Can you imagine if residents of Normandy demanded to march through Hastings every year?

 

Or Russians went matching through Berlin?

 

Perhaps a B-29 flying over Hiroshima on VJ Day?

 

Why can't these thick people realise literally no other people do this kind of thing? This is over something that happened almost 400 years ago.

Yes there were some suspicious vans around the base late at night apparently and the locals raised the alarm .

In some places you probably wouldn’t think much of it

You'd imagine that when the leaders of this plot have their debrief, they might conclude that wearing balaclavas, blocking somebody's drive with their vans and scattering like startled deer when the homeowner returns were areas they might try to improve on next time.

This farmer trying to get her 15 minutes and a few newspaper payouts. Claims she raised the alarm at half 1 in the morning or whatever but apparently police had already been notified at 00:36 or something and also trying to say how bad it is that she had to be the one to raise the alarm when she clearly didn't. Wants a bit of false saviour attention. I am going to bet she is on the front page of The Sun tomorrow. Doing the media rounds a bit already today.

Suspect it’s the sun that’s winding her up in the first place !

All of those are between winners and losers of conflict. No one won or lost in Northern Ireland and it's still divided across political and sometimes religious lines. A better example would be the israeli's organising a march across the parts of Gaza that still stand. 

Will never change the Northern Irish folks. They are a different breed of folks and will do what they think is right. Me and my father in law who was raised in West Belfast throughout the start of The Troubles and has been on the orange march have had some run ins like that. The family is also tight as anything and you tow the line or left behind. Part of the unionist front is falling away with age and the youth are more loyalist. That may also be led by it being more fun to resist by standing in the street and protest than sticking an organge banner on and marching. Both sides in Belfast from time to time still enjoy a session of hurling bricks at PSNI or eachother. 


Sorry, to answer your question, they aren't thick, they are proud Northern Irishmen who want to do something they feel they have the right to vs proud Northern Irishmen who don't want something to happen as they feel they have the right to stop it.

According to the BBC, the woman wishes to remain anonymous. If that's the case, it's an odd way to try to get 15 minutes of fame.

And I am sure the tabloids won't be able to track them down in moments to throw money at her for a scoop. They would never do something so underhand....

Also she said she spotted them as they were near her house (maybe on her land? I may be wrong there). The Sun will have knocked every door in that village this morning or been outside that leisure centre trying to find her.
