I can understand SF (or any party) trying to make the police etc accountable. But they (police) are only accountable to themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel te love, I don&amp;#39;t live in Belfast anymore..Grew up in Ardoyne and circumvented the conflict. I was never spread eagled against a wall or abused by the police/BA. I was stopped the odd time and asked..Name, Age, Address etc...That&amp;#39;s the height of it. Seen the odd  riot (generally the aftermath)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at home from a distance the interment march..It was a great opportunity to reach out to loyalists and ask them to march too (maybe it was asked, I don&amp;#39;t know)..They (PUL-ers) complain that the HET inquires are one sided etc..Imagine CNR-ers &amp;amp; PUL-ers marching together for the same reasons (just like the relief riots)..I don&amp;#39;t see the difference between a republican or loyalist getting locked up for two years at 60yrs of age for something he/she may have committed back when I was still at Holy Cross Boys. It shouldn&amp;#39;t happen. As an outsider I believed that the GFA was line in the sand. I believed that until I discovered The Blanket (that was around 2005/6-ish)..Now I know different. My kids will never grow up knowing what an oxymoron (peace line) is...Or living beside one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call me Dave stood in parliament and said &amp;quot;Yes, bloody Sunday was murder&amp;quot;..No one charged. Stalker, Samson, Stevens 1,2 &amp;amp;3...No state forces locked up. A few months back Panorama &amp;#39;pulled&amp;#39; a program that would have shed light on murders carried out by the BA in the early 70&amp;#39;s..At the same time a report in the Daily Mail carried a story about an ex BA/MRF solider saying &amp;quot;Yes we murdered, sometimes with a nod from N° 10, sometimes not)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My problem (hope this makes sense, does in my head)..Feel te love, there is yourself, Anthony,Gerald Hodgkins and a host of others came through the same conflict as Ray McCartney &amp;amp; Gerry Kelly.  And yet they side with Gerry Adams.

The ever so German, Greek and Dutch monarchy that they are. Most do not realize that the name Windsor was created to avoid any public disorder / loss of control over the common man during the world war. If only people had taken action against Prince Philip. The same man who&amp;#39;s own brother walked with and supported the Nazi party.&lt;br /&gt;I was taught Irish history from an early age and also started to learn the Irish language at 11 years old. King Billy was of great interest to myself at a young age. I wanted to know, what is all the fuss about. My mates all sang about king billy but nobody had a clue about any of it really. It was a great eye opener to know that he went into battle carrying the church of Romes own flags and banners. Was paid and influenced by the Pope to defeat James. That the almighty king billy was married to a Catholic. He clearly was not a sectarian man and was driven by power. I wonder what he would make of the OO if he were able to see them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of comedic value, we now have Jamie Bryson standing for European election. </content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/1039826213874816058/comments/default/8690828921561394314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/1039826213874816058/comments/default/8690828921561394314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepensivequill.am/2013/09/in-what-direction-might-new-dup.html?showComment=1378286066719#c8690828921561394314' title=''/><author><name>Maitiu Connel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01875018019509086357</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Jk-6_WQ6jOk/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAEU/wHCvW0WMYNg/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://thepensivequill.am/2013/09/in-what-direction-might-new-dup.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-1039826213874816058' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4807238897188927967/posts/default/1039826213874816058' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1583486467'/><gd:extendedProperty name='blogger.displayTime' value='10:14 AM, September 04, 2013'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-1639456375306950331</id><published>2013-09-04T09:23:00.173+01:00</published><updated>2013-09-04T09:23:00.173+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mackers

Amongst Loyalist extremists they were hated for leading them up the path to acts of violence and then ditching them once caught or placed under public scrutiny. &lt;br /&gt;I myself have dealt with the DUP once and it was out of sheer need than actual want. I had needed to get some papers certified for University and had always gone to the Sinn Fein office for this. However, I have called into the DUP in East Belfast as I was passing through the area and was placed under a near racist assault. I was plain out asked if I even voted and if I had voted for the DUP. I was then asked, if I was even from the area!&lt;br /&gt;The 2 ladies stated they could not help as they were just “ civilians “ and the MLA was away. I was under the impression that MLA&amp;#39;a were also civilians. The next day I went along to my local Sinn Fein office and had my papers signed and returned the day after. My experience also included a cup of coffee and a chat. &lt;br /&gt;I have friends who are also from DUP areas who were treated like crap by the DUP when they had gone for help. Funny enough, it was actually Peter Robinson whom they had a meeting with. He avoided eye contact and did nothing to help them. Same for Edwin Poots with another of their friends. Both of these concerned parties went along to Sinn Fein instead and had everything sorted out ASAP for them.  The list goes on. &lt;br /&gt;As a teenager in a loyalist area, we obviously had the DUP canvas the area for votes. However, despite the poverty and lack of amenities within the area, they never lifted a finger to help the youth or the elderly. It was instead the PUP and UPRG who had gone to get new housing, speed ramps, new playing areas etc. I do not support either of those groups but I will give them praise where it is due. &lt;br /&gt;My honest opinion is that the DUP have failed the Protestant community. Failed them big time. The recent flag protests caused by their 40,000 horrid leaflets against the Alliance was yet again evidence of their sheer lack of concern for the people they claim to be for and yet again, whipping up the underclass into a sectarian frenzy. &lt;br /&gt;Now we have a battle for the working class support between the DUP and the PUP. The PUP are also doing nothing but exploiting the community. &lt;br /&gt;My main issues with the DUP beyond their sectarian nature is their ideas of Creationism, bible thumping and complete inability to run a government. We have a health minister who believes the world is 6,000 years old and states that gay people are sub human. I just can not support that at all. &lt;br /&gt;Sammy Wilson is just, well, we all know. &lt;br /&gt;I must add that I was introduced to 3 DUP politicians, 2 of which were MLA&amp;#39;s. This was in June 2011. They openly spoke of how they hated anybody coming to their offices for help if they had not voted for them. They hated all the Polish people turning up also. That really sickened me. &lt;br /&gt;Over the past 2 years we have heard Robinson try and call for Catholics to vote for the exact same party that has and still does treat them as 3rd class citizens. Unionism is in major decline and right now the loyalist community is in a war of tearing itself apart. It is lashing out at anything and anyone and the DUP is trying to exploit the community to keep themselves in power. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry that my post may have been a tad off topic. I felt I needed to type this out and share it with other readers here. </content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'
