There were violent clashes at the Drumcree Mega-Session yesterday when participants were attacked by a group operating under the name "Real Mudcat". It is thought that this may be another splinter group of Folk-Nazis, who have in the past gone under the names of "Continuity Mudcat", "Provisonal Mudcat", "Mudcat Defenders" and "I Can't Believe It's Not The Mudcat". This is not the first time that peace initiatives in Northern Ireland have come under attack, as anyone on the "Peace Train", which was delayed by a security alert on the line, will recall. Sir Ronnie Flanagan has said that the people of the North will not tolerate such attempts to disrupt the path to peace. Tony Blair has issued a statement that "we will not bow to the demands of the few who wish to delay bodhran decommissioning. The people of Northern Ireland have spoken, and they have said 'bodhrans now, then spoons'".
