I've actually heard these bonfire sites being described today as "Unionist cultural expression zones". Incredible.

Its a big deal to a lot of British people living up the North.

Its a celebration of protestant culture and bonfires.

if it is about Protestant culture how come other countries such as Netherlands, Germany with large Protestant majority not have such bonfires

:pac:

Because unionist culture is built on supremacy. They share land with people they feel supreme too and trouble is bound to break out.

Years ago (maybe not as long as people may think) some protestants around our area (rural) would blank you at this time of year, talk to you all year around until near the 12th, then silence.

Does this still happen, (i live in a city now) or do they just ignore everyone on boards?

My Mother's rural neighbours used to do this to her family. Not sure if it still happens.

It's an anti-culture.

tigger123 · 11-07-2017 10:59PM

Why blank people only on the 12th? Its the dumbest f*ckin thing I've ever heard.

Surely if someone is worth blanking, it would be a year round thing, not just special occasions.

The Backwards Man · 11-07-2017 10:59PM

I live in an area that would be fairly close to 50/50 Protestant/Catholic in the south, we're all free staters (:p) and nobody gives a fcuks about them cnuts and their 'culture'.

Scratch that, let them build away, we get a fair few pound out of the refugees from all persuasions this week

Even when the council confiscate a load of them ,they just went and robbed them back: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/uda-boss-stitts-gang-behind-theft-of-bonfire-pallets-stored-by-belfast-city-council-35894842.html

They weren't confiscated. The council were actually storing them for one group, then another group stole them!

steddyeddy · 11-07-2017 11:03PM

When anyone asks what would Ireland be like under British rule I point North. Economy in ruins, divided society and bigotry as standard. No thanks.

Syphonax · 11-07-2017 11:03PM

Its like the Gay Pride festival all over again...yeah we already know! Enuff Already!

I know of a few businesses that just leave the gates open and let them take them, less hassle. Fcuking CHEP pallets at a fiver a pop, some of them bonfires have would raise ten's of thousands for something for their wains if they had any sense

Junkyard Tom · 11-07-2017 11:07PM

Firefighters keeping local businesses doused with water while a bonfire burns next to them. In any other place in the civilised world the bonfire would be doused but not in Unionist Cultural Expression Zones.

TBH this is why loyalisms rabid hatred doesn't shock us, the media in the republic have desperately punted the "they're as bad as each other" line for as long as I've been around. It's only when loyalists direct their vitriol at gays, polish and such that your Irish Times reading punter becomes uncomfortable

Look at the British media. Partition of Ireland was great and the IRA are the only cause of problems in the North.

It's weird. You will find people insisting it's British simply out of some imperial sense of duty. The same people will have zero clue ablut the history involved.

nullzero · 11-07-2017 11:35PM

These people's ancestors were important to Britain when the plantation of Ulster happened but they have become of less and less importance or interest to their overlords as time has gone by. The disdain shown by the British media towards Theresa May's deal with the DUP should leave these people in no doubt that they are no longer relevant to the British people and in all honesty they never were relevant.
Does the average British person (from the island of Britain ; England, Scotland and Wales) wake up every day and think to themselves, "thank God the Ulster unionists are protecting their culture and by extension my culture, they make me feel so proud to be British"?

These horrible hate filled people are a relic of a bygone age, the quasi cargo-cultesque nonsense they go on with is mind boggling.

I'd continue to post about their failings but they're just not worth the effort.

2017.. and yet here they are as if it were 1817.
How in the name of fook did the police not stop the racism there?
Bananas, coffins.. wtf
I'd love to know how much that costs the tax payer to clean up.

Ironically their actions each year may help bring a United Ireland closer.

As the catholic population overtakes the protestant population in the North, there will need to be support from catholics to stay in the union. The more this sectarian hate goes on the less chance catholics will want to stay in the union.

osarusan · 11-07-2017 11:41PM

It's funny how the formation of the new British government resulted in a huge amount of people looking at (or even realising the existence of) the DUP and their policies for the first time, and the horror at some of them.

And for them and their supporters in NI, a sobering wake-up call as to just how ignored and unknown they are throughout the union they want to remain a part of.

To know that nobody gives a f**k about you, and that when you disappear (and you will), that nobody in your beloved union will care or even notice it...well, if they weren't such a pack of c*nts, I'd almost feel sorry for them.

So it's the 12th of July tomorrow. Will the North ever not be sectarian?
