  • There really is no sign of this going away, is there? Be interesting to see how it all pans out over the next few weeks.

    Peter the great was on BBC saying they have to stop being naughty .The fleg was taken down following a democratic process .What a pity he didnt think off that before they handed out 40,000 leaflets and rebel roused the plebs.
    Reported in last weeks news letter Michael Copeland ( UUP ) has lost over 4 stone since October .Which he says is because off the fleg issue .From what I see he could afford to loose 4 stone ,and if it was the fleg issue in October it must have been alll the walking he was doing handing out the 40,000 leaflets with the Alliance phone number on it .

    Would now be a good time to buy a house in East Belfast.

    We could all do with that video.
    In the meantime just watch the rioters on you tube then practice the steps at home .

    I think it's the fleg manufacturers who are behind it all.
  • Maybe it's just me getting old but did anyone se that little "Kid" on acting as spokeperson for the protest organising group. I say spokesperson rather than spokeman as I highly doubt his gnads have even dropped yet. Firts thing I though was, should you not be at home doing your homework!! If this really is their spokesperson... I... I..... I..... Oh somebody needs to put him over their knee and give him a good smack and send him to bed with no TV for the next week...

    I commented on it too. Something along the lines of "who does that wee wart think he is trying to tell adults what to do". Somebody should skelp the wee shi-ite's @rse and send him home to his mammy.

    As if it wasn't bad enough having to listen to Willie Frazer. Now we have to listen to childer!

    I don't understand why social services do not take these kids away - surely the fact that any of them is out there causing trouble is very clear evidence that the parents are totally failing the children?
    Always overestimating...

    I agree but the problem is, judging by the amount of kids I've seen at the road blocks, the system wouldn't be able to cope. I've even seem mothers in the middle of it pushing prams. Tragic really.
  • I see some numpty has also been caught on camera rioting in their Translink Uniform ! Muppet !!
