Northern Ireland 2125?

You claim to have, 'clearly demonstrated' it, Blanch.....yet you've dodged the question on whether someone in Fermanagh was speaking a native language the day before partition and an imported one the day after without changing a word they spoke?

Language and dialects change over time, Ulster Gaeilge had already mostly superceded Fermanagh specific Gaeilge by the time partition occurred......because thats what happens with dialects. There was no time where no Irish was spoken in Northern Ireland and the dialect spoken there today has as much in common with a hundred years ago as the English spoken in London today does with that spoken a hundred years ago there.

For how quickly you throw out accusations of sectarianism at others, not a single poster on here goes out of their way to try and demean and diminish the identity of the Irish in NI as you do.

....I literally said I didn't see an assault in the video, made it clear I was asking a genuine question and asked for it to be pointed out. You've quoted me pointing out that some of the band members tried to calm it down as the judge commented and also that it wasn't grounds for trying to ban the parade as some online commentary at the time was pushing.

£850 fine, justice served I suppose, well done!

When I disagree with your spin on events, I'm quite comfortable calling it out directly rather than feigning ignorance and presenting statements or commentary under the veneer of questions, that is more your own style.

Your gloating about Soldier F is noted without comment as that is all it is worth.

I wasn't implying a single thing, I very explicitly said exactly what I saw and asked you to point out what you were claiming in the video while adding the caveat that I did see band members calming it down and that despite some of the online ranting at time I didn't think it was grounds to sanction the parade.

I said I couldn't see much because I couldn't see much in the video you posted. If it was other posters who made the point to sate your victim complex, perhaps you should've quoted them instead.

Other users have answered the BS of your paragraph one.

"But putting signs in to other persons areas".

The signs are put on PUBLIC highways they are not put on private property. The jurisdiction is NI not a gerrymandered part of a city where you can get a bigot majority to come up with your own laws. You cant get a bigot majority in one small city like belfast even. Its iver for the bigots. You have to say part of one small city. The jurisdiction is small and shared hence why there will be homogeneous dual language signage witin the jurisdiction and the indigenous irish language speakers will feel welcome on all its public highways.

Is that head in the sand denial or just plain ignorance of what was done to Irish education in NI and how the one party Unionist state banned street names in Irish?

And PIVOT when you don’t wish to confront the factual history of the one party bigoted sectarian statelet.

But in 2025 when the Republic have dual signs as do jurisdictions in Britain why do you propose the NI jurisdiction to be different. Reeks of the exact same prejudice of the past. English only speakers in Wales or the Republic dont have problems with dual signs. Perhaps follow your own advice and stop living in the past. In 2025 indigenous languages are cherished and put on signs and normal people who aren't living in the past dont have issues with it.

'It is only demeaning and diminishing the identity if you don't view identity in the exact same way I do' isn't the super inclusive message you think it is.

I see you're still dodging the question about the Irish speaker the day before and after partition, quite obviously because it sticks your whole point about, 'importing' the language on it's hole. Clearly demonstrated......aye, you've certainly clearly demonstrated something.

Does the same apply in the republic? Are irish people who cant speak irish demeaned because there is dual signage? Are welsh people who cant speak welsh demeaned by dual signage too?

NOBODY is changing the name. Fallacy after fallacy after fallacy.

businesses in N.I. will have to give the Irish address as well as the English language address on all stationary, websites, company written material etc

What 'shinner' said this?

More smearing?
