I would say your sensitivities were what scratched the surface :o

Watched the videos on social media. The attacks on the PSNI and orchestrated rioting. The new lodge looks like an awful place. No hope. Good to see SF reps trying to calm things. Once upon a time they would have been co-ordinating things.
The whole bonfire is just a cover for anti social behaviour. Custodial sentences should follow.

Nationalists seem to be as one saying these lads are pricks and the bonefire is not wanted in these area. A couple in Belfast, Newry and Derry.  They want this ended.

Féile an Phobail has been a super transition in west Belfast from bonefires and rioting etc. to debates, discussion and the various art forms.  A templatefor other communities.

Compare this to loyalist areas and their support of the Avoniel bonefire.

So to lump it as 'they're as bad as each other' is waffle.

There ya go tommy, scratch the surface a little bit and they can't help themselves

call it for what it is, a load of inner city tramps drugging the bit out stabbing each other, the one in Newry was a few kids in one estate. Derry and Drumbeg is a seperate matter. I didnt see any nationalist politicians taking selfies at any of them.

Exactly. Bringing religion etc out of it the similarities between the areas wher there have been large issues with bonfires are pretty much kips with high unemployment and low hope for younger people so a lot end up attaching themselves to some cause or another and this is what happens. If it wasn't attached to some cause a lot would just be petty criminals I suspect.

Not sure what you're trying to say.
