I had to go into Belfast City centre this morning on unavoidable business and have to say i have never seen so many scumbags in my life. Hoors standing beside the peelers drinking their carryouts on Royal Avenue, i thought that wasnt allowed.
Must have cost a fortune to police it and clean up after it, should they not have to contribute to the clean up costs ?
Had to laugh at the News Letter headline during the week "Covenant Parade is for Everyone".
Haven't heard too much from the Shinners?? They must have negotiated some march for Easter 2016!! ;)

they took part in it the day sure ;) ;) ;)
coat trailing sectarian scumbags. no use in having a parade if you cant annoy people along the route.
But it's their culture, so it is
Kids were off at different parties today so me and the wife decided to head into Belfast for some food, a good deal to, 2 courses for a tenner at the Northern Whig, to my amazement plenty of parking around there and I parked facing John Hewitt's. In the space of about 20 minutes the place was covered with police and I could hear a rumbling and 30 plus bands marched past the bar, thought I was on the Shankill, prams being pushed by Union Jack mothers carrying blue bags filled with WKD bottles, flags a waving all over the place.
Some culture alright, finished off with two band lads pissing in the corner of the street with the police in full view, and did nowt.
I see the delightful Nick Griffin made the journey.

That whole rule Britannia/ blood covenant shtick is very tired now, 100 years on.
Dole in England is 60 quid per week for a single person. Huge cuts on welfare are coming down the line. People are going to be evicted from council housing. Food banks are being set up to catch those who can't feed themselves on benefits.
The Royal Navy is down on ships. The economic future of the UK is very uncertain. The City needs to be reined in but there is no growth engine to replace it.
Norn Irn is a money drain . For all their loyalty the Unionists don't add much in value. The key element of this economic crisis is how it has shattered schemes and understandings of how things work. I wonder how secure NI's place in the union really is .
It will be very interesting to see how it all pans out.

Was the hurling aspect not an urban myth ? I know SF have used his name for the competition up on the hill, but thought i heard or read somewhere that his Hurling credentials where hugely exaggerated. Open to correction
Carson was born in 1854 which means he would have been at Trinity in the early 1870s. Would there have been a hurling club at Trinity in 1870?? I read somewhere that the game played at Trinity was more akin to hockey than hurling and would have borne little or no resemblance to "modern" hurling.

and another breach of a Parade Commission ruling.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19776951
It's hard to see who exactly the PPS could pin the breach on here, or what they could do about it.
It's about time the legislation was amended to deter the likes of this. Make the parade organisers hand over a deposit for every parade subject to a ruling and return the deposit only if there are no breaches.

Doesn't really matter a shite. As has been proved recently, the Parades Commission continues to makes absolutely unenforceable, toothless determinations, which are then freely walked all over by the Orange Order & their coat-trailing supporters, while the cops ignore what's going on & force them through the flashpoint. Nothing ever really changes, does it?

What other society in Europe would accept that bullshit that went on at the weekend and over the 12th? Granted there's been a hell of a lot worse, that doesn't make it ok.
The reprobates that make up the loyal orders need dragged into the 21st century and the more publicity that is given to their anti-social behaviour the better. The PC are spineless and the PSNI sit back and watch year after year and tend to do fcuk all. Then we have so-called leaders in Peter Robinson, who says nothing at all and in fact encourages marchers to defy PC rulings (in his own constituency no less)
Fair play Irish News no one should have to put up with marching shite in the first place but if they do they should at least be afforded some basic respect. If my parish church was pissed on like that in broad daylight while police watched on I'd be pretty fucked off.
I've a 5 year plan which would more or less remove the blight of marching.
Year 1: ignore all marching activity
Year 2: Ignore all marching activity
Year 3: Ignore all marching activity
Year 4: Poke gentle fun at marching when they're not marching, otherwise ignore
Year 5: Ignore all marching and avoid talking about it all.
When we get to year 6, they'll all have gone away apart from a handful each year at Scarva.
This WILL work.

I think this is the the very best way forward. All the contentious areas should come to arrangements that some funding is offered for family friendly activities to take communities away for the afternoon. Those that cant make it ....just close the blinds and ignore them.

We did it that way on our road for years. Shut the blinds and pay no heed to them. Nowadays they don't bother their heads marching. Probably sitting in the house watching the Formula 1, washing the motor, riding, or on a good day all three.
Scum the lot of them.
I reckon all these "grants" for bonfires, bands and parades need to be scrapped first off and each parade should have to pay for the policing and cleanup operations incurred.
That would soon put a bit of manners in the shower of inbreds. See how "British" or traditional they are when they have to pay their own way.

Would absolutely agree with that proposal - like football clubs in England. The OO would surely never accept it though.

Why do Marchers wear white gloves?

