<i>how often do these marches happen?</i>

There are many marches. Different Orange order groups, and loyalist groups. Generally during Summer.

<i>how far do they go?</i>

In some cases, throughout entire towns.

<i>is N Ireland not meant to be a free country?</i>

Not sure what you meant by that? Free as in, they should be allowed to march? Sure, i guess it's their right, but it just goes to show their opinion towards the Irish. They think of them as subhuman, and it's been that way since the Battle of the Boyne.

<i>why would the british have any involvement with them -- how would they benefit?</i>

I don't know how they'd benefit. But they always seem to be involved.

<i>are you anti-loyalist? If you are -- aren't you adding to the fucked-up situation?</i>

Quite simply, yes. I don't believe the british should be in northern ireland as the governing power. Ireland is quite capable of handling itself. And no, i'm not adding to the situation. I don't dislike loyalist people. Individually, i'm sure they're quite nice people. But they shouldn't be ruling northern ireland.

<i>what's your solution to the whole issue?</i>

Give Northern Ireland back. Not as simple as it sounds, but there it is in a nutshell.
