If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

There are many things in this world I do not know nearly well enough to offer what would be a presumptuous opinion. On #Ireland, the #OrangeOrder, and #GarvaghyRoad, I did come across this comment on Insta that I'd like to offer instead. Peace is fragile. This is how we hold on.
kev_buchanan writes on Instagram in response to a news item:

I understand tradition. I understand freedom. And I understand the principle of having the right to walk peacefully on a public road.

But surely rights also come with responsibility, judgement and an understanding of history.

For almost 30 years the Orange Order has not walked down Drumcree Garvaghy Road. That restriction didn't appear from nowhere. It followed years of confrontation, violence and division surrounding a period in which people lost their lives and, amid the horror of 1998, three young brothers, Richard, Mark and Jason Quinn, were murdered in a loyalist petrol-bomb attack.

Yet here we are in 2026, after an administrative failure opened the original decision to legal challenge, with men sitting through the night in court and now apparently prepared to wait however long it takes to exercise their "right" to walk down one particular road.

But why?

Tradition matters. Freedom matters. The rule of law matters. But so do remorse, empathy, responsibility and knowing when a tradition has become more damaging than meaningful.

Nobody needs to surrender their culture or identity. But after almost three decades, if exercising a right means insisting on walking through a community that overwhelmingly does not want you there, reopening wounds that Northern Ireland has spent years trying to heal, perhaps the bigger question isn't whether you can.

It's why you still feel you must.

At some point preserving tradition has to matter less than preserving peace. Otherwise we aren't honouring history - we're refusing to learn from it.

Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.
The Independent front page headline: 

Burnham edges Labour closer to rejoining EU
After Ed Miliband tells party conference Britain's future is at the heart of Europe, ministers say it is 'not if but how' prime minister will include Brexit reversal in next election manifestoThere is growing optimism that a way back into the EU could be put to voters at the next election after the prime minister and senior ministers made it clear they believe Brexit has been a failure at this year's party conference.
When The Independent asked Mr Burnham about whether Rejoin would be in Labour's next election manifesto on his recent trip to the UN in New York, he refused to rule it out - having said a year ago when he was
Manchester mayor that he believes the
UK should rejoin the EU.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.
