Unionists always did love an oul' majority ... Until they are no longer the majority ... when is the penny going to drop for them?

[armaghniac]

when is the penny going to drop for them?

When it becomes €0.013

[red hander]

Believe they're now attacking homes of Alliance councillors in Bangor... The DUP can't be allowed to wiggle off the hook on this one, they, to all intents and purposes, called these scum onto the streets

Oh you should have heard Sammy Wilson on Radio Ulster this morning.  He said last night and repeated this morning that the Alliance Party had opened this "pandora's box" and when challenged on that he said that he was just stating fact.  Er, Pandora's Box is notoriously hard to physically and factually open...

Anyway, he blamed the violence firstly on SF/SDLP pursuing bigotted strategies like naming a park after a killer in Newry & Mourne, and said that Alliance "aided and abetted" them in their plotting.  And he also denied that sending out 40k leaflets telling people to use their voice did not mean the DUP had called for people to take to the streets.  Hmmm....

I had a bit of respect for Sammy as finance minister, but when it's back to this aul sh1t, for me he has lost what he had built up.

In the interests of good community relations and neighbourliness I reckon we should allow them to fly it on the twaalf.

Yes a bit of equality, since the tricolour is flown on top of quite a few bonfires on that day.

It's already time for a second run of the classic  'The Shining - Belfast crazed bigot remix'?

Why not?

[Rossfan]

Alliance office gutted by arson attack.

The traditional Unionist Spoiled bully  response when you don't get your own way - burn them out 
And of course it's the other fella's fault - if he'd keep his head down and continue crawling we wouldn't be upset. 
A few posters who criticise things Nationalist seem to be missing in this thread -  Obviously the blinkers are back on 

[Ulick]

They be erecting flags along the Ormeau Rd this morning. In this weather, that's dedication to the flag!
