The other side murdered our next door neighbour's brother-in-law. The other side murdered our postman. The other side blew up an off duty UDR man. And his 10 year old daughter he was giving a lift to school. (Collateral damage, I suppose) The other side murdered a stepdaughter's ex-partners father, after he visited his wife and new born son. At least they waited until he had left the hospital,, although his wife heard the shots. The other side blew up the cousin of another stepdaughter's partner. The other side blew up the cousin of an usher at our wedding. The other side murdered Kenny Shiels' brother. The other side murdered my brother-in-law's boss. The other side tried to ambush my future father-in-law (he died before we got married) and my brother-in-law. The other side tried to ambush my stepson. The other side ambushed a neighbour and left his arm practically useless. The other side ambushed another neighbour and left him blind in one eye. These all happened within 4 miles of my home, apart from our usher's cousin, whose family I know well. One side was certainly doing a lot of hating.

btb Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I note former ERG hardman and current "number 2" in the Norn Ireland Office Steve Baker was sounding conciliatory over the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s unfair I didn’t dismiss anything of the sorts Im talking about NI today in 2022, not the past NI doesn’t even have a government because unionist have thrown the toys out the pram Not to mention that strange hate towards the Irish language and the riots over how often a flag should be flown a few years ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI didn't have a government for 3 years because Sinn Fein threw their rattles out of the pram. The Irish people must have a strange hate for their own language, seeing as most of them can't be bothered speaking it. I thought you were concentrating on today, not past riots.

To paraphrase Newton Emerson in The Portadown News, after first wiping most of the blood off his hands Gerry Adams offered the hand of friendship to Northern Ireland's Unionist community... What's pathetic more than anything else is the way some people on here seem to view politicians like Gerry Adams as progressive leftists and are clearly mystified why there is still no huge surge of enthusiasm for a United Ireland from the people who were targeted in this manner in the era of the baby boom and the armalite. Half of that we don't need to persuade them as part of a democratic process we'll just outbreed them and murder them until we get what we want equation is still on display in this thread. Slow learners indeed. Edited October 11, 2022 by LongTimeLurker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionists will actually be quite relieved by these numbers. As usual the demographic shift has failed to live up to all the hype. Best to check out websites like Slugger O'Toole for what's really happening in NI: https://www.sluggerotoole.com/2022/09/21/what-tomorrows-census-results-will-tell-us-and-just-as-importantly-what-it-will-not/ ...The term Protestant is (as has been the case in mainland UK for most of the late sovereign’s reign) is becoming less and less relevant even for religiously observant members of what we used to call the Reformed Faith. As I argued in that review those areas which see the largest number stating they are neither Protestant nor Catholic are almost exclusively in majority Protestant areas (like North Down, 12% against an NI average of 5.6% in 2011 and 2.7% in west Belfast)... I'm not sure about this. As I understand it, Slugger O'Toole was drunk as a rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Police Scotland are investigating this. How they are going to spin not charging any Irish players while maintaining that it's illegal for anyone Scottish to do this will be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) The country that the team was representing last night exists because of the IRA. I know a lot of the FF/FG crowd don't like this but tough and tough on any British people thinking it's any of their business.
