Another year of anti-PUL and Loyal Order denomination.

Again this summer was a miserable summer, weather wise it was an improvement on previous years, however on the parading, anti-Protestant, anti-Unionist, anti-Loyalist and anti-Loyal Order front it’s been another hot and irrational summer.

A case of bad timing and geography, and a shinner with a video camera showed a band playing outside a closed and empty building. The video by the Sinn Fein/provo activist, was then leapt upon by his leaders in the republican movement, a roman catholic bishop, his priest, his congregation, the newly formed concerned residents of Carrickhill, the SDLP, the ludicrous parades commission, and the ever dependable anti-Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist BBC, other print media and uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Thanks to all the above they kept this non-story running for months and raised community tensions to fever pitch.

What caused all this alleged angst, started the sky to fall in and the world coming to a premature end, a band playing outside an empty chapel. All this because one band played the Beach Boys tune Sloop John B, the alleged famine tune (it was not the famine song as they did not sing the words) outside an empty and closed chapel and empty and closed parochial house, an allegation that has yet to be proven. However what is proved is that the band did offer an apology for any misunderstanding and offence. 

The priest of the chapel was out of the country at the time and was phoned by a member of the Carrickhill residents group to be told that a band had played outside his chapel.

Before the BBC ensured the allegation was proved by contacting the band to get their view of events and a statement. They went live and reported the events on radio and then on TV later. The pompous Wendy Austin conducted her very own kangaroo court, and found not only the band guilty, but the whole Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist community along with every Loyal Order member.


The BBC thought their guilty judgment was given a hint legitimisation when senior Protestant church leaders wedded in. But after they were given the facts, their ill-informed views were revised and retracted.

To put this into context it’s not as if the band abused an altar boy or girl, but to listen to the media and republicans you would have thought that is what went on. Sexual and physical abuse within the roman catholic church on their own people, is a ten page article for another day, but in the perverted minds of  BBC NI and other media outlets, an unsubstantiated trumped up case of alleged sectarianism is manna from heaven.

This is what the republican movement, a bishop, his absent priest, his congregation the SDLP and the irrational parades commission are allegedly getting so offended about. A band playing outside an empty building and showing off their marching skills as they did so.

They are allegedly offended by a Scottish football song, telling a section of the Scottish population, who don’t see themselves as Scottish but Irish to go home to Ireland?

Here are the facts that the list above don’t want or like to digest; the potato famine wasn’t an exclusively Irish roman catholic, Irish nationalist or Irish republican event.

Many tens of thousands of Protestants both in Ireland and Scotland were affected and died as a result of the famine. However the Irish roman catholic church, Irish nationalists and Irish republicans, have made an exclusive apartheid industry out of the famine, and this event is more evidence if ever we needed it, of their ‘Most Offended People Ever’ (MOPE) title.

Protestant and Unionist famine victims also died in the streets and were forced to emigrate to escape the famine. The cemeteries on the Shankill Road and at Clifton Street where famine cemeteries as were other cemeteries around Belfast, and nearly every Protestant parish in Ireland and the west of Scotland had thousands of Protestants buried in mass graves.

At this point I would like to point out that the Irish roman catholic church, along with Irish nationalists and Irish republicans have cultivated and created an exclusive and apartheid history of the famine and created a whole industry around the famine. Never mentioning in their story and their revisionist view the fact that the famine had thousands Protestant victims and suffers???


Knowing now that the famine song is about people who don't see themselves as Scottish and that there were thousands of Protestants famine victims; then surely that makes any alleged offence taken from any alleged famine tune by Irish roman catholic’s and Irish republicans and nationalists somewhat mute???

What is not in doubt and overtly sectarian is the fact that the potato famine was used by Irish republican terrorists as a recruiting sergeant to swell the ranks of Irish republican terrorist groups.

To this day the leader of the Irish republican movement Gerry Adams is still going around the world giving a prejudiced and apartheid view of the facts of the famine. He is also trying to redefine the terms used to describe the famine, as the Irish Holocaust. Now that is offensive.

There is a famine visitor village at Doagh, County Donegal. And if you visit it you will not see any mention of the Protestant victims of the famine.

Interestingly the republicans and roman catholic sensitivities and offence on the famine does not stretch to the closed season at the famine village. During the closed season the famine village is turned into “Donegal Lapland” a commercial jolly, dance in the streets Christmas visitor attraction.

Now because of this alleged offence and the BBC’s live kangaroo court, we have had more Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist and Loyal Order vilification by the ever pious Sinn Fein/IRA republican movement, the SDLP, the Irish roman catholic church, the parades commission, local print media and middle class Protestant Unionists. And now we have another contrived contentious parade area. An area that throughout the troubles was never contentious???

You are probably wondering what has parading issues, got to do with the Protestant Unionist middle classes??? Well everything. The parades issue cannot be seen in isolation; it has to be seen as a wider campaign of a republican war on two fronts. Both wars are being waged on the Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist communities working and middle class a war on parades and education.

As a result of republican attempts to demonize the working class Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist and the Loyal Orders both nationally and internationally. The aim of republicans is to get it into the minds of middle class Protestants and Unionists, by the use of contrived contentious flash points and alleged offence. That the other part of the Protestant Unionist family is not worthy of support, people who see parades as an integral part of their culture.

Now let me spell this out the second front in the republican movement’s war, a war on education, in the guise of the 11+ and grammar schools.

The republican movement’s education ministers have removed the 11+, and have insured that it has stayed that way by taking the education portfolio at every Stormont assembly.

The republican movement see grammar education as pivotal in breaking the Protestant and Unionist middle classes. The 11+ is being portrayed as the preserve of affluent middle class Protestants and Unionists. The 11+ is the middle class Protestant and Unionist parades commission issue.

