Absolutely shocking that a sectarian march be allowed anywhere near a community that does not want it. Like forcing through a KKK march through Harlem New York. Utter disgrace

Faced with the prospect of 35 Republicans parading through Markethill, Emma would be positively apoplectic with rage. After all, a bus stop called ‘Short Strand’ was enough to set her off.
We’re in this crisis because unionist leaders are choosing antagonism over reconciliation.
I have just watched Michelle O’Neill and Mary Lou McDonald from Sinn Fein outside the High Court in Belfast this evening.
This is a time for calm heads, not political rants.
This is a time to show leadership, not to wind up the community.
I have been appalled to see those who have decided to ramp up tensions, and dial up the rhetoric throughout today including senior Sinn Fein representatives on the decision by the Parades Commission to grant a very modest walk on the Garvaghy Road at 8am on Sunday morning.
Michelle O’Neill should be dialling down the temperature, not giving stump speeches. Regardless if someone agrees with the decision or not, all should be calming things down.
The behaviour of Sinn Fein at the very prospect of 35 men walking down a road at 8am on a Sunday morning, a parade that would take just moments to pass any point, says all you need to know about a “shared Ireland”.
The Portadown Orangemen have made clear there is absolutely no threat nor violence. There is nothing to fear from them and absolutely nothing to be apprehensive about.
Sinn Fein need to dial the anti-Unionist, anti-British sentiment and show leadership and encourage calm.

Sinn Fein need to end their participation in all institutions of the northern apartheid colony. 30 years since the GFA and still nothing for nationalists. Go back to peaceful non recognition by all means possible. Strangle it until it has no life left.

RT @StephenBrowne4: 35 people at 8am, no bands, no supporters. Marching just to show they can, naked rotten triumphalism

Not a single foreign Orange parade in Derry ever again. Time to circle the wagons.

As the Co-Chair of the Friends of Ireland Caucus for the U.S. House Representatives, I urge the British Secretary of State Bryant to weigh in on this consequential moment on the island of Ireland.
28 years after the historic Good Friday Agreement, allowing this contentious parade to proceed would represent a marked step backward. It is within the Secretary of State’s remit to use his office to preserve the peace and stability that has been painstakingly built for the past three decades, and to prevent a return to the divisions of the past.
Failing to do so would be a disservice to the next generation, who seek peace, prosperity, and a shared future.

The Orange Order has deliberately pried opened Pandora’s Box just as they’ve been doing since 1795. The nightmare and fears of the embattled Garvaghy Road residents are once again being tested as they’re bullied by feudal bigots.
A concerted effort is being made to drag us back to a heart of darkness we left behind. People should refuse to be pulled through the gates of this Dante’s Inferno. The descent has begun.

Drumcree 1997.
Locals are hemmed into their homes by British military armoured personnel carriers in order to force a triumphalist Orange Order march down Garvaghy Road
Ironically this meant that Catholics were barred from attending their local Church for mass

Worth saying explicitly.
In law you're meant to give 28 days notice for a parade.
Portadown District notified the Parades Commission on 3 Sep for a parade on the 27th.
That's 24 days notice.
The Commission's determination didn't mention this at all.

A message to Sinn Fein.
Tear down all the institutions of the northern Protestant sectarian state now or you’ll no longer have my support.
