offsite link Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

category armagh | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Tuesday July 08, 2003 00:41author by contetnshuz. - helping protesters and protestants the world over Report this post to the editors

the solution........................................

in which the ipsiphi does his thing on Drumcree much better than the SP.

and a short explanation for foreigners and ulsterscots people who only see northern ireland on telly every summer.
42405_2.jpg

first off locate northern ireland.
read article with same name on the newswire:
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60096
this explains the subtleties of "case".
Orange men believe in "Northern Ireland", we here in indymedia ireland land believe in "northern ireland".


now knowing that northern ireland and Northern Ireland are different you may appreciate that Drumcree in Armagh may be _case sensitive_ as well.

where is Drumcree?
answer:
http://www.proni.gov.uk/geogindx/parishes/par112.htm

Q. What do the Orange Men want?
A. ask them:
http://www.orangenet.org/civilrights/
they want civil rights, and liberty of religious expression and stuff, just like everyone else.
They also want to march down the road to the Drumcree Church every year, because some protestant (not protesters) were thrown off it hundreds of years ago by Catholics.
some two hundred years later, the Orange Order began at the locality.
Q. Is Tony Blair a catholic?
A. yes. He is a crypto-catholic.
Q. is the Pope catholic?
A. yes. very very Xian bruddah.
(he is reffered to as the "Xian muddah" by young hipster type orange folk)
c/f: http://www.orangenet.org/juniors.htm

Q. are all Orange men "men"?
A. oh no. There are women too, who make cups of tea, and just like Orange Lil in Seán O'Casey's play shout like fisherwives at the Catholics and British soldiers.
Q. WAs Seán O'Casey a protestant?
A. Yes.
Q. Was he bolshevik as well?
A. very very, but that is as much SP as this thread will go.
Q. was he poor?
A. yes. everyone in Ireland was poor.
Q. including the protestants?
A. almost generally yes.

Q. are British soldiers Catholic?
A. some are and some aren't.
Q. How long have the Orange wimmin been making tea?
A. ask them:
http://www.orangenet.org/women.htm
they started in "Rutland Sq" Dublin in 1912.
Q. where?
A. quite right, you must be a "northern ireland" reader, Rutland Square is "Parnell SQ".
Q. Was Parnell a protestant?
A. yes.

Q. are there any famous important orangemen?
A. some.
the important one's include Daivd Trimble.

Q. who?
A. the First Minister of the Northern Ireland state, is David Trimble.

Q. how did he get the job?
A. He impressed his fellow orangemen and orangewimmin and orangechilder/bairns/wee ones
by behaving like a gouger/gurrier in front of the Drumcree church at a _vital_ stage in the "Peace Process".

Q. how badly did he behave?
A. he hit a RUC man with his umbrella.
Q. are you discouraging that?
A. no. I will not condemn anyone who hits a RUC/PSNI man with an umbrella.
Q. does David Trimble like blackmen?
A. ask the meta-search engines.

[the reader may like to do this themselves]
so past this line and place it in the following search engines.
"Does David Trimble like black men?"

paste and put in
http://ungoogle.com
http://google.com
http://ask.com

¿do you get the picture?
¡cool eh!
I particularly like the "google" response.
it refers you to the "yahoo dating section".
[for the benefit of those readers who don't have the fastest ISDN internet connections].

Q. are Orange men tolerant?
A. did David Trimble allow a mosque to built in his constituency?
Q. please answer the question.
A. David Trimble did _not_ allow a mosque to be built in his constituiency.
...
Q. so freedom of religious belief.
any more links/suggestions?
A. yes I've lots of cool photos of orange men which are just a wee bit to big to get online at the moment but come the glorious 12th I'll have compressed them, and am presently working on the definitive explanation of Orangism or "naranjismo" in Spanish [both castillian and catalan] which shall be published on BCN.IMC later this marching season.

Q. any good songs?
A. tis old and it is beautiful and the colours they are fine, was worn at Derry Aughrim Eniskillen and the Boyne, which is why the twelth I love to wear the sash my father wore".

Q. where? I thought Aughrim and the Boyne are in "southern/eastern" ireland.
A. you are a smartarse and a real asshole, why don't you just fight Starbucks instead, and keep ireland safe for Bewleys!?!?

Q. any suggestions, mister "help protestant/protesters"?
A. yes.
disband.
or failing that, go on holidays in Britain and ask the people there "do you think I am british?".
or
get a hot air balloon.
an orange hot air balloon and a sound system [4K @least] and float over the British Army barricade playing the sash, you may find your loyal pals will sell the youngones/bairns/weewans the drugs.

[small parties all over continental Europe have found that a hot air balloon really does boost the profile.- I remember the last march in my local Barcelona, the ICV (Greens) and the ERC (Republicans) had a "can we get our balloon higher competetion" whilst we at the back (RTS @ heads) drowned out their effing shite "Imagine" by John Lennon.
=learn from the continentals.

[this shall be a series].

finally in place of the picture of american indians wearing sashes or orange women doing the can can which i shall compress, I thought to leave you a pciture from earlier this year, taken in northern ireland by JD i presume.
