Belfast rioting over removal of Union Jack

[Lecale2]

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

I went over to talk to them about 11.30 and explained very politely that their actions would harm community relations.
They just ignored me & carry on putting up their flag so I told them if they didn't stop at once I would boycott the annual Parador v Apprentice Boys Band Hall cricket match. They just laughed at me.
They probably thought I was joking but I'm not. That's me finished with cross community cricket!

Noticed the cricket pictures on the walls of the Parador last week and was wondering what they were all about.

Protesting outside Catholic primary schools now:

Children at Little Flower School in North Belfast who live near Hightown Road, Glengormley are sent home early because of a planned protest

And it's all the Alliance Pary's fault.


Why are they not burning down Sinn Fein and SDLP offices ?


Perverse to say the least.

The final screech
The day 'no surrender' died.

If it didn't die, it's terminal.

That poor wee woman was in some pain and torment.

What must she have been told before she left the parish hall before heading down to City Hall ?

Does this mean the protest is at the school or at the Hightown Road??  Plus is "Little Flower" not the girls' secondary on the Somerton Road??  The primary school on the Antrim Road beside the Chester goes under St Therese of Lisieux PS??

[orangeman]

And we thought loyalist protesting at primary schools was a thing of the past

No idea, just saw that on Twitter.

No idea, just saw that on Twitter.

Sounds like there is something planned for Glengormley and kids who live there being sent home??  Reminds me of the "good old days" of the 70s when there's be the odd day we'd get sent home early due to bus hijackings on the Antrim Rd.  Ahh nostalgia...

[Ulick]

Ah right, sorry I didn't read it that way, sounds right.

1982 or 2012 ?


Crazy stuff altogether.


Did i read somewhere today that former Larne SDLP mayor is thinking of joining the DUP as he reckons the DUP represents his faith better ?

What next ?

Let him feck off then, bloody idiots putting fairytails ahead of real politics.

"We will look at the situation at Stormont and if it is feasible that we can fly the national flag on more days than is currently the case, that is something we will look at."

This is part of an Edwin Poots interview on the bbc.

So looks like they would like to review stormont flag flying policy with a view to flying it more there.

Oh what a petty place we live in.
