They are NAT AREESH! They are BRATEESH.

Though for all the thanks they get from actual british people, you'd wonder why they bother.

not a phrase from me cos I'd never be so crude, but prods arriving in london at the hieght of PIRA's campaigns just treated like 'any bog paddy'. With all the suspicion and scrutiny and random hatred that entailed, by the usual suspects

I know.

Remember the one who successfully sued the University that employed him - cos his workmates kept calling him Irish?!

Of course, once they knew it annoyed the fuck out of him they started calling him Gerry Adams too. Fair play to them.

Break it all down and you get an undefferinated mass who are confused about their place in this world. As a republican I'm sold on the whole issue of a United Ireland but I'm nothing. What republicanism needs to do is convince a working class hun in a United Ireland. We're losing that battle.

Dude..under the gfA...fuck..where do I start . See that bit in the proclamation , about " oblivious to the differences carefully fostered by an alien government , which have divided a minority from the majority.."

That's fucked now under the gfa . Prods are British now . Not Irish . That's the law. And we who hold to that republican proclamation are " traitors to Ireland" , according to Martin mcguiness . We've had over a decade now of stormont rule . Sectarianism reigns supreme . There you go , you have your peace , have your powers haring stormont . It's a sectarian shithole . The only thing that will ever upset that equation is a fully sovereign nation . Of32 counties .


We have the alternative today , and its poisonous .

Think of the generations yet unborn . This is not normality , no much how Sinn fein try and sell it as such . Fuck that .

Casually Red If you are heading down the road later watch out for the local bully/village idiot. He's been growling at everyone - big Liam threatened to weigh him in for picking on various people he would regard as easy pickings just before I arrived - but he seems to have gone home for a kip.

Actually I'm not sure if he went home for a kip or to tool up after my brief conversation with him.

Shame he lives round here. he'd be right at home in the Shankill.

Lot of chat about him this evening , amongst much bigger bullies . Ah well, such is life .

Trouble makers and proffessional complainers building houses too close to the bonfire -

Subtitled report on the houses built too close to bonfires. Can't work out how to embed it, sorry.

That is massive. You could fit the borgia popes, half a dozen saints and a nativity scene on the top of that. If those pallets are honestly come by then they must have dug deep for the money.. A great tower to bellendry

 

[Belushi]

It looks like a fucking pagoda, do they import pallets specially for these bonfires?

thanks for the offer, but i think we will decline

Note that they have used all the big sturdy blue ones on the base, and the matchstick shit ones on the top. Blue pallets in good nick are worth money as well. They can't have nicked that many.

 

[likesfish]

Blue pallets are owned by the blue pallet company and are meant to be returned some beeb diy show got into trouble for using them on one its shows to build a deck or something

Not sure they are going to complain about a bunch of violent nutters who have absoulty no links to violent gangsters though

Thats because not being from there nobody cares if your a prod or catholic so couldnt tell the diffrence or care if they could

I always quite like to mention that at the 12 August showdown between Billy and Jimmy the pope was actually an ally of William's Protestant army...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Boyne

Always worth dropping that into the conversation along with the spaceship on the Garvaghy Road gag.

Those blue pallets are like 5 quid each and there's literally thousands upon thousands of them in these bonfires. If they spent as much time and effort making their communities more inclusive and better places to live we'd be going in the right direction but no build a big fire next to houses cos it's an expression of 'culture' Christ on a fucking bike.

" UDA 2nd battalion . Manatee division ."

That's brilliant, have a proviesnack (you filthy Strasserite).

I once saw a mural artist asked why he always painted lads in balaclavas. Eventually he admitted that he wasn't a good enough artist to paint faces.

Can you imagine people born on the island of Ireland hating anything and everything Irish. Denying the fact they are Irish and shoving that down other Irish people's faces?

This is the life of a loyalist. They will fly the flag of nazis and confederates alongside Israeli flags as if fuck all else matters! Nothing but scum.

Surely there must be some protestant left wingers? Or does who they're born to dictate support for fascists and imperialists for life? Fuck that.

In the 1930s there was an IRA company on the Shankill rd . All left wing . A leading member of the INLA at one stage was a guy called Ronnie Bunting , a protestant marxist . His dad was Paisleys right hand man at one stage , his enforcer in the early days . Bunting was assassinated circa 1980 . Another guy John Turnley who was in a moderate but republican leaning political group was assassinated in the same period . A mate of my grandads .
I've met a number of left wing and left republican Protestants over the years but they're a very small minority to say the least . The fact is opposing the bigots within loyalist communities isn't good for your health . You stand a very real chance of encountering very serious violence and intimidation , and being killed pretty much. Often those who take on such views have to jump off the Protestant ship and seek refuge among the other lot . Which means they don't organise within the Protestant community .

There definitely are " dissidents " of varying hues and stripes . And always have been . My brothers married to a Protestant girl from a staunch unionist area . Bit of an eye opener marrying into my wacky family but she took it in her stride . As did her relatives . All sound decent people .

historically, any sign of growing support for left wing groups was shortly followed by whipping up a group hate on catholics so the unionist leadership didn't have to share power with anyone. they had a great line in convincing w/c protestants to play the turkey woting for christmass and reject having any real influence themselves so catholics didn't get any either. following that, the DUP was the first party to significantly focus on the rights of w/c protestants and they played the loyalist card to the full.

so socialism has been linked with disloyalty, with nationalism, it's a dirty word, so you end u with groups like the PUP as progressive unionism that are supposedly left-loyalism , cause they can't call themselves anything that's not demonstrating loyalty.

so with mass politics being like that in protestant areas, they are few and far between and need to reject a lot more inbred bullshit. there have always been some though, like a few protestants in the INLA. but most of those not willing to completely cross the line know to keep quiet
