Flags & Culture.....

[Orior]

I went for a cycle yesterday through Ballyclare, Doagh and Parkgate. Nice part of the country but spolied by the red white and blue regalia (not to mention the UDA and UVF flags)

Good to see that the PSNI read GAA Board. I was doing the same ride again this morning, and rode past a burnt out car and the roads covered in rubble and bricks. The strange thing is that this was in a seemingly well to do area.

Needless to say, I stopped and asked a photographer if the locals had rioted because Limerick hurlers beat Antrim yesterday. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) the photographer didnt get the joke.

The peelers have now apologised.

For doing their job for once? Nice.

It was disgusting watching that horrible cnut McCrea on the news last night saying that the cops were very sorry, yet another marching season and yet another year of orangemen trying to assert their authority over their catholic 'neighbours'

There's a few nice UVF flags hanging off lamposts on the Shore Road and one flying from a house down near Asda too. 

I thought these were being taken down by the PSNI?

Rois don't venture anyway near New Mossley, about a dozen different flags from terrorist to butchers apron to israeli to skull and crossbones on the one roundabout (total about 40-45 flags)!

Is Greenacres driving range better than Ballyearl? Greenacres was on my cycle route too.

I concur.
At least Sammy had the decency to condemn the violence.
