After Hours, one and only Queen thread

That George Hook guy is something else. He's now saying that we can be proud that we are now able to "stand amongst the great of the world". What an ignorant prick. He then goes on about how this story is the main news in Britain. Now, he's talking about how the Irish owe so much to the British. Jesus. The inferiority complex is breathtaking.

That inferiority complex is what I detest most about those who are so keen on this visit. Embarrassing, altogether embarrassing cap-tipping stuff. Cringe.

RTE have reported that a massive 100 people turned up to protest.

Lol :pac:

Just saw some of the 'Protesters' on the news. Lots of tracksuits, hoodies and even some pyjammas bottoms.

You obviously havent a clue have you. So you think that anyone that wanted could come out on the streets to weccome her? :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

The very fact we needed this kind of lockdown of the city and hugely expensive security operation makes it very clear that she is not welcome here. Compare pictures of this visit to pictures from any of her other trips, from Turkey to the USA...no crowds waving Union Jacks, offering flowers, taking pictures. Nope, instead riot police, barriers, closed roads. Why is that? Don't the people in these countries have work to be doing too, paying for their mortgage / food / kids?

bit of a shock when half the luas is full of guys in pajamas and you are the only one who pays

pablomakaveli · 17-05-2011 04:45PM

And now there showing them burning a Union Jack (successfully this time). They're making a real show of the country. They're a disgrace.

Why do the idiots have to wear Celtic jerseys all the time?

They don't represent Celtic FC in any way.

Shows their intelligence tbh..

After the protest off to the pub for a few pints of Bass or some other British muck, then watch some premiership on TV and then home to watch Corrie or Eastenders. :rolleyes:

So far (I know, I know, it's only been 5 hours...) the British Queen's visit has been relatively classy, as opposed to what I was expecting. The British Media have been relatively classy in regards to it so far too. Hopefully the visit can pass off without incident and increase co-operation between our two countries.

With regards to the protest, I do hope that these Republican lads turn up in Ringsend when the Northern Ireland fans come down and cause havoc in that area for the 'Home Nations Cup'. But they won't.

The have a clock counting down the visit of the Queen, according to it as i speak we have another 19hours till she comes

:rolleyes: Or were allowed to protest? Oh, but don't let that get in the way of portraying this visit as having minimal resistance. Just like the British royal visits in 1911 and 1901, the objectors are sidelined by officialdom because they don't fit in with the agenda.

And it's interesting how people who "wouldn't trust RTÉ" are suddenly believing RTÉ when it suits their politics.

Because nobody is able to get near her because of the fear of what scumbags like the ones posted here would do.

I for one am happy that most of us have welcomed the Queen to our country.

We live in a more civilized society and have shown our ability to show a grown up respect for a country that is certainly one that wants to be our friend. I see no reason why we should not recipricate and try to encourage and progress this friendship.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating and remembering the brave of the past, but by trying to move forward. Trying to get over our national hangups are a progressive positive thing. I see no benefit to holding grudges and hate.

I had no intention of going out to cheer the Queen (even if I could), but I think today is a day for most Irish people to feel proud once again. Even to those of us that were not as passionate about what happened in the past, it still gives us goosebumps to see the Queen lay a wreath at the garden of rememberance.

Today is a day to enjoy and feel proud. Anybody who wants to protest should be allowed to do so, but not at everybody elses expense.

Well it's a good thing that most people can think rationally, and will not base their views of Ireland on the actions of a handful of muppets.. unlike many in this thread.

The very fact that we needed this lock down was because a small group didn't want her here and had the potential to cause chaos.

But that doesn't happen in other countries she visits, so why is that? Maybe it's something a little deeper than "scumbags like the ones posted here"...
