Of course you can criticise the content - but how you can criticise 'www.prfb.co.uk' is beyond me.
If you wish to criticise the content of the site, then fine - but that has nothing to do with this site whatsoever. The poster's content only contained a web address. If you want to go off on a rant about the IRA - maybe you should start another thread in the 'UK and Ireland' section. This section is really only to provide links to other sites.

From their website:
| Quote: | The Parkhead R.F.B(previously Vol, Billy Reid R.F.B) were formed in the Parkhead area of Glasgow in 1978. The band have taken part in marches and demonstrations all over Ireland, Britain and in 2 St Patrick's Day parades in New York.
The Parkhead R.F.B draw their membership from the youth of Glasgow and Lanarkshire and enjoy support in these areas.
The band were named after Billy Reid, an I.R.A soldier from the New Lodge Rd area of Belfast, who was brutally murdered by the crown forces of occupation, while he was on active service for his country, on May 15th 1971. A fearless fighter, he gave his all without a thought for his own safety, and it's to his memory, and to the memory of all of Ireland's dead, who gave their lives fighting for Ireland's freedom, we dedicate this webpage.

What I meant was literally the content of the users post, i.e. the link to the site, not the site itself. _________________ "Every single person on this planet is unique. Just like everyone else..." - Random Guy in Edinburgh Pub

It think it's fair enough if Sassenach wants to criticise the content of Parkhead's site here. He'll be back and he can try and justify it.
I don't agree that this site (our-scotland) is now complicit in supporting terrorism or the killing of innocent children. Our-Scotland doesn't take any line, it is just a forum for individuals to express their opinions and to discuss. In the whole time the forum has been open, we have only removed posts once, that was spam by peter dow. I can only think of one other occasion where we have edited someone's post as they were making particularly offensive and racist comments.
I don't think this falls into the same category. |

Fair enough, point taken. |

who created iraq and helped put saddam in place? your understanding of irish history is also laughable.
it may have escaped your attention but the british army have actually committed mass murder in ireland on many occassions. the acts of the black and tans are too many to account for one by one and in more recent terms you have bloody sunday. many of the victims that day were aged around seventeen years of age, they were firing into a crowd of unarmed civillians, is this not terrorism?
several children have also been killed by the use of plastic bullets, is this terrorism? it has also been proven that british forces have colluded with loyalist paramilitaries to aid them in their murder of nationalists in ireland, is this not terrorism?
irish lawyer pat finucane was taken out by loyalists aided and abeted by british security forces because he was doing too good a job of defending nationalists, is this not terrorism? the same with rosemary nelson. _________________ "our revenge will be the laughter of our children" bobby sands MP

FACTS:
1 At least one poster (contributor) on this site spends his free time marching in memory of deceased IRA members.
I'm sure if somebody had started a thread that provided a link to the National Front's website and claimed to have been a member, you'd have treated their post with contempt.
The BNP are a political party, not a terrorist group - they've not murdered children like the IRA! |
Make that two members
the whole point of the irish struggle is about, uniting and intergrating, no matter where they people come from, it isn't about exclusion of certain colours, religion etc the BNP & NF are a RACIST/FASCIST organisation no matter how much they deny it. _________________ ''Only Our Rivers Run Free'' |

Hi Parkhead_rfb,
(I'm really running behind in my forum reading; please forgive the late posting.)
Your website looks great and I especially like the T-shirt. It's really amazing the amount of support and inspiration these young people give, and it provides them with a sense of value as well.
Have you heard of a new Welsh group called the Cambria Band? A Flintshire man gathered a few young men into a drum band, and they've played at several events, like your group has.
Thanks for your good work in forming the group and inspiring the youth with pride in their identity as they remember those who sacrificed. Maybe someday soon the Cambria Band will have some flautists or pipers to supplement their already great sound!

"As a proud and patriotic Scot I can think of no greater sight than to see the Union Flag unfurl in a light breeze."
