IRA Parade Liverpool - 21/07/2012.

IRA parade disrupted by loyalists in Liverpool.

[@IbroxSam]

Here prick read this - In August 1971, many Protestants fled their homes as the IRA launched a bitter sectarian attack on Protestant communities throughout Belfast. The loyal people of Liverpool held out the hand of friendship in our hour of need. Up to 2000 terrified woman and children escaped from burning homes to live in the safety of Liverpool. That act of friendship by the people of Liverpool will never be forgotten. Liverpool - Belfast, a bond never broken. No Surrender."

[@wamblecropt7506]

"I.R.A. Off our streets"? I heard about two scouse accents.

[@EdgeMan]

Why was there an IRA parade in Liverpool?

[@rordor1]

what territory was it before 1921 Edward

[@johnconnor6221]

all I can hear is Scottish accents

[@IrishWelshCelt]

How does concentrating their efforts on socttish parliament mean that they're linked to both sinn fein and the ira like you said? Surely it would distance them from SF and the IRA as theyve no interest in scotland and the uk as a whole. As you've said an phoblacht is a republician news organisation and cairde na héireann are indeed a republician organisation so besides that what is the link? I mean are you saying every republician supports both sinn fein and the ira?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Any chance of re-writing this in English please.....no understandy.

[@johntaylor5605]

And with a very small population, you will be swamped. You watch, next thing the Irish will have an Irish Defence League ..... LOL

[@johntaylor5605]

I'm pro Sharia for the Irish. Muslims in the Rep of Ireland have my full support. With a tiny population like the Rep of Ireland has, you're going to be swamped pretty quickly.

***** Why does some prick who despises the British insist on writing in English. Now if Britain is as bad as you say it is, why the fuck are we polluted by 100,000's of Irishmen & women.

[@MrMikflaherty]

just out of interest , do you do this for the chinese new year and Caribbean community celebrations ?....and who exactly do you think your defending the city from ?....its 2013, time to grow up ?

[@RedHandLad]

What areas are Catholic ?

[@TheTaighmcnulty]

Good to see the Irish community of Liverpool on display - the Lodge have been far too prominent over the years - Liverpool is over 50% Catholic mainly from Irish descent !!

[@TommyBahama84]

Dream on

[@colhughes3892]

Thats not true..... census demographic data tells us that liverpool is 42% rc and 38% is protestant

[@SnakeFist150]

Look at how much loyalists exaggerate hahaha, a parade about Irish scousers uniting against facism, with teenagers, woman and men marching are now "IRA" hahahahahaha, loyalism is in a downward spiral thank fuck!

[@windsorblue8407]

You're not up to speed yet Ronan boy, the band Liverpool Irish Patriots & the James Larkin Society are affiliated to Cairde na hEireann, who are the mouthpieces of Sinn Fein / IRA on the British Mainland. They've hi-jacked Jim Larkin's good name, knowing full well that the man himself would have had nothing to do with this if he was alive today.

[@SnakeFist150]

Windsor Blue Children, women, and men marching with a banner saying "unite against facism". That is all I have to say. And Sinn Fein is the biggest and wealthiest party in Northern Ireland.. They have nothing to do with the nutters planting bombs nowadays

[@windsorblue8407]

Sinn Fein / IRA two cheeks of the same arse.

[@SnakeFist150]

Windsor Blue That's just your backward backwashed opinion lad

[@windsorblue8407]

Ronan bhoy No that's the truth only you're so deluded you can't see it.

[@JohnIsAngryAgain]

I respect the IRA because they had the balls to get themselves some guns, even though the government banned all of em, I respect any man that arms himself with a gun in this country and stands up for what he believes in

[@windsorblue8407]

Do you respect the widows & widowers grieving for loved ones or little kids that have been made orphans by those scum, who got themselves guns, do you respect the small business man who's shop got robbed by those scum that got themselves guns.

[@JohnIsAngryAgain]

I respect any man with balls that choses to go against government tyrant laws and arm himself, not ideally for crime, just any man that says fuck that and arms himself regardless of what his country says, and say what the fuck you want but the IRA had a point, it's their land, it's ireland, I fully understand their anger, it was a 2 way war

[@windsorblue8407]

JohnIsAngryAgain See this man with balls that choses to go against Government tyrant laws and arm himself, how does that effect the Government when he murders innocent men women & children . And as for your two way war, you'd better tell that to the republican scum, who gurn like fuck to the Court of Human Rights when the British Army took them out.

