Why is it only in loyalists/ protestant areas flags are prominent especially paramilitary ones is there a sense of Siege or inferiority yes the Union flag is lawful but how sad in multi cultural UK which most loyalists are part off they are exclusive most people in Ireland and UK cannot understand unless they become working class ghettos I see nationalist areas more inclusive by imagery of less flags and bands!
@shadowmanstrolls8112 күн бұрын
Stil up from the 12th. Go round nationalist areas at Easter you'll see similar. Plenty of murals in nationalist areas, can even see them in some parts of the video, must do a video specifically on nationalist murals to emphasise this. The union flag does not go against multi culturalism Thanks for watching

Fantastic! That was quite an epic and comprehensive tour of our city's dividing walls, fences and gates....and made more entertaining by doing it on your new beast bike and with the various interactions along the way. Amusing little quip at the mural walls on Northumberland Street/Divis st. I think many of the locals must be a bit bemused and a perhaps a wee bit alienated by some of the images which seem to be especially aimed at the tourist hoardes that gather there every day.

@@shadowmanstrolls811 I think the fact that the popular night spots abandoned this side of the city once seen as the Golden mile for to do business within Cathedral Quarter. Such a shame it's turned out like the way it has, and also Great Victoria street has been left to rot and open to vandalism and graffiti in the same way North Street has been left severally neglected for over 2 decades. Seems no one cares anymore enough to revive it. Sure building Student accommodation is good but what night life have the students got this side of the city? No point building nothing but student accommodation if there's sweet FA for the students to do during the weekends apart from spending an absolute fortune on taxi fares too and from Cathedral Quarter.
