[Closed] Riots in the northern part of Ireland

unemployable impoverished petty criminals on both sides looking for some entertainment. not much else behind it.

So just what are they up to

I assume this is some sort of troll and you have actually heard that there certain issues concerning sectarian strife in NI ?

And no, it's nothing like Greece.

Ernie , yes, but they live together all year round, then usually they start fighting once a year, and for what.

Ireland as a country has made huge cutbacks already, and the english part of ireland are needing to do the same all due to the current ecconomic crisis globaly.

the english part of ireland

and where in the **** would that be?

I remember the days of drinking on the streets in Lower Birdge Street, Chester. At a certain time on a Saturday night the classes would start flying between Clavertons and the Kings Head.
Warm weather, dickheads and the slightest excuse.

I suspect that the "english part of ireland" comment is an attempt to stoke up an initially at least, failed troll.

The part commonly known as northern.

Ireland is an island, and it was partially invaded by the english, who continue to live and work there, yet are dependant on the uk governmnet for funding, unlike the southern part of the island of ireland which is totally dependant on its own funding.

is that near the 'english part' of Finland?

you really are quite thick aren't you.

Probably closer to the 'english part of Spain', hang on a mo...

Here project, FFS, before you make any more of an eejit out of yourself, Feargal Keane did a five part documentary recently called "The History of Ireland". I hope, for your sake, it's still available on the iPlayer.

I'm half Irish.

It seems like it's the young generation. Those who grew up with the benefit of the peace process going on. It's heartbreaking to see that the young are far more radicalised than their parents.

It's time we all grew up, forgave and moved on. I don't care who governs Northern Ireland, just so long as people stop trying to kill one another.

Project, don't you listen to them! You keep right on posting.

When I was working flat out last year there is no way on earth I would of had the time to go rioting of a night.

Maybe jobs and hobbies wouldn't go a miss.

Not quite right there are you - 7billion of your 'English' pounds was given to them recently (although these 'English' pounds are really Scottish oil/gas pounds). The Republic of Ireland are also broke and living of the IMF/Euro bank.

Lots of soldiers from Northern Ireland are fighting your English war in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. What would we do without the English - eh!

7billion of your 'English' pounds was given to them recently

Britain hasn't given the Republic of Ireland anything. The £7billion is a loan.

Lol! You won't see it again, you do know they are all pikeys and on the take?

you do know they are all pikeys and on the take?

No I didn't. Thanks for putting me straight on that.

See that's were the Greek connection is...

This is the thread that keeps on giving 😀 Ernie, are you going to stand for that?

you do know they are all pikeys and on the take?

I always like to give someone a chance to make a grovelling apology before reporting his or her post. So, sv, are you going to admit that you're talking absolute bollocks there (not to mention your complete dullard-like ignorance of economics)?

😯

Oh ffs don't spoil what started off as a pointless and boring thread, and only now starting to become interesting, by reporting a post.

EDIT : No actually you're right Deadly - I need to stop getting drawn to this thread and do some work/earn some money........put the dampers on it.

Ah DD good of you to highlight my post, there might be other posts on this thread that are offensive to some. Seeing as we are supposed to be grown ups are you going to run and tell the teacher? The ROI do have some issues with government ministers and questionable bank transfers, what was the name of that recent one? And don't get me started on that gun running one 😉

I also see it on a daily basis within the ROI business community, brown envelopes seem to be the rule rather than the exception. The 7billion was to save the billions the ROI buy from the UK each year and help stabilise their economy. It was stated at the time it was a loan that will never be expected to be repaid, so is it still a loan?

Ahhhh I'm telling teacher.!

The GAA season is almost over, football there is shite. No MTB centres running, not everyone plays golf. What else are they supposed to do to remain fit?
Project, come over to either part of the border and see this no cutbacks life for yourself.

don't get the thread closed down ffs. the poster has made a complete twunt of themselves already which should serve as penance. i can't see that any amount of modding is needed.

Kettle is on, any orders? Ok, nice builders tea and a proletariat plain digestive for Ernie, DD, what do you want to go with that fondant fancy?

sv - Member
Blah blah blah

Right you've just highlighted shite that has gone on everywhere in the world with every Government, every business community, every crooked bastard developer for decades. So are you saying it's just Irish people and politicians that behave in this way?

Still waiting on your explanation of "They're all pikeys and on the take by the way"...if you're going to deflect, it's best done with something approaching intelligent debate. I can see you're going to struggle on that one.

Ahhhh I'm telling teacher.!

Are you neilsonwheels? What's up with you?

Boohoo DD!

Boohoo DD!

Yes, I see...it might take me a while to come up with a retort to that one...

show 'em how it should be done sbz

show 'em how it should be done sbz

🙂

When sbz calls you a failed troll, you know you really have something to worry about!

"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.

He called Greece STUPID!!!

RACIST!

etc

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.

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 😉

tell tale tit..

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

simply trying to goad sv into continuing to post

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.

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.

What was the ****?

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.. 😕

Oh right, the pic isn't coming up for me. Just as well I'm feeling immune to casual insults today.

You did insult an entire nation of people tbf

At least I can take something positive away from this morning 😀

If that kind of thing is what makes your day matey, then knock yourself out.

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.

Project that's all history, how would you fix it now and for the future?

Move the english ones back to england and send the Irish back, sadly id loose a lot of irish freinds.

Just like a home swop.

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!

[i]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.[/i]

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.

Project that's all history

is it ? i'm not sure that it tallies with any account of history that i'm familiar with.

Someone's been reading my Big Book of Bollocks again!

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?

Move the english ones back to england and send the Irish back, sadly id loose a lot of irish freinds.

Just like a home swop.

Watch out Kofi Annan, this one's got some chops!

Project, can we get some wisdom on the Palestinian issue please? While you're on a roll.

But I really like Bristol - and I've integrated really well. 😐

The uk invaded the island of ireland, and set up an english county there governed from england

You learn something new every day on this forum. 😆

Project, that is brilliant! Now; what tyres for peace in the Middle East?

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.

project, you are the gift that keeps giving, albeit utter drivel

😕 Really ? Why can I confirm this ?

And if you can't praise the Irish, what are you doing in Ireland ?

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

Sadly some people dont get it, The uk invaded the island of ireland, and ...............[loads more history lesson]

Well [i]you[/i] obviously "get it" project.........so why the need to start a thread with :

[i]"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"[/i]

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?