Q1 White gloves are worn to protect their hands from their own piss whilst urinating against catholic churches/homes. If any yellow stains show up on the gloves they know that they are not hydrated enough and must get more liquid on board for other stops/targets on the route.
Q2 Military uniforms are only worn as there is a genuine shortage of penis costumes. Many have already been bought by halloween enthusiasts in Derry.
Q3 On the 11th they work themselves up into a taig hating frenzy by watching "The Devils Own" and "Michael Collins" Some bandsmen may practice "Trumboning" or Dutch trumpets on this night with each other. Others will play small sided games, like tossing their bowler hats on to other members erections. On the 13th they take a few blood pressure tablets before attending A&E for chest pain.
Q4 They meet up very sunday in a Field a ear shot away for Gaelic football match
This is all allegedly BTW and is meant as tongue in cheek so I will insert a wee ;D just to keep any would be offence takers at bay

Serious Questions.
Why do Marchers wear white gloves?
Why do Bands wear Military Uniforms?
What does the average orangeman do 13th July - 11th july?
How often do the meet up? Is it like a prayer group or what?
I genuinely have no idea.
Q1 White gloves are worn to protect their hands from their own piss whilst urinating against catholic churches/homes. If any yellow stains show up on the gloves they know that they are not hydrated enough and must get more liquid on board for other stops/targets on the route.
Q2 Military uniforms are only worn as there is a genuine shortage of penis costumes. Many have already been bought by halloween enthusiasts in Derry.
Q3 On the 11th they work themselves up into a taig hating frenzy by watching "The Devils Own" and "Michael Collins" Some bandsmen may practice "Trumboning" or Dutch trumpets on this night with each other. Others will play small sided games, like tossing their bowler hats on to other members erections. On the 13th they take a few blood pressure tablets before attending A&E for chest pain.

That made me laugh out loud.
There was a few spelling mistakes there due to alot of minimising, as a grand master of one the lodges in Donegal sits beside me in work. Im not kidding!! Has to be said he is a sound fella and doesnt seem to have a bitter bone in his body. Which confuses me, as the OO is sectarian by its very makeup. Was able to help me out getting a ticket for the AI from a pal of his in the ulter scots society!! You couldnt make it up. I turned the soup down on principal :)
Is the right trail your coat through catholic areas more important than education?
Unionists seem more vociforous about their right to march along their Queen's highway, as opposed to encouraging their offspring to go to school.

Not sure how you can blame any politician for a child not bothering their hole going to school, that responsibility has to be with the parent(s), and that's where the problem is, too many on both sides of the house don't give a shit. This is just being used as leverage by Unionist politicians to get money pumped into the areas. Face painting classes, nonsense like that.

• Sir, – I would not have expected anything different from John Bruton, a fully paid-up member of the EU sycophancy brigade, to come up with any other opinion than the one he espouses in his recent article in The Irish Times ("UK exit from EU would take big toll on Border area", Opinion Analysis, December 21st). He essentially suggests that the Irish diplomatic service should lobby the British government against a referendum on their relationship with the EU. A referendum, he argues, would be detrimental to the economic and cultural interests of the Border region in Ireland. This is an absurd argument on two fronts.
Firstly the British government controls the entire United Kingdom and to suggest that that government is going to base its decisions on what's best for the entire country on the interests of the 2.5 per cent of the UK population that live in Northern Ireland is plainly ludicrous. Secondly the British government is not going to pay the slightest attention to the Irish diplomatic service when it says, "Don't leave the EU as it doesn't suit us Irish!" They will say that they will take the Irish view into consideration, to be polite, but then completely ignore it. He also argues that the northern nationalists would feel more cut off from the Republic if the UK left the EU. Would that be more cut off then using a different currency, a different judicial process, a different school system, a different police force, a different system of local government, etc? Northern Ireland already consumes more than twice it earns and the gap is filled by the good people of London, Manchester, etc. The idea that northern nationalists are only champing at the bit to join the broke Republic and throw all that money away is simply wrong.
– Yours, etc,
JOE O'SULLIVAN,

Co Meath.
The day northern nationalists let a Meath arsehole speak for them is the day I accept that MBE the Queen keeps trying to foist on me
Joe has a point. A lot of northern nationalists will want to see the sums before they vote for a united Ireland in any future border poll. Bottom line is, if it's going to mean higher taxes, fewer jobs, etc, then we'll stick with what we have for a bit longer.
this is a strange tangent for this thread. firstly Mr bruton is a former leader of fine gael and leader of the 26 counties. his view typifies the thinking of this party and that of a great number of mexicans. infact he is typical of the standard of leader people south of the border have 'enjoyed' since partition. IE a plethora of self serving arseholes who could all be charged with treason for various reasons.
should britain leave the eu. firstly the value of stirling would rise making the south of ireland an attractive place to shop. fuel smuggling would sky rocket, etc etc.. all money for the southern economy. however since the rules regarding free trade would no longer apply customs would have to be redeployed on both side of the border the expense could cancel the advantage. i'd reckon that britain decide to quit the eu there would have to be special arrangements for trade put in place bi-laterally between roi and gb to avoid such a scenario. i dont think gb will leave the eu cameron doesnt have the balls or the support
