Subject: RE: BS: Ban on 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley'
Came across this news item.

"Controversy surrounds the carrying of a banner commemorating a UDA killer in the Twelfth of July Orange parade in Belfast city centre. It is widely accepted that Joe Bratty, who was eventually killed by the IRA in 1994, murdered Teresa Clinton in a sectarian attack a few months earlier. He is also believed to have been involved in the murder of five Catholics in Seán Graham's Bookmakers in 1992. An Orange Order spokesman refused to comment other than to say that everything that happened on the Twelfth would be reviewed."

Nothing changes or is likely to.
