More happy news from the land of the leprechauns, dancing pixies and rioters.
The loyalist wimmen are now protesting outside they policing board about the evil of the police and how they handled the rioting. Maybe not enough of them got hurt or something...

Teh roadblocks are still going on and last night they managed another great coup for the Loyalist cause by braining a school girl when they stoned a bus stuck in the traffic

On the other side, just to be fair, the 'ra are after the McCartneys again, possibly hoping that in all the rioting they'd slip under the radar. They attacked friend of family and are now trying to intimidate him out of pressing charges and they've been picketing the home of Robert McCartney's partner to try and force her out again.

Oh and I found the link to the story abuot reports that say catholic areas are still getting less in the way of development, employement, educations and so on. Alas the formatting is so crappy pictures cover most of the text. http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=DailyIreland/Content/News&id=9894&opp=1
And it from a nationalist paper, so there may be some bias.


Remind me again why I live here?

15/09/2005 16:17 DISRUPTION DUE TO PROTESTS
(Information supplied by Roads Service)
The following routes have been affected by protests: - Westlink, closed at Broadway; Kingsway at Dunmurry; Upper Malone Rd at Dub Lane and West Circular Rd.

Oh the smugness of having left work at 3.30 and got home JUST in time. By the time I got to the crossroads in Dunmurry, the cops were already out diverting traffic.
Not going to the stables tonight, Zigs has worked hard this week so she can have a night off. Haven't decided yet about going to Pilates, I shall keep an ear on the radio and see how it goes, it isn't til 8.30 anyway.
