And the Raven Shall Not Fly

After weeks long exchanges the loyalist group known as The Pride of the Raven has withdrawn their application to march on the Donegall Pass Saturday. Objections had been raised about the march route through a predominately Chinese community in south Belfast. The march is largely viewed as a means to intimidate the minority residents inhabiting the loyalist area in south Belfast. The group states that the march has no racist intentions and the group looks forward to the days when “… parades are not subject to the prejudice of such a discredited, ineffective and malicious body.”
