Well hopefully people will read between the lines, protest = riot. Car with Southern license plate doing Christmas shopping - sharkfood, including its occupants.

Chuck Stone

I can't see Unionist business people being too pleased about this either in the run-up to Xmas.

The entirety of South Belfast? It's pretty huge, and there are still areas where they wouldn't dare to go.

TeddyTedson

Can't we all just get along. I think we should destroy politics and all this ****e. Go back to the stone age. Then do the same thing all over again. Then repeat. Then repent.

Slydice

That sounds pretty ****ing scary.

Where To

Scaremongering thread is scaremongering.

The only car that would be attacked in Magherafelt or Limavady is the OP's for attempting to drive business out of the town.

And as for the hotbed of loyalism that is Ballycastle?!!!

Jesus wept.

Chuck Stone

Yeah we could be doing with a credible source there OP in fairness.

Unless... unless it's you who'll be orchestrating the demonstrations. :eek:

I pity the sensible people of NI. They've had to put up with violent fúckwits for half a century.

They're also preventing people from buying more flags. Can't have enough flags in this weather.

Hmmm....wonders if all this flag furore has been a cunning ploy sponsored by the Irish government to keep money from leaving the country...

I know of someone who did just that... unfortunately they scattered and left behind a woman in a wheelchair!
When it went to court it was ruled that he acted in fear for his life and got off with a slap on the wrist if anything.

Fratton Fred

I would like to see a source for this, but if it remotely true, it's pretty shocking. It's a flag lads, calm down. All you are doing is bringing shame to your nation.

Mind you, a bit of rioting and looting this time of year is a handy way to grab a new tv in time for Christmas.

theblueirish

I was in Belfast on Saturday to do a bit of shoping and a few steins in the Christmas market.
The genuine protesters were out numbered by about 2-1 by thugs with their faces covered with scarfs, when the protest was over the all loitered around city hall looking for trouble.
Thankfully the PSNI handled it well, basically told them to remove scarfs or face arrest.

Good points: shops alot quieter, ques not as long.
Bad points: Fecking plastic glasses in the beer tents. Nice lovely steins behind the counter that you were only allowed to look at. Even the specialist beers were poured into plastic cups. Just not on!!

Ghandee

I've a meeting in Newry on Friday at 1pm.

I need the meeting like a hole in the head in fairness, but I'll be there in my southern reg car at 1pm sharp.

On my way back to Kildare I reserve the right to plough through any protest that attempts to surround my vehicle, and impede my homeward bound journey.

Fair warning.

You'll be fine in Newry! Its the loyalists I would fear for there!

mfceiling

They are right to target Irish reg cars.

I mean who wants thousands of shoppers coming into these towns and spending millions of pounds that will help local businesses?

All it will do is provide employment and increase the tax take which would only be used foolishly like providing services and help the huge welfare bill that the majority of these scumbags are inevitably on..

If I see a knacker wrapped in a union jack waving a hammer I'm accelerating towards him.

What the fuck!?!?! Now there's something worth protesting over.

fasttalkerchat

There wan't too much trouble by the sounds of things. A bit of a knock about between loyalists and police in their own area (the Village).

All AH shyte aside, I've to send workers to N.Belfast tomorrow (one of whom is my kid) - is it worth the risk or should I postpone? Serious answers please as I've no desire to send lads into a sh1tfest driving southern reg vans.

guttenberg

If there not going anywhere near a protest they will be fine, if they are they will usually see a dozen armoured landrovers in advance of the protest so they can drive around it.

Is there a setting on sat-nav for "avoid protests on route"?:)
Not sure they'd have enough local knowledge to drive around it. I have visions of them doing a left, a right, another right, and ending up right in the middle of one! Having serious second thoughts here.

Belfast isn't that hard to navigate. You will also see plenty of southern reg cars driving about every day.

Well if they do run into one they'll get directed down some different street and if there satnav is like mine it'll start screaming "RECALCULATING ROUTE" and it'll be grand. Personally I'd let them go ahead, work is work! but if your gonna worry about them all day then it's probably not worth it.
