@yorvik21 Oi - "miner's strike In England"? some of the bravest and most stubborn strikers were the South Wales miners. The scottish miners also put up a brave fight - yet it was the Durham miners who led to the collapse of the strike.

What about the victims of her? Will her grand children lay a wreath in honour of the Bloody Sunday victims and the hundreds of other innocent victims

Maybe someday bin Laden's grandchildren will find the grace to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial, as the queen paid tribute to the victims of her grandparents, and we may all find the grace to reconcile.

its a great reminder of wat times were like in 1914 when the english ruled us ! and the queen comin to ireland going to the garden of rememberance is like bin laden goin to the america to the wall they have for 9/11



Is it not a disgrace that labour ( pairti an lucht oibre) claim to be the continuation of the connolly/larkin idea of socialism in ireland. Look at Labour now giving 26 billion euro to a bunch of zombie banks....its a disgrace to socialism and republicanism. Eamonn (sell out for power) Gilmore bow your head in shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
