Riots in the northern part of Ireland

"I have never really taken an interest in the politics of Northern Ireland, so can someone explain to me what is happening at present and why they have started rioting?" is how I would have started it. No mention of Greece as that is just stupid.

As Ernie can confirm I don't tend to eulogise about the Irish, however... the whole mess up North seems without an easy way out and they're trying to find one. Calling them names, accusing of idiocy, patronising from behind a computer isn't going to make any difference. Until the borders are totally removed throughout Europe, until there's only one central government, until we become The United States of Europe (or Democratic Republic of Europe if you prefer) the residents of NI are going to suffer. There isn't a clear majority wanting to join RoI, at the same time there isn't one for remaining within UK, it's all fifty-fifty.
For the record, I'm uncertain one massive European state is the way forward, too many wrong examples of such in history - USSR and USA spring to mind.Posted 11 months ago # -
Honestly think this is a pretty pointless attempt at trolling. Go learn about Ireland then you can have an opinion.
Also thanks for your money, can we have more? We are pretty broke after painting all our tigers green.

I will switch of 'troll mode'
Sorry DD if you were offended earlier, I was carrying on in the nature of the trolling thread.Many complex issues invloved in most of NI. We havent yet sorted out the victim/truth commission, some of the MLAs at Stormont may not want to face the past.
With regards the rioting it was due to the some loyalist crimes being investigated by the Historical Enquiries Team. They feel as if they are being targeted and the Nationalists (inc some Sinn Fein MLAs) aren't. So they kick off a bit of rioting. It really is a tiny bit of Belfast that has seen trouble for many years, so not really rioting across Northern Ireland.
Although if the proposed ban on cycling on NI forestry land comes into force there will be one hell of a riot

yunki, I was simply trying to goad sv into continuing to post.
What was the ****?

It amazes me that with voices of moderation and inclusion like Ian Paisley there's any trouble there at all.
Did anyone see the recent programme on Channel 4 about the marching bands in Belfast? It was utterly depressing. The sectarianism is utterly endemic, passed down, unquestioned, from generation to generation. You wonder when watching that whether there will ever be an end to it

Troll of a troll on a trolling thread
BTW there wasnt any tales told as far as I am aware. I was just showing how simple it could be to flare issues up about NI.
Posted 11 months ago # -
You could say that. As you're aware, I didn't report. I only ever report spam or blatant sporting spoilers
You did insult an entire nation of people tbf - through ignorance though, which is why I didn't report it.

it wouldnt post the word I that I requested so I posted the pic to illustrate the point..
my gran used to have a rhyme to go with the insult but it was a bit offensive and might have gotten the thread reported..
Posted 11 months ago # -
Oh right, the pic isn't coming up for me. Just as well I'm feeling immune to casual insults today.

Sadly some people dont get it, The uk invaded the island of ireland, and set up an english county there governed from england,that requires a lot of subsidy, and an army prescence, so how would people feel if geramny had took over east anglia, but then we did have 2 wars with the germans to stop them.
Alos strange that some result to insults , just like children do at school, when they just cant think out of the box,or just perhaps its a padded cell with internet access.
LOL.

sv, don't confuse what project just wrote with "history"
project, seriously dude, I'm not going to insult you, but you need to get a few facts right. Your little potted history isn't quite all there!

How do you feel about the whole Norman invasion thing. Time to kick the frogs out?

project, have a watch of "The History of Ireland", so many facts both sides tend to get wrong... You might learn something.

Guys I was indulging him! So after you have sent everybody 'home' what would you do with the uninhabited piece of land? Oh were would home be considering 'England' invaded many decades ago and most of the NI population have only ever lived in NI? When do you plan to start this migration?

You should read a bit more...you can't solve the problems of the 6 counties by turning back history 4 or 5 centuries, that's retarded. (plus you just going to leave the scots planters there?)Just like a home swop.
and as for why this is happening now, I'd have a guess at a loyalist power struggle, with various factions flexing their muscles.

Just like a home swop.
I thought the population swap was with the west of Scotland hence the sectarianism there. ????
Although I suspect send all the Glaswegian / Lanarkshire Catholics to the 6 counties and all the norn irish protestants to Weeigieland might not solve a great deal

Well you obviously "get it" project.........so why the need to start a thread with :
"So just what are they up to, and what do they expect to gain, it not like theyre greek and broke and going to have to make massive cutbacks"
You're just a big trolling tease....aincha mate ?

The original issue was from 1200 something wasn't it? Didn't the Normans invade back then and install English/Norman Lords?
