Over 100 gathered alongside a heavy press presence at Belfast’s International Wall on the Falls Road as the British coronation was underway to send a clear message to the media and state political parties that we do not accept poverty, occupation and monarchy.
Against a backdrop of rising poverty rates and growing calls for justice for victims of state collusion members of certain political parties saw fit instead to attend the coronation of the Commander-in-Chief of Britain’s occupying forces.
Significant gatherings also took place at Lifford, on the British imposed border in Ireland, as well as Dublin, at the G.P.O.
