Devil finds work for idle hands to do
See, I was too busy completing a project all Saturday to know anything about 'the riots' of Dublin until 8 o'clock and friends rang with stories of rescuing their kids from a public transport-free Dublin city centre, but all that was soon over, and the offspring were able to go in there for a night of binge-drinking, gambling and whatever other vices their sweet little selves reckon is an appropriate Saturday night's entertainment. No, they aren't up for chucking bits of concrete about......to lazy, if nothing else. Saved from a life of crime by sheer indolence.
Now begins the big post-mortem inquiry....Who's brilliant idea was it to set that little riot up? With the tools conveniently to hand? Don't they know that Saturday is the day Holy to all shoppers? It could have passed off quite quietly on Sunday.
I don't even know what the stupid demo was about, but if that lot from the North want to complain about people hurting/ killing each other, I suggest they start with their own bunch up there. That should keep them busy for the next hundred years.
Next thing, they will be insisting that they have 'the right' to 'celebrate' the great victory of the Battle of the Boyne, here in Dublin. Well, why not? Freedom of speech and all that...
Recreating the wonderful July Days that cause so many Northerners to have to come and live here for the whole month, uprooting children, etc. We could have people burned out of their homes and bonfires in O'Connell street. I'm sure there is someone in this crazy government who would think that was very fair.
Thank God I am not a Christian; it's all too violent for me.
My only concern is that this doesn't provide the Government with a ready-made excuse to ban our little protest parade on 18th March. I am afraid that it might just prove too tempting for them to resist.
