That is a mural painted by Sinn Fein IRA in the Falls Road area of Belfast in support of the Communist dogs.

The above scots/irish unionist culture is ignored outside of the uk, ignored in england itself. not something deemed of cultural 'worth', not something brought up in polite conversation (much like thatcher herself now)

Why?

(put it on the old board and cut and pasted over here)

ie, is it really as formalist or dry as people want to paint it. or do we just pretend it doesn't exist?

Is it? Apart from the States? Did we produce more emigrants down South, or did the ones from the North be more likely to be Catholic?

It's hard to distance myself from my upbringing, but I'd imagine one of the big factors is that it's hard to empathise with the occupiers rather than the occupied, and after all this time, that's still how they're seen (for reasons including everything in your first post).

Sorry but the IRA had the right idea with the balaclavas.

No one on this board has an interest in loyalist/unionist culture? ...at all? Or, ok, on a wider scale, scots-irish presbyterian culture? Or how on a global scale it is culturally ignored in favour of republican/hibernian aesthetic?

"Put an Irishman on the spit and you can always get another Irishman to turn him." - George BernardShaw

Is Bushmills associated sectarianly?

there apparently is some american idea that it is, i think it was on the whisky thread

Supporting Rangers, innit?

ah now here

rangers has been around for probably over a hundred years, haven't they found anything else to do in that time?

bowler hats, orange sashes, obstinacy, red cheeks, good farmland, whistle and drums, guilds, trades, masonry, i dunno what else i'm ignorant enough tbh

In August 2003 Rangers launched its 'Pride Over Prejudice' campaign to promote social inclusion, which has urged fans to wear only traditional Rangers colours and avoid offensive songs, banners and salutes. This involved publishing the 'Blue Guide', known as the "Wee Blue Book", which contained a list of acceptable songs and was issued to 50,000 supporters in August 2007.

that must be a very wee book indeed

has anybody ever heard ulster-scots or w/e?

He dead yet?

paisley cardiaced last week

still in hospital

ta been outta loop

Sunderland have banned winger James McClean from Twitter after another sectarian row on the social networking site.

The move to delete his account is understood to have been made on club advice, and after a brief but frank meeting with manager Martin O'Neill on Monday.

It comes after the Republic of Ireland star professed his love for song The Broad Black Brimmer by The Wolfe Tones prior to Sunderland’s game against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

Wite ppl in clanger

hehe theres a scottish celtic band called Wolfstone who always get mixed up with Wolfe Tones. I had a friend into them and I swear everytime he mentioned them he always said, no matter who he was talking to "not the wolfe tones".

Paul McKenzie , 90s 'star' for Accies was apparently called wolfie for his love of the wolfe tones.

Never heard a note of either fwiw

terrifying visions of rampaging loyalists, bowler hats exchanged for fedoras, chanting 'ho, surrender to the mra'

too late for Kubrick but a chilling vision

presbyterianism is fascinating I want to know more, the glut of steads around a manse and everything without to be set again net, the monstrous underchins of the patriarchs at their wreaking, the solidity of the mistrust, a world built on having landed and clinging on no matter the protest and violence from the very environment itself.

I'm not rly one to take fancies but a wrong turn up there has put the genuine fuckin shits up me more than once, even with the elder brother with me, and he's essentially a malevolent bowling ball with branches. the clusters loom out at you ime.

I used to work in a theatre in Glasgow and back in the 90s we put on a gig by Wolfstone as part of a folk festival. Bomb threat was phoned in shortly before they were about to take the stage. Police finally show up cursing that this happens every time they play (thinking it was the 'tones, not the 'stone).

lol
