    Meanwhile, the Apprentice Boys parade passed off peacefully in Derry once again this year. Scumbags of all persuasions in other areas should take note.

    The atmosphere around Derry is completely more chilled out than Belfast, just seems like a great place to go drinking more than anything. Everyone there is extremely friendly, regardless of what 'side' they come from.

    No, there won't.

    How sad is it to see teenagers fighting for support of a royal family and a system that sees them as automatic lowers? Hardly the rebellious behaviour expected of someone that age, they can't all be that dull are they?:confused:

    I doubt this mayhem has anything to do with the Windsors - they are attacking the Queens police force after all.

    Just a bunch of trouble-loving scumbags looking for a ruck with the police I'd reckon...

    ... or as they see it, a "celebration of their culture"

    In this vid(2nd on page) a few seconds in, a loyalist rioter dropped what looked like a heavy bollard on his foot and limped away. Looked quite funny ;)

    I thought that too, but it turned out to be convicted drug dealer and Neil Lennon hater David Craig, who was put out of Scotland and has been trying to start a new (low) life in Sandy Row, getting shot with a plastic bullet.

    Thanks for that - I'm officially now in a fit of laughter from that video. Made my day! :D

    Johnny Adair and his mate Sam McCrory, both infamous Loyalist paramilitaries, both said on different interviews that they'd have been in the IRA had they grown up a mile or so south of where they did.

    There's an element up there who enjoy the buzz of the whole thing and probably couldn't handle becoming a relatively unimportant part of a United Ireland, beyond a few Orange herberts in the West of Scotland or tiny pockets of far right extremists, they're not even important to the rest of the UK.

    The fact that it's happening in Belfast City Centre rather than out in the ghettos might see a bigger crackdown.

    It has given me second thoughts about going up next month to the Titanic Centre.

    I wonder could we rent the Loyalists to protest against the banks?! Seems a bit of a waste expending all that energy over a little parade!

    What? I'm not getting the ride either, and I don't go around kicking seven colours of sh1te out of anyone who looks crooked at me. Not the ladies anyway. Not if there's half a chance!

    Very sad to here things like this still happening in this day and age.

    Well, there'll be no continuation of his "culture" into the next generation if the police show the same unerring accuracy :pac:

    The stupid ****ers don't realise that the more they kick and scream over not being able to dominate the shared spaces the more the British (the real British) will want rid of them.

    I am so, so sorry. That is absolutely shameful. All I can say is that the overwhelming majority of people are not like that.

    I'm heading up to Belfast next weekend and these events are giving me second thoughts of it, our hotel we booked is not close to where the riots were but still to see it in the city centre of Belfast is scary

    Hope it dies down a bit before then...

    Loyalouts make Republicans look like perfect gentlemen.
    The people who congregate at the 11th July bonfires, tanked up on booze, and sing songs cursing the tea-eggs and burn the Irish tricolour and an effigy of the pope are some of the most socially disadvantaged, backward, inward looking, marginalised and uneducated people on the planet. I should know. I was one of them.

    'stories'

    That's somehow comparable with the well documented scenes in Belfast.

    How does one identify a NI car as opposed to one from GB?

    Horrible scenes again last night in Belfast. Though to be honest pretty tame compared to a few years ago. The ira parade in castlederg will be interesting tomorrow.

    Having a parade in castlederg for 2 ira men blown up by their own bomb on the way to blowing up castlederg. Only in Northern Ireland. Lol.

    As to anyone worried about coming to Belfast u will be fine. These things are well policed and the rest of the city even close by will be like normal.
