Not like this parade.
Not ancient history.
The victims are still grieved for by their families.
"If anyone wants to gauge the atmosphere between the two communities in the north of Ireland, despite relative peace and power sharing, they should come to Castlederg and check the social mercury levels. The reason they have dropped so far is a planned parade to commemorate two IRA men who blew themselves up transporting a bomb into the town almost 40 years ago."
