@BelfastBooks The people who post the same guff every year dont actually care its just another pearl clutching event.
Im sure the BCC workers getting the OT are happy enough.

Pattys Day Belfast has 25-40k spectating tops.
12th Belfast: 100k-170k+.
Both create litter and need big city council clear ups but photos of British Saint Day mess almost never circulated, while 12th ones are everywhere.
Media framing and selective sharing in NI at work?

@BelfastBooks The crowds are bigger because most loyalist are unemployed especially fighting age men and that's a fact that you can't argue about

@BelfastBooks One is a sectarian, anti Irish, anti Catholic, political hate fest.
St Paddys is a family fun day.

@PaulMackey73736 @BelfastBooks Lol. The O.O. pay nothing. Rate payers pay for the clean up
English
@BelfastBooks And the OO pay for the clean up after the 12th parade.

@johnmag52920871 @GaryHynds Hungry strike is what loyalists do. Stay on strike until they're hungry.

Nothing says 'enjoy your dinner' quite like a Hunger Strike memorial on the wall...🤦♂️

@UK_OK_2020 @squinteratn Impressive how you managed to squeeze your linguistic skills into that conversation. Impressive indeed. 3 languages and still learning. Maybe there's hope for you yet.

@Joemopark @squinteratn The success of the 12th proves failure? I speak English, French, German, learning Spanish and know wee bits of Italian. Learning to speak/understand unhinged republicanese is very tricky as it's generally contradictory and senseless.

In PR terms the long Twelfth weekend was a plane crashing into an orphanage for blind kids and burning down the OAPs’ home next door. Eddie the Legal and Merv hose jet fuel on the flames.
Somebody with smarts in unionism needs to step in or the game’s up.
This can’t go on.

@AlisonW37619617 Thats cos no one gives a fck about about a racist mural mate.
English
Isn't it strange but not surprising that all the usual suspects who have spent a couple of weeks mouthing about Unionists/Loyalists are deadly silent on this.
Lasair Dhearg@LasairDhearg
A racist mural erected by Unionists in Newtownabbey has been paid a visit by Lasair Dhearg activists. The anti-immigration mural, which made headlines in recent months, was paintbombed in the early hours of this morning. Racism, bigotry and sectarianism can not be tolerated 1/2

@Joemopark @DerekGordon67 Then you are a traitor if you ever supported England.
English
Wonder what the republicans would have made of NI beating England all those yrs ago. They would've been all over the place, pity X wasn't about then🤣

@Lynseytinyb I think she's goin for the insanity defence in her upcoming case.

@glenbak06698405 @Greenwytch3 So, a 'fuck the pope' sign is how they enjoy the 12th,
got ya.

@Greenwytch3 All the usual suspects hiding behind a fake account slating a woman out enjoying the parade

So who is the Planter mutt with the gut 👺
Get the tramp deported somewhere as soon as possible 🧟♀️

@UK_OK_2020 @squinteratn I loved em all, nothing proves this putrid little sectarian statelet has failed more than the 12th. March on lads.
English
@Joemopark @squinteratn Which 12th did you think was the best ever? I'd maybe go for 2025 in Keady with 29° and glorious sunshine. The Armagh True Blues were in fine tune with over 100 on parade.

@mjc0ughl4n @GarethNotGarth There’s a class of people here that would eat nothing but spuds and buttermilk if it meant they saw their Eire Nua realised.

I'd say people in Northern Ireland can't wait to pay 15-20% more on their weekly grocery shop.

@TheNotoriousMMA If you knew you were fcked why did you step into the octagon, oh wait, to get payed. If it's no contest, return your purse.
You're a racist, rapist, zionist twat. Despised in Ireland.

@annmcelhinney England invaded Ireland, carried out unimaginable massacres for 100's of years. England still holds Irish territory. Oh and the famine.

In a pub in ireland, Argentina score, the place goes ballistic, explain it to me like I’m a child, I think it’s embarrassing and childish.

We weren’t raised. We were released into the neighborhood with a bike, a questionable helmet, and a “be home before dark.
Tell me I’m wrong 😂
