The Royal Irish Regiment's homecoming parade in Shrewsbury after returning from
Afghanistan.

Sinn Féin has repeated its demand for an armed forces' homecoming parade being
held in Belfast to be called off.

Assembly member Jennifer McCann said the parade, planned for this Sunday, was an
insult to the nationalist community of Belfast.

"It's not about not welcoming these people home, but they don't have to do it in
a coat-trailing exercise," Ms McCann said.

"They should call the parade off, that way there will not be any trouble."

On Monday, First Minister Peter Robinson said the Parades Commission's decision
to allow the Sinn Féin parade was a "recipe for disaster".

Last week, the commission said it wanted to accommodate the homecoming parade
and "a legitimate protest in a way which ensures that peace is maintained".

SF are out of order and wrong here!  

The soldiers that fight the good fight against the agents of evil that is the
"War on Terror" are not fighting for Nationalists or Unionists... But for
people!  Humans!  The man in the street regardless of his or her politics or
religious beliefs...

SF ought to grow up and face the reality of the threats to the whole Western way
of life in the 21st Centuary and should be damn glad that these soldiers were
out there fighting so that the damn terrorists are not "over here" killing even
more innocent civilians like in London...

SF are completely out of order!  

What say you?
