Don't know how much publicity this got yere side of the pond, but it's all over the news here. There is a crowd called Eire Saoradh ( pron Sarah) which is the political wing of this "New IRA". They had a march in Dublin the day after this murder. On their Twitter page, they thanks the 1000's for turning up. I counted 33 including all the marchers ( these paramilitary marches will be banned under new ligislation). The marchers got dog's abuse from the local passer bys ( so much so that the police, that were originally there to stop any violence from the marchers, had to step in to prevent the kents getting the shit kicked out of them ) Anyway, what has struck me is the level of backlash ( from mainly republican/nationalists it has to be said) to these shower of kents. About 30 women went to their offices in Belfast ,and despite the presence of 3 large men standing in front of them with arms folded, proceeded to put bloody ( red paint) handprints all over their doors and windows. This wouldn't have happened 20 years ago. Shows, despite all the hatred between the 2 sides, that sometimes it can be overcome.

Yeah, saw the photo of "Free Derry Corner" with the #Notinourname painted below it. Good to see!
