This issue has surely been addressed.

There is other more important news.

I agree Davros. He was "bucket-mouthing" on the "UDA blamed for intimidation" thread, coming out with a childish attack on the S.D.L.P.'s Danny O'Connor and his weight, and mindless sectarian slurs against the "Papish" Church as he referred to it. He is most probably a republican, hell-bent on endeavouring to portray Loyalists as sectarian, non-educated delinquents, as he is scared of the truth - that the emergence of the eloquent, well-read and politically motivated, U.P.R.G, gives a voice and platform for loyalism. One of the things that they will make clear is that race-hate attacks are happening on republican's doorstep too, not just exclusively in loyalist communities!
