FFS.... Will the troubles up there ever really end ? I feel very sorry for the hundreds of thousands of decent people who live in N.I. and have to put up with this sh1t, it's not something anyone should have to put up with imho regardless of their religious or politican beliefs.
Sadly, it`s just par for the course up here around this time of year I just heard that today is officially the first day of summer, so the numbskulls are bang on cue and it`s looking like we`re in for another "long,hot" one (a phrase that seems to get used EVERY bloody year here!) It`s sad to think that some people just don`t know (or don`t want to know) anything else....Despair is a word that springs to mind about this place
Few weeks before the 12th July aswell, I reckon its going kick off more than ever this year. I have lost count of how many bomb scares there has been in Strabane since the Policeman got killed up in Omagh.
meh, same every year. Can't see it changin however much we hope. If it aint one side it's the other etc etc *hides Celtic & Ireland tops in cupboard for few months for safety*
Its only a warm up for the Marches in a few weeks i fear.Things will seriously get heated when these take place over the next few weeks. Every decent person up there doesnt want this to start up again.Its only a small minority of clowns causing all this trouble.Its a shame as some many innocent peoplpe are going to get caught up in this.

EamonnMallie Eamonn Mallie There is a strong police presence in E/Belfast where atmosphere is tense. Large crowds on Newtownards Rd. and in Nationalist Bryson Street. 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply
Journo shot & injured, apparently some looper just start shooting randomly at the media. PSNI are said to be using baton rounds, but against which side? 20 year old woman arrested for possessing an offensive weapon & assault. Nuts!
both sides I'd say. It's time for a lot of people up there on both sides to grow the fcuk up and get on with their lives. The North takes one step forward then takes a gian leap backwards.
The trouble is only happening in a small corner of belfast.They should get those little thugs and make a example of one.If a third night of trouble happens, it will spell big trouble. Some Community leaders and Polticial leaders need to step in here, and try calm this situation down.Its only a small minority who are trying to cause this unrest.
