You can't beat the carnival, festival atmosphere of the 12th.

Some industrious person could make a killing selling Pope piñatas. Fill them full of bitesize Terry's Chocolate Oranges.

Quite why NITB put public money into this annual bigotfest is beyond me.

If only the nationalist community would embrace this festival then it could rival Rio's Mardi Gras.
Think of the tourist potential.

Just seen a Reverend something of the OO on the Nordie news.
With spokesmen like him........... total thicko.
Rather nauseating to see the elected leaders of the 2 Unionist Parties joining various collection of Paramilitary reps lining up to do the Orange Order's bidding.

Are you in the least bit surprised? This time of year, they all morph into one. Orange Order, DUP, UUP, TUV, UDA, UVF - all the bloody same underneath it all.

Do these guys read a different dictionary than the rest of us? I think the meaning of the word democracy seems somewhat different to a "loyalist" than it does to the rest of us...

Democracy to them is the majority within their own community. Paisley used to say that Stormont wasn't democratic because the majority of the (narrow) majority didn't agree with it. That was until the DUP became the largest party in the Assembly of course.

Yes it doesn't really tally with the real world but sure what's new.

Now they want new legislation on parades to pretty much get them through quicker it seems. Great.

About time someone asked them how much money they're costing every year with their parades.

I'm completely sick and tired of this constant bulls*it coming from unionists about erosion of culture, trampling on civil rights etc etc etc. It's complete horse s*ite and it's about time the media and politicians outside of this turned the screw on them and called them out rather than let them trip it out time after time. They have churned it out so often now they have turned a lie into the truth, at least in the heads of their brain dead supporters. They are not willing to compromise at any level and the fact the parades commission made a few determinations they don't agree with out of the 1000's of parades that happen they are still stuck in their old mentality of not an ounce.

Burning election posters, tricolours, religious artefacts or anything remotely connected to Catholics or the Republic, sticking union flags up outside a church and painting it's gates red white and blue (the list goes on and on) is not and never will be culture. It's plain bigotry and sectarian hate. The OO will deny the bonfires are connected to them but yet the silence from them or indeed a unionist politician condemning any of this will be deafening. Yet they will trip out the old s*ite about this being tradition and culture and it's a big party and everyone is welcome even going as far to welcome Michael D to Rossnowlagh next year. Why the hell would he when the flag of his country will be burned on the majority of bonfires tomorrow night. A welcome with open arms if there ever was one...not.

It's sickening watching the leaders of the unionist parties sitting side by side today trying to justify holding the whole country to ransom on behalf of their OO puppet masters. I really do f**king despair at this place. Are the majority of unionists who voted for (and the few Catholic's Peter is attracting) in agreement with this?

Burning tyres is really bad for the British environment too.

The only culture being trampled on, the only hertitage being cast aside by the state is that which forms the background of 45% of the population. Time the Shinners and the Stoops pulled the plug.

On the burning tyres issue. If it is illegal and pointed out to the authorities, why isn't anything being done ? Should be sent down with a dozer and flatten any bonfire that has tyres on it.

Because they are too s*it scared to do anything about it as it'll spark off some major violence and we'll have to listen to even more of the bulls*it about their civil and human rights being trampled over and their culture and tradition being oppressed.
