  3. Michaelhenry,

    I hope not as he is so horrible. But sure even if it is I have to take the stick that goes with it. The artist has a lot to answer for!

  10. Marty, do you think other forces could be at work?
    You have sort of earmarked yourself with the powers that be.

    Just wish there had of been some divine intervention in Derry yesterday when Gilmore was back surveying the 'Maiden City'

    His handlers have refused to honour their contract to pay his pension, so he returned to the 'City of Culture' to survey all the progress he believes he helped achieve!

    Honestly wish some divine force could have tossed him over the wall.

    I have to say, I always had a bit of a sneaking admiration for those involved in the 'Siege of Derry'
    Not too concerned about George Walker though, I'm sure Gerry will name something after him!

  11. Marty,

    "Or brothers we could remove it altogether,and leave a plaque,stating herein lies the history of the orange order.."

    Just on a point of accuracy,
    Governor Walker is primarily commemorated by the Apprentice Boys Of Derry. Although he was later killed at the Battle Of The Boyne he is not officially commemorated by the Orange Order. Brian appears to have depicted his character wearing a Royal Black Perceptory collarette, distinct differences but minor detail all the same.
    As I recall, in an earler discussion I touched on the destruction of Walkers Pillar. You described it as the actions of a liberated people. The latest vandalism was captured on cctv, and they were clearly inebriated people with their 'liberation' being from sobriety as opposed to the yoke of British rule.
    Perhaps when your schadenfreude has receded you might consider placing your earlier sentiment upon a plaque,".. it can be no capitulation of civil liberties,when you allow your neighbours theirs."

  12. Robert my fellow Irish man and a cara my delight will be fully furnished when the last vestige of british dominance is gone to where all those imperialist bastards go, statues commerating those who oppressed the indigenous people of this island mean nothing to me and I couldnt care less about their destruction save someone else the job later,as for Walker his missus should have left him buried at the Boyne and let good Irish cows crap on him.

  13. Marty,

    A very ugly outburst - it is exactly that sort of kenitic rage that may propel us back to the past.
    "The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history."

  15. Robert,

    'it can be no capitulation of civil liberties, when you allow your neighbours theirs.'

    Did the Orange Order support internment?
