What I do not worry about is people celebrating such events as the maze escape, full power to their elbow.

Will the courtesy be extended to those who celebrate the 12th,triumphalism, is what nat/rep whinge about when the mad men in the OO decide to walk the Queens Highway.

The two events are nothing but exercises in rubbing each others nose in it, where will this hypocrisy stop.

Why does everyone assume because you are Catholic that a boom in that part of the population will lead to a voting of a united Ireland, these people are not born yet and are already segregated. One of the causes which gave N.Ireland its problems in the past.

In fifteen years time there is no guarantee that this so called voting majority will come about. If we have fifteen years of normality who knows people may well opt to keep the status quo.

Maybe because of this uncertainty some see this as a reason to keep the pot stirred, keep the blood boiling, think of little ideas to remember us of the bad old days.

Only problem is both sides can play at this game and what does that get us?

With regards to saying that the people in England would vote to get rid of N.Ireland, what difference does that make? considering that the same would be said for separation from Scotland and Wales. The reason they are not given this vote is simple, it would break up the Union.

The preventing of terrorists on both sides doing their dirt should be celebrated, what is better than celebrating the saving of innocent lives.
