With the DUP proping up Theresa May and Brexit on the horizon the march could very much go ahead, hopefully not.

Drumcree march is usually on a Sunday is it not?

Idk.....but the 12th falls on friday this year



I cant believe the orangemen are attempting to look for trouble here and hand dissidents a moral.victory after the (rightful) kicking theyve got killing that young wan



They brought north to brink of civil war before over this....the sight of nationlists protesters been tore off the street by the psni will make people inevitably smpateheic to dissident attacks on them

Theres no good to come.from what they.are trying.to do here....every nationlist protest/paradea comission decision can be run roughshod over by word in boris johnsons ear is what it will boil.down to

This is always a tense time of the year, obviously.

But this is a very worrying development.

This is what happens when there is a political vacuum. Politicians should be ashamed of themselves. The province has gone back a decade.

It isn't the political vacuum that is to blame here, it is the sense of empowerment May's crooked foolhardy alliance has given the DUP.

Every time I would see it back in the 80's/90's I'd wish I was there at the petrol bombing, utter disgrace, like KKK walking through a main street of Alabama.

Due to pass through Portadown tomorrow, must rethink the route and avoids it.
Last Sunday we passed through the Feckin flags and the size of the stack of pallets for the bonfire was bigger than ever.

I think they are. Its more about building up their own extremists and dissidents.

A lot of unionists are dismayed and disillusioned with brexit. They see the practicalities. The DUP is totally out of touch with these people.

They need to find a reason for their existence right now. But their existence on their terms as an ultra right party.

Sectarianism has always done this in the past for them so why not try it again now?

That's all this is.

My friend is adamant about travelling up to Killough, Co Down on the 12th for the Killough festival to meet friends. Killough is a catholic area and the festival itsself is not related to the orange 12th July events. Its my opinion that the violence this year could be worse than we have seen in a long time. Does anyone know if the route there will be safe?

As is, I'm advising her against it. I think for someone not familiar with the north is would not be a great idea to drive up there on that day in a southern registration car.

Totally safe. Stop watching horror movies. Maybe traffic slow depending on her route and time she travels but that’s it. Republic plates aren’t exactly unknown here ffs. Enjoy.

Your friend would be grand, if they're gonna hijack and burn a car, they'll just as quickly burn a northern registered one as a southern one.

My personal opinion.

No issues. Now if she was travelling through republican areas of Londonderry then I would advise caution. Love a murder do those wans.

Don’t think there are any republican areas of Londonderry.

Drumcree will never get the go ahead why would the PC rule against Ardoyne then open a bigger can of worms.

Tell your friend to excercise caution, as evidenced by a certain poster here, these people will lash out at anyone they see as a threat to their triumphalist jamboree.

I would advise caution using the term "Londonderry" in Republcan areas of Derry, might get a few funny looks, but I don't know what anyone driving a southern reg car would have to fear driving through parts of the maiden city, loyalist or republcan.
