Absolutely ridiculous. To honour this regiment within days of the confirmation that the PIRA have stopped all violence is insensitive at best and blatantly confrontational at worse. Are the government, via the monarchy, trying to see if they can wind up the nationalist parties back into violence or what?

There is very little makes me ashamed to be English but acts like these make me realise what a set of pillocks are in the driving seat. At least I can take comfort from knowing I had nothing to do with putting that inbred set of spongers into Buck house and neither did I vote for the present meglomaniacs in Westminster.

Apologies to all my Irish friends from one Englishman at least.
