Today in 2001 in Belfast, Protestant loyalists begin a picket of Holy Cross, a Catholic primary school for girls.

@thepainterflynn That was no picket, it was a clear act of terrorism against children

@thepainterflynn To me this was one of the most sickening things that happened here over the last 40 odd years . Just the lowest of the low

@thepainterflynn I was 17 when this happened and I am from the 26. I promise then to myself I will make sure I vote for unity when the time comes as to ensure this hatred will never be seen on our island ever again

@thepainterflynn How that was allowed to happen is beyond me. People that stop children accessing education need to take a long hard look at themselves

@thepainterflynn Shocking and sickening, this story travelled all over the world. 9/11 happened shortly after which everyone was then focusing on but completely disturbing. Grown men threatening kids, loyalist shame!

@thepainterflynn @gazzahead Funnily enough, I've never read any material from the Barbara J. Pym consortium condemning the behaviour of the local Loyalists during this disgraceful episode. Whereas they were all over Bobby Storey's funeral.
