Love Ulster Part Deux

Mr.McLovin

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/love-ulster-march-in-dublin-gets-goahead-30979343.html

LOYALIST Willie Frazer has said that the Love Ulster march will go ahead in Dublin "in the next couple of weeks" after he met with senior members of An Garda Siochana yesterday.

Cant believe they got the go ahead for this shít storm again!

Where's charlie bird ?

keeponhurling

Letting it go ahead doesn't really seem like such a good decision

iDave

So people who hate Ireland are allowed to march in Irelands capital.

Good. I'm no fan of Frazer but the toerags and scummers who ran riot last time need to be shown that law and order prevails in this state. Hopefully they'll be beaten off the street if they even raise their inbred heads this time.

DamagedTrax

im not surprised its going ahead.

the idiot element (or 'majority' as the case was with the last one) will be out throwing rocks again and the resulting mess will allow the enda party to bring in new ways/laws for dealing with protest...

..for the public safety of course. it would be cynical to think they'd want the protest laws reviewed in the current climate of protest

chrysagon

inciting a possible riot, and let do it?..if joe public asked to do it, he would be jailed!

how about St Patricks day parade as "LOVE PADDY" day on THE SHankill on March 17th?

Why not? Just don't pay any attention to'em. Unless they intend on putting up road blocks and brining Dublin to a stand still, let'em have their walk.

I don't really care about this march one way or the other.....but you can't operate on the basis that some thugs might not like something

whiskeyman

This is probably going to cost hundreds of thousands in policing / security and god knows how many court cases afterwards for all the offences...
And we'll all be footing the bill as usual!

It's just elaborate trolling, and as said elsewhere the taxpayer will pick up the bill.

But O'Connell St is not a building site at least so less ammunition.

From a cost point of view this live riot training situation works best, the Gardai will know the date and time and can prepare.

Just a small walk from the luas works!

I think it's no harm to spend a few bob showing the more howling-mad Presbyterian hardass types that they can have their "Walkies" down here away as be playsin' em, and no-one bats an eyelid.

SweetChaos

This is a very bad idea

And both parties are keeping said date and time to themselves despite haircut saying he wasn't afraid....

Have news for the poster who said they hoped scumbags and toerags wouldn't ruin it, they will be too busy marching :rolleyes:

Wullie will make damn sure everyone knows the time and place of this troll parade before it happens (who okayed this ?).

Earlier this month, Cllr Jim O'Callaghan submitted a motion to Dublin City Council expressing opposition to the march, though councillors did not get to vote on it as the meeting ran out of time.

amazing really...

must have been getting close to lunch

riffmongous

Dublin says NO! :pac:

Kermit.de.frog

They should have it on the same day as the next water protest and the two can meet at O'Connell Bridge and we will soon get the real side of both.

iDave

Hopefully it wont pass the Italian embassy.

Horsefumbler

this march may result in me getting a half day or possibly full day off work so it has my blessing.;)

Not a hope this will be allowed to go ahead, I do see on some of the Republican facebook sites that they are already spoiling for a fight. The Gardaí will also see these sites and they are stating clearly if this goes ahead Dublin will burn. It won't go ahead that's my bet security concerns will not allow it. It's bluster.

Any chance Gay pride could organise a March and mingle with them? Confuse the feck out of them.

Deranged96

What's the reason for the march?
Is it just an ostentatious bit of antagonism or what?

Menas

Last time it coincided with a celtic match on tv , said match been watched in that below ground pub on o'connell st. Hopefully such a coincidence will not happen this time if it goes ahead.

Were Ireland playing Wales in the rugger the weekend of the last March/Riot? Think it was on the Sunday, I'd say the Welsh were wondering what the fook was going on!

Well if our government hasn't the balls or political maturity to tell that massive troll to 'eff off you're not welcome', it looks like it will be down to the trogolodites to brick and bottle the messege home.

So be it.

SpaceTime

Does Dublin City Council have no concern for the rate paying businesses and LPT paying residents of the city who are likely to be seriously disrupted by this stuff?

Strikes me as a totally idealistic decision. It created a very dangerous situation last time.

