    I don't agree with them or their politics but they have the right to exist, right to march and right to be heard. We cannot go down the slippery road of a dictatorship trying to ban those we don't agree with. Just ignore and forget about it.

    We are at the very beginning now but unless the Irish Government takes strong and unequivocal action to force the Assembly in Northern Ireland to reopen then I think it is inevitable that Republican Militarism will soon spread and a campaign of fighting start all over again. Leo Varadkar and his ilk make me sick, they really don't care about the North and their continued attempts to ignore it will only stoke the hornets nest even more. There needs to be more dialogue with action.

    Why are these marches happening? Because the Good Friday Agreement has been implemented and is now effectively dead, Northern Ireland still remains under British rule and every Irish man should have a duty to bring about a totally peaceful reunification using democratic means only. There can be no return to the past of fighting but our Govt here and in Westminster have turned their backs and are opening the door for these groups. They won't be silenced or censored as history has proven many times, they want to be martyred to further the cause.

    What is needed is dialouge, reopen the assembly and hold new elections and let these guys run and see if the people choose their ways or the way of peace. IF you shut them down and ban them then you let them win.

    Violent loyalists arent an argument against the removal of the border as per the terms in the GFA then,but there you are using it.

    Correct, I never suggested otherwise. I was responding to a post that seemed to suggest that violence would cease if partition were to end.

    Because it's traditionally been the easiest to acquire, it's use is nothing new

    You can get almost any DPM you want easily online, plenty of different types out there. Just seems a bit ironic for them to be wearing the uniform of the people they deem to be their foe.

    It's not available surplus iirc, for this very reason

    Yes but plenty of camouflaged patterns other than British are.

    That does not mention anywhere that Saoradh are responsible for her death.

    Ok- I am going to go into a little bit of back story cause you clearly don't know it. On the founding of Saoradh Davy Jordan said the NIRA was the republican army. Saoradh then released a statement making excuses for the "Republican volunteer" who shot Lyra. JD is a member of Saoradh through his own admissions, JD was also seen 11 minutes before the shooter emerged in his unique clothing in the same unique clothing.

    Unless a Saoradh member is now joining another armed subversive group while sharing political aspirations of Saoradh, It's fairly easy to work out what is the situation.

    Very true. My point is that there are other camo patterns to choose from. It struck me as odd that they selected a British camouflaged pattern.

    Totally Agreed, a bizarre choice imo.

    You could be forgiven for thinking that they are not the “sharpest knife in the drawer”......

    British army camo is Multi terrain pattern. The one used by Saoradh wasn't multi terrain.

    I actually had one just like the ones Saoradh wore.
    It is definitely British army issue.

    Well I'm telling you factually it's not British army issue.

    For clarity Marpat is the camo used by Saoradh

    Current B.A. camo is M.T.
    What they were wearing was the older B.A. camo.

    Look closely you have linked to a different (but very similar) pattern.

    I haven't , I was charged in a diplock court in a time gone by and one of my charges was listed as a Marpat camo uniform in suspicious circumstances

    It's not mate, but if it gives you comfort I will agree.

    The fact that dark glasses is part of their uniform shows the cowards they are.

    Dark glasses was a funeral rig out. Commemoration was beret, high Skrim, jacket.

    Funeral Glasses were added then after the facial recognition charge against Paddy McDade in Derry a few years back Glasses seemed to come compulsory to stop the Retinal ID.

    All a bit pointless and pathetic.
    I’m sure the authorities identified every one of them rapidly.

    Your uneducated and ignorant but I'm always here to correct with facts of course-

    Irrespective of Northern Ireland's constitutional status within the United Kingdom, or part of a united Ireland, the right of "the people of Northern Ireland" to "identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both" (as well as their right to hold British or Irish citizenship or both) was recognised.

    Totally agree mate, it's an ego trip is all. Saoradh are scumbags, they leadership is built on informers.

    Nope, MarPat is a very different style of camo, do a quick search and you will see the difference.
    It's more "digital" looking as the colours are made up of small little block pieces.
