Gibson a Former branch man, says a lot about his views on law and 'order'

I don't really understand this urge to parade, whether loyalist or republican its not culture. In the case of loyalists or the PULC as they are now known it is coat trailing and nothing more. In the case of republicans it's monkey see monkey do. I can't wait to the boney on the 15th August...bucky galore and an oul statue of the Queen to burn, cud'n bate it !

Apples that's the problem, it is their culture it is their only form of culture, a few days of the year to run amok to show everyone who is still in charge.

The Ulster scots thing is an attempt to create a form of cultural identity for them so that being a loyalist/ Unionist actually means something, they are completely disenfranchised and abandoned/ neglected by their political leaders.

The Ulster Scots Cultural bits are actually Irish Gaelic in origin having been brought to the Highlands along with the language the Irish around the 4th or 5th centuries, the lowland Scots type dialect they have attached to it isn't culturally connected to the music, song and dance.

Hence my reference to its 'Creation' trying to create a culture from a hybrid of different things, a rubbish dialect and some Irish/Scottish dancing and passing it off as a culture is laughable. But yet it is being recognised and being compared to the Irish language - for shame.

isnt that the definition of insanity ?

repeatedly trying something crazy that didnt work the first (or subsequent) time(s)!!


they really want to force their way down this street where they have no business.
its a fantastic example of the bully boy mentality that fueled the (apartheir-esque) six county establishment from yesteryear that prevails yet today amongst the unionist/loyalist fraternity!

Time to call their bluff and tell them anymore nonsense and the lot is banned for next year. Taxpayers money going up in smoke as usual.

I'd love to read one of these 'applications'. You'd probably need asbestos gloves.

I think marchers and their followers should all be fitted with those GPS tracker yokes and a device capable of giving an electrical discharge.

Anyone who starts marching down a street prohibited by the Parades Commission would get a 10mA shock. For every step (x) they take down that street, they get another (10mA + xmA) shock.

This way it might be as much fun for Nationalist spectators as it obviously is for Unionist ones.

For GPS tracker yokes substitute butt plugs ... well, they are obsessed with the 'queen's highway'

Get an ever bigger shock next time, when they decide to take a leak outside St Matthew's.
