Yeh see this is not a good look. From a "wedding" yesterday up north.

And the kids there too.

*sigh* (sorry if already a thread, I didn't spot)

There is a LONG way to go to change mindsets.

Good clean honest fun. Are they wrong?

Yer Da sells Avon · 06-10-2019 1:25am

If they get divorced, will they still be cousins?

Plumbthedepths · 06-10-2019 1:33am

It's sweet that like minded scum found each other and got married.

Ronin247 · 06-10-2019 1:37am

Inbreeding at its finest

Kermit.de.frog · 06-10-2019 1:38am

This will be in the papers up there tomorrow apparently. Hence why they are likely to lose their jobs (if they have employment). Such silly people.

Wedding suppose to be one of the happiest days of your life.

Mind boggles.

There are literally no words to describe how appalling this wedding is

Imagine being a guest at this

‘Appalling’ is a word

Apart from that, being asked to imagine being a guest at the wedding, I can easily imagine being a guest at that wedding, they appear to be having a good time, as one would expect to have at a wedding if one is actually one of the guests? The author of that tweet appears to be very bitter about the fact they weren’t invited to a wedding they wouldn’t have wanted to attend? It’s a bizarre complaint tbh!

I just can’t see any reason to fire them from their jobs. I was expecting to see them wreck the venue or something. A couple of sing songs is standard fare at weddings. I’m just wondering what I’m supposed to be getting that’s so wrong with what’s going on in that video.

can't make out wtf they are saying?

is it "fff the pope and the IRA?"

The video has been viewed 1.1 million times. Papers tomorrow. They are going to be fired. :pac:

Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

Christopher Stevenson & Jennie Andrews, what a lovely couple.

For what though?

Singing “fcuk the Pope and the IRA”?

Tbh Kermit this has all the hallmarks of manufactured controversy - “Gay wedding cake - Part 2”.

NIMAN · 06-10-2019 1:55am

What do you mean 'manufactured'.

These 2 are in for a sh1tstorm. You really think they would go along with something that is going to cause them a lot of pain?

Stuff like this was happening for years, just that we never seen it before.

Honest question are you serious, or just a really stupid individual?

I’m serious, and I’m still none the wiser as to what people’s issue is here? What’s all the fuss about?

You're serious, sound. You clearly know f**k all about NI and sectarianism.

Jesus for the third time of asking - what are they in trouble for?

Yup, after the NI football fans were filmed singing sectarian songs in a pub during the Euros (there were consequences for some of them IIRC) you would think some common sense would be employed in terms of at least keeping the bigotry out of sight. :pac:

Why would bigotry even be part of a wedding? Like I said it's supposed to be one of the best days of your life.

Each to their own I guess.

NIMAN · 06-10-2019 1:59am

The fuss is, its on social media.
Everything on social media is big news.

Am I bothered this couple holds these views? That they are bigots?
No, not at all. Couldn't care less. Their views have no impact on my life, but there are already people on social media launching campaigns to have them sacked, which will likely happen now as social media mobs have so much power.

Oh, and gay cake thing is still going strong afaik, far from dead.

I know plenty about NI and sectarianism. I also know that this was a private function and the bride and groom are not public figures. I’ve also never been to a wedding where there wasn’t a rabble rousing sing song. I’ve been to weddings where far more serious **** than this went down, but then none of it was posted on social media by some arsehole. Maybe that’s what I’m missing.

Thank you, Jesus it took that long to get a straight answer :pac:

They have made themselves public figures.

Is sectarianism, racism, bigotry etc a thing at the weddings you attend?

I agree lots of **** goes down at weddings - but not that type of bigotry/hatred from my experience.

Maybe you hang out with people in to that stuff, dunno.

I'd say it's a minority sport though.

NIMAN · 06-10-2019 2:05am

They'll be grand on MOnday, assume if they were married this weekend then they'll have at least a week or two off for the honeymoon.

Sacked before the months out though!

Apologies but I must call bs on your comment. My family is from NI Strabane to be exact I have been to loads of weddings and none descended to this type of sectarianism. You missing lots tbh.

NIMAN · 06-10-2019 2:07am

I'd guess there is a fair chance:

1) they work with Catholics
2) there was at least one Catholic at their wedding

If so, their decision to sing this on their entrance was a bit daft.

Ipso · 06-10-2019 2:10am

In fairness, the pope might have done something to them.

Well that’s generally what goes on at any wedding I’ve ever been to, that’s why I wasn’t getting what all the fuss was about. As soon as it was explained by NIMAN that it was posted on social media, I copped that yeah, there’s going to be the usual shìte headed their way like Lorenzo on steroids :rolleyes:

ToddyDoody · 06-10-2019 2:12am

What they needed to do was go back out the door and then do 'fcuk the queen and the UVF' to keep all sides happy... or no-one happy, as is usually the case.