The republican movement’s education minister has threatened parents with court and used the ever willing left leaning republican media and the BBC to demonize the 11+. He has ensured that primary schools do not have time allocated in their timetable to teach and prepare children for the new transfer tests and has also threatened primary school principals with sanctions if they go outside these procedures. This from a Sinn Fein education minister who cries at every opportunity about equality and choice, what choice will Protestants and Unionists have in his Ireland of equals?

The other part of the 11+ campaign is very subtle and you may have missed it. The republican movement’s education ministers have at every opportunity demonised working class Protestant, Unionist, and Loyalist education achievement. By claiming the 11+ is elitist and stating that it disadvantages working class Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist communities. This is putting working class and middle class Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist communities in direct conflict with each other.

This is similar to the republican movement attempts at contriving or making parts of if not all of a parade continuous. They then charge in with the old chestnut of cost to the economy for the policing. This after decades of republican violence and rioting at now contrived continuous parades. The shinners/provos don’t do irony do they?

The republican movement is driving a wedge between Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist communities. The middle class Protestants and Unionists see the parades as something that does not involve them. And the working class Protestants, Unionists and Loyalists, are being told that good education and the 11+ is elitist an anathema, and not for them.

The republican movement are splitting the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist communities along class lines and they are driving a coach and horses through the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist communities, which their terrorist campaign could ever do.

What do we do? We need like 100 years ago to come together in common cause.

My final word on this is that the Protestant and Unionist middle classes, they have more to lose than the working class. Unless Protestant and Unionist middle classes wake up and start smelling the coffee and support the Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist working classes their cause is lost. They need to get out and vote and the main Unionist Parties need to become one.

United We Stand Divided We Fall.

The shinners/provos are masters at street politics and that’s why they pick on issues that they know irritate the PUL community hence the flag issue and parades. The shinners then stand back and berate the PUL community for their reaction.

This is done to keep their electorates eye off the fact that they have not delivered on any of the issues that will lead to a united Ireland. If the shinners/provos are seen to annoy the PUL community this fulfils the sectarian lust within the republican movement and their electorate, and it’s dressed up as equality.

Republicans in my view always seem to be setting the agenda, and Unionists look stupid as they are left scrambling or floundering around trying to play catch up.

With Unionists in constant reactionary mode it makes us looks weak and ineffective. Unionist politicians need to wake up and realise they are in a political war. They need to anticipate issues and think strategically and long term and put the focus on shinner ministers and their non-delivery.

Here is an example of the republican’s strategic and long term vision.

Over 25 years ago the shinners started a new phase of their anti-Protestant, Unionist; Loyalist campaign when they created alleged residents groups.

In 1997, Gerry Adams told an RTÉ journalist of the shinners/provos involvement in the now parades disputes: "Ask any activist in the north, ‘did Drumcree happen by accident?’, and he will tell you, ‘no’. Three years of work on the lower Ormeau Road, Portadown and parts of Fermanagh and Newry, Armagh and in Bellaghy and up in Derry. Three years of work went into creating that situation and fair play to those people who put the work in. They are the type of scene changes that we have to focus on and develop and exploit"!

This was the start of a campaign of vilification and demonization of the Loyal Orders ably assisted by the mass media, especially the BBC.

The Loyal Orders and Unionists did not handle the situation well and I’m sure that was anticipated by the shinners and they exploited this to the full, and still do. This was the first salvo and the start of a shinner/provo twin track campaign to divide Unionism.

The next phase was more subtle. When the shinners/provos moved into the first assembly Martin McGuinness and Sinn Fein took the education portfolio. They now moved onto the Protestant Unionist middle classes, with the second salvo in their campaign the removing of the 11+.

We need to remember that the shinners/provos have taken the education portfolio first, before all other ministries in the assembly. Our children have only ever had a shinner/provo education minister, there have been three in total in the Stormont assemblies.

The shinners/provo continuing campaign of Loyal Order and working class Unionist Loyalist demonization and vilification is designed to alienate and divide the middle class Protestant Unionist, from the working class Protestant Unionist and Loyalist.

The shinners/provos have ensured that the Loyal Orders and the working class Unionist and Loyalists are seen as irrelevant and something that must be avoided by the Protestant Unionist middle classes.

To ensure that the working class Protestant Unionists Loyalist are alienated from the middle class Protestant Unionist the shinners/provos claim that the grammar school education system is middle class and elitist. Claiming that working class Protestant Unionist Loyalist social mobility is not attainable via the middle class and elitist grammar school system. And to achieve their divide and rule, they demonize working class Protestant Unionist Loyalist education attainment.

To summarise, with republican fanaticism and zeal the shinners/provos vilify and demonize the Loyal Orders to ensure the Protestant Unionist middle class see it as irrelevant and something to be avoided. Then they demonize working class Protestant Unionist Loyalist educational attainment, and social mobility with the result that they have basically set both sides of Unionism on a course of mutual loathing. Clever stuff!!!

So over a period of 20 odd years the shinners have created a chasm between the two sections of Unionism. Resulting in low Unionist voter turnout, and republican wins by default.

What every Unionist and Loyalist needs to remember, is that the shinners see themselves as a mass movement, and have a long term strategic plan.

The Unionist people and their parties now need to step up to the plate and prove that they have the same political acumen as the republican movement in the guise of Sinn Fein/IRA and get out an vote.

The future is in our hands make your X's and 123's where it counts on a ballot paper not just now but always. As the shinners/provos say "vote early vote often". Just in case the psni are reading this that last sentence was a joke. And just for the psni officers that don't know the difference in the term sentence. A sentence is not just something that a flag protester gets on trumped up charges from the psni, a sentence is: A set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation!!! or A grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed or, as in imperative sentences, understood and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb.
