Thread Name: The Story of Drumcree
Subject: RE: The Story of Drumcree
Thank you Brendy. It was what you felt you had to say here and even if it had taken 20 posts to say it, so be it. Maybe it should be considered as required reading, before anyone expresses an opinion on this subject?

It clearly demonstrates that it is not just simply a question of the right to march, as some would have us accept. In truth I feel that the majority of world opinion does not see it those terms anyway. Which only increases the resolve of those who do make this claim.

I can only hope that this current display of the 'monster', in us all, is 'the last roar of the dinosaur, as it marches to extinction'. The Last Roar.

The losers in all this, as usual are the folk of Ireland, who are again being forced to take sides and especially the good folk who just happen to be born into the Unionist side and are now, all being tarred with the same bigoted orange brush.

The good people are being severely tested, by the irresponsible and worse. It is how they respond to this testing that will decide the fate of the 'dinosaur'.
