Letter: IRA plan to trump the Orange card
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: Perhaps Dr Mo Mowlam, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, could seek advice from Nelson Mandela, who faced a similar problem to that posed by Drumcree.
In his case, it was the Zulus who insisted on asserting their ancient tribalism by parading through the streets wearing fur hats and carrying clubs and spears, regardless of the risk of violence and death.
In Drumcree, although it's bowler hats, brollies and cloth horse-collars, the attitudes and risks are the same.
