Parades in Belfast

People will claim that the welcome home parade for Northern Ireland based troops was some sign that normality is returning to the province.

I will just quote a remark from elsewhere that coincides with my thoughts on the matter

I don't know who's worse; the taigs who are opposing the R Irish as they are British Army oppressors (even tho 1st Battalion are traditionally war dodgers with Sinn Fein being well known pacifists; or the prods who couldn't give a flying f*ck about us when we were away doing our jobs, but are only out in force to wind up the taigs.
