Thread: Freedom Of Speech

Fair point on the first point as I did mention you, but as I said, I was talking about Scotland, and I have a suspicion that you were talking about NI. As for googling for IRA attacks on the Connolly Association - which I did for about two minutes and which I have never heard of, but there were often squabbles between branches of Republicanism (Officials v Provisionals, provos and INLA, and so maybe the Connolly Association pissed of some...

True unionists encompass a lot of people but I said NI unionist paramilitaries and I'll take you word for it that they have no link to any far right groups in the UK and far right UK groups have no links to certain NI unionist paramilitaries.

If it is an official church notice (and not a piss take) then it is offensive. If you look closely Fred, there's a website address at the top of the sign. It would appear to be one of those where they have a standard picture and you can put your own text onto...

This is relevant to what? And how? Is the march still banned? Lots of stuff used to be, and isn't now. So what's your point?
