Belfast rioting over removal of Union Jack

[EC Unique]

Willie has been charged with a number of public order offences

Looking forward to his next YouTube installment.

A wee spell in the B&B I wonder?

Hopefully these two jokers are prosecuted heard a story about a flegger who was acting the big hard man on the street when he was lifted, although when it was confirmed that bail had been refused and he would have to serve his remand at Maghaberry he turned to a blubbering mess. Tighten then in my opinion I just pray it happens though.

What I always find interesting the pro-Irish side tend to refer to themselves as nationalists, republicans, Irish, Ulstermen, by their county of origin, North of Irelandmen, Northern Irish first etc. The pro-British side seem to mostly refer to themselves as Protestant first.

Interesting point. You never hear 'Catholic' used in that context.

I wonder how many of these 'Protestants' attend their Church every Sunday?

They seem more interested in their rights as Protestants rather than their rights as United Kingdom citizens, British citizens, Irish citizens or residents of Northern Ireland. Is this because the U.K. & Ireland or the concepts of Irish, British or Northern Irish try (often fail, esp. in the past) to give all people under their umbrella a level of equality, but a religious affiliation gives a decree from a higher power of the superiority of one group over another.

I have come across even seemingly liberal pro-UK N.Irish friends and they seem to be Irish all but "they are Protestant", they have to differentiate themselves by saying "I'm Protestant", while I would differentiate myself by "I'm Irish". These friends cannot tell me anything about any variation of Protestantism, they do not attent church and some appear to be as Atheist as me, but they are "Protestant" 

These same people I have to explain to them what the St.Patrick's Cross is.
