The glorious 12th

realdanbreen

I see where there is a gigantic pile of pallets stacked up in an estate in Portadown which the fire service regard as a 'serious health and safety risk'. Apparently 30+ firms have been approached to remove/dismantle it but nobody will touch it. One things for certain if that was some years ago in a nationalist area the British army would be steaming in like a flash to dismantle it and anything else that was in its way.

The same Gardai that let a load of guys dressed up like the IRA march down O'Connell street?

The Gardai have no law to back them up on that though.

There are plenty of laws governing what is going on up in northern Ireland. Incitement to hatred, environmental damage etc etc.

That's bizarre. So the state police are saying 'dont disturb these mental fires, or the local thugs and killers will be after you'.

How about.. police the community? Police dangerous bonfires on public land?

They can't the state and the police are inherently pro loyalist, just more softly so than in the RUC days.

we need to integrate these people into our society through unification and quick. not nearly enough maniac head-the-balls as it is.

The extremists on both sides who build these things are complete knack bags but unfortunately there seems to be a hell of a lot of that sort of people up North.

Correct. In rural areas the day is more of just a family parade. Most areas do not have big bonfires. I cannot see the attraction in building bonfires. The Republicans do it too with anti internment anniversaries etc.
One thing for sure, things are different up there, and there will never be a United Ireland in our lifetime, thank God.

Some of the comments here tell me so much about how a new Ireland is not ready.

I don’t think Antifa would fancy their chances on the Loyalist 11th Night:eek:

They're special guests as part of the burning torch relay that lights the bonfire.

That wouldn't be very wise, all those nails in the pallets - might be struck by lightning

Hate Ireland and the Irish but want to live in Ireland, and as ethno-religious supremacists on top of it all, odd bunch. (Not all of them, just the extreme element)

It really is just a hate filled celebration of bigotry, sectarianism and intimidation.
Nothing cultural whatsoever with colossal bonfires burning tonnes of rubber tyres.
Just imagine the environmental impact if nothing else.

It's a very dangerous thing to do. I think there were a couple of kids killed, back in the day, when bonfires were lit early as they'd been inside them in little lookouts and had fallen asleep.

Delighted that Westminster forced the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion on the North. Yet again the province is dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

This will give the loyalist troglodytes something to rant bout. There a times when I'm frankly ashamed to admit that I was born in Belfast.

Only if there is no government in NI by Oct
