On the other hand I do remember the level of contempt given to the Orange walks given by most of the people in the town when they came there.

You know damn well that the chant has got nothing to do with the reality of being against the IRA, if they were so opposed to violence why aren't the chanting **** ISIS seeing as the IRA aren't around anymore.

It's more an anti Irish thing, thinking most catholics or nationalists in Ireland supported the ira. It's a xenophobic, pro British army, anti anything Irish song. A la Glasgow Rangers. A la Linfield. A la BNP. If you were among them, or meet them at a tournament, the fact that you're weren't an ira supporter wouldn't stop you taking a beating I'm afraid.

Blinky Plebum wrote: » It isn't around in any serious manner like it was in the past, I could go out and shoot somebody tomorrow and claim it was on behalf of the IRA and nobody could prove me wrong, it's just there as a way for some people who want to be criminals pretend their actually a cause behind what they are doing.