Yes. But our goverment want to be 'inclusive', inclusive in a manner akin to the black mayor of Washington greenlighting a Klan march to the capital buildings just to prove how inclusive he really is. :rolleyes:

mojesius

This is a fantastic idea altogether - The last planned Love Ulster march in Dublin was such a roaring success. I remember it fondly, when our main thoroughfare was stripped of all roadworks materials and a riot ensued between locals and police before any Love Ulster heads even stepped off their buses.

In fairness, loyalists & Unionists already celebrate St. Patricks Day and it's a National Holiday in NI.

A Love Dublin Parade would be a better opposite.

macnug

Does he not see the irony of wanting to march in the capitol of Ireland. In his mind he's trolling but in my mind Its effectively acknowledging Dublin as a part of the same country. I mean, you don't see him parading in Paris, berlin etc. If he really hated Dublin, surely the best thing would be to ignore its existence (like they have been doing up until now)

Fratton Fred

Will Cavan be taking part?

It's just that I can find some love in my heart for most of Ulster, just not Cavan.

So these berks are banned from swaggering down the Garvaghy Road and they terrorise little schoolgirls going to Holy Cross and they are allowed to mince down the streets of Dublin?

Gavin Henson had a great game that day (for us)

Seriously though, I don't get why people have to take offence and react to individuals who are seeking to antagonise and create trouble. Willie Fraser is under no illusions that a parade/protest/march such as this will provoke a reaction from certain elements within society and that's presumably exactly what he wants. I'd love to hear his reaction if everybody were just to ignore it and let it happen, much like the idea of not feeding a troll like we have here.
Sadly, I can't see that happening.

mikeym

Willie Frazer is not welcome in Dublin if he wants to stir the sectarian pot.

I was in O'Connell street when the scumbags were looting the shops even though the march was canceled.

DavidRamsay99

Most of the morons who will riot - Don't you think they won't! - are not aware there is actually a plaque on Dawson Street commemorating the first meeting of the Orange Order or that there is a plaque on a house on Harcourt Street commemorating the birth place of Lord Edward Carson. They are so stupid and lazy they never bother to tear them down. Ask the muppets how many counties are part of Northern Ireland and can they name them and their walnut sized brained will explode. They wear Celtic jerseys but have no idea what connection Glasgow Celtic has with Ireland. They don't know why the Irish flag is green, white and orange and if you tell them that the orange represents Protestantism they will loudly claim it is gold not orange. They litter and graffiti the very streets on which the rebels of 1916 fought the British Army and they claim to be proud of the fight for Irish freedom but unaware that their great grandfathers and great granduncles were probably Tommys on the Western Front in World War I. When Queen Victoria visited Dublin their likes at the time were probably waving Union Jacks.

For the majority of people in this country an orange march down O'Connell St is at best a comical example of the kind of triumphalism which dominates politics in the north, and at worst an attempt to provoke us into a reaction which is best ignored with a bit of an eye-roll. Unfortunately in every society there exist those who can't simply laugh or roll their eyes but who must rise up to provocation. O'Connell St is not the Garvaghy Road.

Yeah this an interesting one, plenty of salt of the earth true blue patriots around Dublin city centre who make no attempt to find a bin at and throw litter on the streets indiscriminately. Dirty fcukers.

Good job there's no Luas works nearby with a ready supply of rocks for protesters!

Stocking up on bricks, Celtic jerseys and tri colour flags. Run these lads ragged out of Dublin

DavidRamsay99

Wait until the 1916 juggernaut gets going and we will hear an amount of bullsh*t from the Celtic jersey wearing shower.
The ancestors of the scum who will inevitably be attacking the Love Ulster II parade were the people pelting the captured rebels in 1916 with rotten fruit and vegetables and the contents of chamberpots when they were being marched off to captive in Frongoch.
Only a few hundred rebels actually turned out in 1916 and the majority of them were middle class actors, artists, teachers and professors but you would swear from the conversations you would have with locals that the whole city turned out to fight. In fact the locals used the opportunity to loot shops.
