Tit for tat bonfires is a bit 1970s though.

What is the flag under the Palestinian one?

The whole place is a powder keg at the minute (no pun intended) and Brexit is making it worse. I don’t remember there being so much needless sectarianism since the bad old days.

Brilliant that they’ve finally accepted the situation and are flying the national flag....rightly so.

About time like.

Irish sunburst flag

. The sunburst became a common part of nationalist iconography in the early nineteenth century, often being used in conjunction with the harp. In 1858 a revolutionary movement was formed which was known as the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Ireland but used the name 'Fenian Brotherhood' among Irish emigrants in the United States - 'Fenian' being an anglicisation of 'Fianna'. Not surprisingly, the new movement made use of the sunburst.

Is does seem like there's now a generation who have experienced relative peace wanting to rip it all up and start the fighting again.

These people are the minority now but only just. Hopefully the normal sane thinking people over there can fuck all the Neanderthals off

It'd be a crying shame to have to go back to the troubled days of the late 60s -8os. A lot of good work undone by a minority who are hell bent on lighting the fuse.

I was up in Belfast for a stag party about 2 years ago. The stag want to go to the Falls Road. It was like we entered a time warp! We left a lovely city centre and went back to 1982! I'd imagine the Skankhill is the same.

That's how it is. One side those it it's OK but when the other side does it it's trouble.

Could you expand on that please? Who has said that it’s ok for one side and not the other?

They do. It's OK for one side of do something like this and not the other side. Both sides are f***ing backward bellends.

The Mrs' parents were over at the weekend. Her dad lives in Derry, he was saying how bad it is at the minute. Seems like it's been barely reported here.
