioners home seeing as they were neither Roman Catholic or belonging to an ethnic minority- of course the DUP did not discipline her in any way. That said at least she is straight forward in her bigotry until people such as David Irvine who was quite happy to actually not only support to take part in the UVF's campaign yet publicly hid his sectarian blood thirst.

    It's one stupid comment from an extremist politician who has almost no influence in her society. There is no evidence that her idiotic comment represents anything other than an isolated and minority view. Lets not over-react, and lets not give this nasty individual more credit than she deserves.

    Of course the PSNI had to act in this case. Had they not acted they would have been negligent in their duty.

    Are you serious?

    She is a member of the largest pro-Union party and one of its most popular members with its grass roots.

    It is no way an isolated view.

    Was she not arrested by the Police Service of Northern Ireland?

    The OP makes it sound like it was MI5!

    You should read this

    It's the single most terrifying book I have ever read. It genuinely scared me.

    When she was confronted she denied it, then she tried to distance herself immediately.

    Awful person to represent a community.

    She should be calling for the ending of all marches if she truly wanted peace up there.

    But she wants votes so she fully supports OO/KKK marches and condemns anything republican.

    OO marches through a nationalist area, if thats not terrorism then what is??

    Pretty sure she got arrested under statute law of North Ireland by the PSNI not the UK government.

    The PSNI is an arm of the UK government.

    Northern Ireland is under the control of the UK government and ultimately of the English Queen.

    There is no such thing as a typical nordie. I'm also intrigued as to what you mean by nordie. Are people from Donegal or Cavan or Monaghan nordies because I live further south than a lot of them.

    There hasn't been a riot in south Armagh in about 15 years.
    I believe there was one in Dublin relatively recently though.

    Just out of Interest - What was so scary in this book for you? I thought it was an honest protrayal of one side of a divided society - Sad but nothing suprising.

    It is very possible that MI5 gave the order for her arrest- they have a substantial behind the scenes rule in the occupation by the UK of the part of Ireland in question.

    Read the report.

    I really dont understand how you Shinners can maintain the farce that you are on equal standing with the Brits in terms of control over the north still.

    This particular NI thread seems more than usually idiotic and pointlessly partisan. Perhaps someone other than the OP can try again.

    moderately,
