Most people are tired of paramilitaries. And the militaries. Us versus them everywhere. In Portadown. In Belfast. The murals are everywhere. How about a new story now.

    don't mean to be disrespectful at all. I do know there has been a lot of suffering in many ways on both sides. A LOT! I also know that the voice of the unionists has been drowned out in recent years and England is anything but a friend for either side. They exploited the situation for their financial and political gain. But extremist positions do not help.
