A lone Anti-War protester staged a protest outside Hillsborough Castle this afternoon as Prime Minister’s “Blair and Ahearn” arrived for peace talks.

The Anti-War protester took up position outside the main entrance of the Castle opposite a protesting group of thirty plus Republicans calling for political status for Republican prisoners, and displayed an Anti-War Poster.

A mob of thirty Sinn Fein supporters arrived lead by Martin Meehan “to protest that their dead supporters had lost their right to vote, and calling for polling stations to be opened in Belfast’s Milltown and the City Cemetery”, and tried fascist like to move the lone protester from his prominent position, they failed.

A Reporter for TV3 was accidentally knocked over by a car at the entrance to the Castle, he was taken to hospital suffering from embarrassment more than injuries.

The Anti-War protester was disappointed when “Blair and Ahearn” ran scared and used the back entrance and avoided his protest.

Is anybody willing to stage a picket outside British Army Headquarters in Lisburn, or Place Barracks Hollywood county Down on Sunday 16th February @ 1pm?

That there was only one protestor against Bush's poodle and the Gombeen/comprador leader, Ahern, shows the dismal level of politcal awareness and analysis in the Irish 'peace movement'.

You mean there was only one lone
piece of commie dirt supporter of
the Butcher Saddam, who has gouged
out the eyes of children with his
own fingers?

Rgere was only one liar. presenting
the half-wit rationalisation that
"all the US wants is Oil!"?

If all the US wanted was oil, and we had no concience, why didn't we take it in 91?
Why haven't we just taken over Saudi
Arabia, and blocaded the entire
Persian Gulf and demanded tribute
from every tanker?

The whole anti war movement is based
on lies, ignorance and cowardice.
That and priests who have given
their souls to Lucifer.

A large contigent of Irish Socialist Republican supporters protesting against the inhumane, degrading and dangerous living conditions republican prisoners at HMP Maghaberry must endure, slobbered at smarmy smug brit snob arselika Tony blahrr. I myself will be attending the Feb15th march against the war in Iraq under the Catholic workers banner. I'd like to see you call us commie filth then, you nun/priest/peasant torturing/murdering NAZI JUNTA butcher FUK.

It's your Hitler protogem Saddam who has been tortuting and murdering men women & Children.

It is the "Anti War" suckers who are
the liars and the dupes of the
communist propaganda. It is the priests who tell the lies about "Blood for Oil", who have welcomed Lucifers servants and pedophiles into the
sanctum sanctorum of the church, hidden their evil, and sheltered Satan in the house of God. It is the "men of God", and those who call themselves "moral", who have used the pulpit
and taken to the streets, to defend a demon ftom the retribution of the just, whose souls are excommunicate for the light and salvation of God forever.

The legions of the stupid and the DAMNED.
