Walrus Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Next Saturday will be worse with the Caird na heireann and IRPWA marches. Utterly embarrassing from both sides.

Der Kaiser Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 For anyone who needs more detail on what exactly is happening in Govan I've summarised it below for you. "I think this so I'm gonna play my flute in the street so people know I'm right. Not in my own street...in someone else's. "I think you're wrong and I don't like your flute. I'm going to throw stones at you" "If you do that I'll throw them back " "I'll throw more" "Ill throw even more" Me - Why don't you both just f___ off.

It's been simmering for a number of years, indeed it's never really went away. As Brian Keena the head of Saoradh who are linked to the new IRA said, as long as there is an occupying British force on the Island of Ireland there will always be some who will resist it. In other words as long as there is a divided Ireland there will be some who will cause trouble, Brexit or no Brexit, and this has been the case since the GFA was signed, there is still a lot of low level trouble, but the vast majority doesn't make it to the mainstream media. 20 years after the GFA came into force and the Police in Northern Ireland are still armed and still have to drive about in armoured land rovers, I think that kinda tells it's own story.

It was organised by the James Connolly Republican Flute Band, and was due to include another republican band who are presently under investigation for potential breaches of the Terrorism Act. I don't think it was something which had been thought up by ordinary citizens of Glasgow/Lanarkshire who then decided to bring in a known republican flute band.

If I didn't attend Scottish football games I'd never give it a second thought. I'm approaching 50 and have seen or heard a flute band. Can't imagine many Corstorphine or Murrayfield residents turning out to see one marching down the street. To be honest I hardly ever leave Edinburgh, so realise I will have a rather narrow viewpoint The whole concept just seems utterly bizarre to me.

Police are armed because there is a still a threat. Fantasist talk. And that's the problem, because the mind set of the dissident republican groups is that there is only one Ireland, the North is occupied territory in their eyes, and like I've said that is why the police are still armed and still have to drive about in armoured land rovers, because there is still a serious threat posed by dissident republicans, the threat of it kicking off again has been a very real possibility long before the ink on the GFA was even dry, indeed it's a minor miracle that peace has lasted this long. One of the biggest problems I see, and it was probably never thought about 20 years ago when the GFA was signed, is that as the old IRA members are getting older and dying of, they are being replaced by new young recruits, whom the old guard the ones who signed up to the GFA have less and less control over and are often viewed as traitors amongst their younger counterparts.
