.................STATEMENT................

Today the Protestant Coalition have implemented charges against the Psni Chief Constable, Matt Baggott.

The charges placed against Mr Baggott are bringing the Psni into disrepute and treason. The Disciplinary and Services Department of the Psni have acknowledged receipt of said charges and by doing so are now obligated to investigate Mr Baggott.

We the Protestant Coalition feel that as the head of the Psni Mr Baggott is culpable in relation to the charges placed upon him by us and we will endeavour to keep the public informed as things move forward with the case.

Not sure if it was mentioned in another thread, but there was a vote in Belfast City Council last week about bonfires. Currently, the each bonfire organisers get a grant, of which 70% is paid up front and 30% afterwards if they behave themselves during the bonfire.

SF raised a motion to get the percentages reversed, but the motion was defeated. UUP and DUP voted against the motion on the grounds that they cannot control the nonsense that happens during and after the bonfire.

I thought SF, SDLP and Alliance had a majority in Belfast City Council?

The whole thing is a farce. It was in the paper last week that a "community group" received money last year to not build a bonfire, which they complied with. They are getting the same funding this year even though stockpiling has started for a real bonfire. Again, the excuse being that they have no control over the people doing it.

It happens every year around this time, do you get annoyed at seeing Tricolours flying?? I doubt it, their culture is flying flags, being royalist and Loyalist and Marching....

Its been happening for years and every year people get annoyed about it... Its been eroding slowly but surely every year as younger kids become less interested in following their dad's footsteps...

You can't get annoyed at it because a tricolour never flies above any courthouse in the 6 counties. Wullie would be annoyed if another primary school put up an Italian flag for the Euros though.

Have you ever seen the courthouse? It would be like a second Siege of Derry.
