The Protestant State for a Protestant People has had its day.
The relentless march of history is going to squash it under its heel.
Sit back and enjoy the show!
It is somehow quite fitting that the flag of a nation joked about the world over for its lack of intellectual nous should be spray painted on the back of one of the thickest animals to be found on a farm.

Andy, don't want to take away from your precious time;
"Victor Arbuckle (aged 29), a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), was shot dead by Loyalists during street disturbances on the Shankill Road in Belfast. [Arbuckle was the first member of the RUC to be killed in 'the Troubles'.] Two Protestant civilians were shot dead by the British Army during rioting."
"Mildred Harrison (26) Protestant Status: Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), Killed by: Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) Killed during bomb explosion while on Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) foot patrol passing Ormeau Arms Bar, High Street, Bangor, County Down."
"7 May 1966 The UVF carried out a petrol bomb attack on a Catholic owned bar and off-licence in Upper Charleville Street in the Shankill Road area of Belfast. The attackers missed their intended target and set fire to the home of Matilda Gould (77), a Protestant civilian, who lived next door to the public house. Gould was severely injured in the attack and died on 27 June 1966 as a resulted of her injuries."
"9 year-old Patrick Rooney was shot-dead by the RUC in August 1969. Patrick was shot as his father Cornelius attempted to carry him from his bedroom to the family living room for safety during disturbances when a RUC/loyalist led mob attacked the lower Falls area in Belfast. Patrick Rooney was the first child to be killed in the Troubles."
Perhaps CAIN doesn't regard 1966 as part of 'The Troubles'? If it did, it might have to go back another few years and include The IRA's border campaign and the murders committed by Republicans then...
Someone must find some more creative outlet for Ógra Sinn Féin.
ReplyDeleteYour girlfriend horseman?
ReplyDeleteThis needs to stop. Probably some bored youths. It is funny though.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about the photo or the blog?
ReplyDeleteThe attackers were caught doing the act on camera. It is even up an EweTube.
ReplyDeleteMAYBE THE SHEEP IS ANDY-HE IS PROBABLY DYING TO SAY HE LOVES IRELAND AND ALL THINGS IRELAND BUT JUST DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT SO.....
ReplyDeleteDid you hear the man on the news bleating about "intimidation"?
ReplyDeleteIn fact the Irish flag is a good way of keeping unionist sheep shaggers at bay.
You can put the velcro gloves on ebay now Andy.
Another first for Ireland.
ReplyDeleteIrish brogue is the world's sexiest accent:

Demographers Puzzled by Latest Pattern
ReplyDelete> lack of intellectual nous
ReplyDeleteThis is the slur of an ignorant bigot, and evidently an untravelled one who imagines that the world shares his bigotry. It doesn't.
Refer yourself to the post on education on this blog and you'll find that the Irish are in fact the best educated workforce in Europe.
The sheep is simply a living reminder that the land on which it lives is Irish land.
N.I. farmers were DELIGHTED to sell their beef in the EU as Irish beef once British beef was banned.
'This is the slur of an ignorant bigot, and evidently an untravelled one who imagines that the world shares his bigotry.'
ReplyDeleteThey can give but evidently cannot take.

ReplyDeleteMove on- forgive and look to a democratic future thats not orange!
MPG .....
Forgiveness generally follows an apology. Can I take it that's what your offering on behalf of 'da Oirish'?
ReplyDeleteWho do you think should have apologised in S.Africa? The oppressed or the oppressors?
ReplyDeleteGiven that your "da Oirish" equates with "the niggers" (that is your intent and do not deny your contemptible racism) you can spare us your answer.
It will be of as much historical significance as that of the most dyspeptic Boer supremacist.
You are on the wrong side of history. It's not your fault, but if you're expecting the victims to apologise to you you'll be waiting.
I see CAIN claims George Seawright was a political activist does not mention his UVF membership.
ReplyDeleteCAIN also does not mention Peter Ward and John Scullion or Matilda Gould all killed in 1966.
ReplyDeletePerhaps CAIN doesn't regard 1966 as part of 'The Troubles'? If it did, it might have to go back another few years and include The IRA's border campaign and the murders committed by Republicans then...
ReplyDeleteAs for Seawright, there's a few Provos listed as civilians on CAIN later claimed by PIRA as their members...
ReplyDeleteThat must be why Gusty Spence announced the Loyalist ceasefires the 1966 killings he was involved in having nothing to do with the Troubles.
ReplyDeleteSpence was involved in The UVF long after that (mostly in jail).
ReplyDeletemuppet. Ignorant as well as historically hilarious. read a book or two
ReplyDeleteCare to clarify those pointless comments Mr GoldCoast?
