It was a very sad story this one. I remember it well as me and My wife stayed at this hotel for our honeymoon 2 years earlier.

Politics are necessary in the absence of dictatorship, but religion is not.Religion and politics have much to answer for.Both topics attract and breed the worst type of ****.
A friend of mine did a few “tours” of Northern Ireland, he also served in the Falklands conflict, he said at the time he doesn’t know how he got through his tours of NI, the hate from the locals was off the scale.
This is what Sectarianism politics didto both sides, a ridiculous division brought on by supposed Religious Ideology. I’d hope this would be eradicated in future but it’s a akin to racism and it will never go away.
I used to have 2 Scottish friends, one from either side of the religious divide, Rangers and Celtic, both from Glasgow, they were great mates until Religion came up, it was unbelievable how they reacted, the Catholic friend wouldn’t even go in a pub in Ashton called the Prince of Orange.
The Protestant was called Billy McCassick (spelling), proper Character, followed City and think someone on here knew him, passed about 4 years ago.
Anyway, their bigotry was superseded by friendship, let’s hope it’s the future and RIP to Michaela, a terrible thing to happen and rightfully still remembered many years later.

See my earlier post re calling out the video. I didn't mention I praised the Irish Guards on their excellent display at Trooping of the Colour at weekend and got abuse from the other section of the communityA friend of mine did a few “tours” of Northern Ireland, he also served in the Falklands conflict, he said at the time he doesn’t know how he got through his tours of NI, the hate from the locals was off the scale.
