Less Hate More Love For Ulster
Fair play to Sinead McCavana at the Sunday Life for pointing out that despite thousands turning out in the bad weather, yesterday's Love Ulster rally passed off peacefully, something the BBC failed to mention in their report, and which UTV tucked away at the bottom.
Follow up:
I was concerned myself that there would be the potential for violence at a rally of loyalists but apparently it was all peaceful and well stewarded (one person who tried to raise a loyalist paramilitary flag was apparently told to take it down by a steward). It's worrying that someone like that would be present in the first place but really you'd expect as much - I just hope he gets the message.
It makes a refreshing change and I hope that the campaign continues in a manner more like this and with less of the sectarian mannerisms apparent on the Love Ulster forums.
Willie Frazer from victims' group FAIR said that the Love Ulster campaign would be rolled out throughout Northern Ireland (or as Provisional UTV seems to prefer "the six countes") and that a protest was planned for Dublin too.
