This aerial shot tells you all you need to know about the support the Garvaghy Road has. The residents and their supporters, which include Catholics, Republicans, real Nationalists (not far-right plastic 'patriots') and others all stood shoulder to shoulder today against orange order loyalists.

I am living to see the people of NI prove this assessment wrong. The Drumcree election is coming, but people who are actively whipping up tensions might well find themselves playing to a diminishing base. V few people believed this march would ever be back on the agenda: www.ft.com/content/9297...

“We will be compassionate to a strictly limited number of people, and will save as many lives as the Daily Mail will let us”

I know the British people have not given up on their belief that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations, and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution. But I also know this process must be capped and controlled, and communities must be ready and able to welcome those who come here.

Combination of cuts to teaching grants, phasing out of maintenance grants and increases in student loan repayments mean that undergraduates in England will now pay 50% more for a university degree than students in 2012, and will carry 80% of the cost of their education.

The thing is they need our misery to keep their vote. Because happiness breeds hope, & the political reps of unionism as far as I can see, promise nothing hopefull, just a dream of a return to a much mourned dominance. 11 people were murdered to get marching this route. 3 children burned to death.
