Ballymena

[HKOwen]

...is a lovely town.

I have no thought about it much since my last visit af few years ago. To see it now, with various ethnioc areas where Irish women and girls cannot walk safely is heartbreaking.

Of course, much of the rest of UK has been so for years.

I don't know what the fuss is all about it's just been 3 nights of peaceful protests....

But in all seriousness it seems to have gone very ott when people are putting up stickers of their nationality on windows and doors.

Ulster Scots protecting their women folk.

In order for Evil to prevail, you only need the good men to fail to do their duty......... Edmund Burke said something along those lines.

We now have anger, drama, politicians throwing mud and blame. But i bet ya one thing......Ballymena's future will not be tainted by Grooming gangs & other casual attitudes to sexual violence.

I think you mean protestants.......

I think you mean protestants.......

on the ground reporting is that there is no sectarian divide in these troubles, all united against the erosion of their community

 

[georgenorman]

The sexual assault charges have been the spark for the disturbances, but many other events would cause similar reactions because the underlying cause is the inevitable failure of multi-culturalism. Throughout the world, differences in race, language, religion and culture are at the root of most conflicts.

Sad but spot on.

I'm hardly going to carry out a survey.

I'm hardly going to carry out a survey.

Christians in Ballymena about 85% and of those 75% / 25% Protestant / Catholic split as far I can see with some quick googling

Christians don't tend to riot, unfortunately they tend to bend over and take it....literally if some of the rainbow churches are an example. I doubt this is about religion.

I suspect it's far more to do with the ethnicity of the girls and the fact that their attackers are foreigners.

Essentially what we see here is what the ‘Replacement Migration Policies’ so beloved of that twisted meeting of minds of both the globalist banking super-rich and the far left eventually results in.

When you continually lower social cohesion, you create tinder boxes.

It's hardly rocket science.....buy hey, all they have to do is move to Cornwall apparently.

People not calling for the army to be sent in? Maybe Trump can spare some National Guard.

People sticking the Union Jack on their front door to prevent being attacked certainly suggests there is.

The reporting I've seen very much suggests this is a Loyalist movement.

There are Catholics involved and supporting but yeah, mostly loyalist.

The flag in the door thing was terrible, I have seen only one verified case of a Filipino family.

That sort of thing reminds me of Nell Gwyn. When the coach she was in was in danger of being attacked by a mob shouting 'Catholic whore", she said: "Pray good people be civil, I am the Protestant whore” (rather than one of Charles II's other mistresses, the Catholic Duchess of Portsmouth).

 

[eaglesdare]

The protests shouldn't take away from the fact that a girl was sexually assaulted and the two suspects are in court being charged with rape.

 

[ASCPFC]

I posted about the cause of the riots - it wasn't the sexual assault as such. People were angry, but willing to let justice take its course. It was when the offenders, who everyone knows, pretended they don't speak any English. That was the final straw.

the same flag has many names. Normally called The Union Flag. It only becomes 'the Union Jack' when hoisted above a ship. And on the Nationalist Catholic Falls road it is called 'the Butcher's Apron'.

So, unless the front door was that of a ship, its a misnomer.

Ballymena is 75% a Loyalist town. The groups being targeted are neither british nor irish, not catholic nor protestant. Allegations of rape gangs and all of that.
