Most of Northern Ireland is on edge, concerned and worried about the current situation in Portadown, and all this clown of a man is worried about is ensuring the Sinn Féin is brought before a court because they allegedly broke the law by staning in support of the community on Garvaghy Road.

THe NI Parades Commission has made a catastrophic error in judgement in allowing the Orange Order to parade down the Garvaghy Road. Having had the High Court quash their previous determination regarding the parade, they have now reversed almost 30 years of consistency and created a major crisis.