'Give Ireland back to the Irish' Liverpools finest. One of Paul McCartneys best songs, banned by the English post Bloody Sunday.

[@marleyboro]

To all the English people a question. Do you find this offensive? I see no difference to this and any orange march in Ireland, think about that for a while.

[@karr1111]

This is a very good video. My advice is this if you want the IRA to stop marching in your streets just give the Irish back northern Ireland. Watch how the IRA will go back where they came from.

[@billybritain7965]

And my advice to you is go and stick a wet finger into a socket. Northern Ireland is an integral part of Great British, her citizens didn't suffered for decades from republican violence to be sold off to a bankrupt foreign state.

[@karr1111]

Don' be mad at me I am just saying what I think will make the IRA stop protesting in your street.

[@billybritain7965]

You're just another delude republican sympathising plastic paddy, Do you think Al Qaeda supporters should be allowed to parade through NY on St Paddy's day?.

[@karr1111]

No

[@billybritain7965]

You're just another hypocritical Yank aren't you .Answer me this do you think the people of Northern Ireland, whose family history stretches back hundreds of years have a right to live and work peacefully throughout Ulster without fear and intimidation from Irish Republican aggressors. Do you think it would be acceptable if Native Americans carried out a genocidal campaign against those whose families arrived on American shores all those years ago and made America what it is today.

[@silveraliplain]

Well done to the loyalists!!

[@stephenowens354]

No Name/Face how many members of orange order are convicted terrorists read liverpool echo wanker

[@onthelash2012]

So its only in Ireland where they are slow learners? Tell me something I didn't know.

[@cous1967]

and you have the figures to back that up do you?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Are they the same as Hibernians?

[@athenry04]

How is that an IRA parade?

[@teddyb3857]

That was not an I.R.A. march. Some of the specimens on the so-called "loyalist" side were something to behold, the guy with 10 bellies hardly able to balance his own body weight was hilarious:)

[@zoeylovesdappyy2184]

what's IRA??

Did you read the qualifier? Do you even know what one is? Are you fluent?

Liverpool Manager Is Irish?

[@IbroxSam]

None to my knowledge. Are you thinking of joining?

[@kenny82ish]

Shall we debate this?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

The people of Liverpool didn't vote him in, Anderson was directly voted in as Mayor, So once again you're making comments that you clearly know nothing about.

[@HEED1916]

Born in Donegal to an Irish Father and a Scottish Mother. I actually have Presbyterian relatives who have rejected Orange Order fascism and have relatives who were high up in Rangers until 25 years ago. I'm glad that you have confirmed that the British ruling castes sold Irish slaves. They done that with the Scots too. A modern manifestation of this is Scottish Loyalism. Portadown - so what happened there? I presume I am speaking to an Englishman that thinks the Bloody Sunday 14 were guilty?

[@MrFCOS]

Just wondering, do you mean its terrorism for Irish to try to remove the UK from Ireland?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

When do the schools go back,

[@ConorOdonogh]

Doesn’t really look like an ira parade

[@IbroxSam]

Were you?

Isn't the ROI united now?

[@barryoshea7091]

ever hear of aodh o neill and the high kings?

[@rangers5445]

so we can win it again?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Are you forgetting that it was Irish settlers who originally invaded Scotland and give it it's name Scoti, it was their descendants who then returned back to the home of their forefathers so effectively it was their country in the first place, Irony

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Why don't you contact the band personally and ask when they're next out. admin @ liverpoolirishpatriots. org

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Major genetic surveys of Ireland and Britain have established that the gene pool of both islands is amongst the least diluted in Europe. The genetic evidence shows that three quarters of the ancestors of the Irish and British people were the pioneering settlers who arrived at the end of the last ice age between 17,000 and 8,000 years ago. The inescapable upshot of this is that the Irish are not Celts, any more than the English are Anglo-Saxons.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

You're wrong again,while it's thought that some of the original founders might have had Scottish presbyterian heritage there's no evidence to suggest were Ulster-Scots.

[@pammyoneto]

What are you talking about? I don`t do `sides` . Again you are using veiled threats. Involved with what exactly?

[@papadoc711]

These people have absolutely no affiliation whatsoever with the IRA except for commemorating an event.

[@teddyb3857]

There were a number of banners from "Unite Against Facism", "Halton Union" and "Liverpool Irish Republican Flute Band". It was supported by a number of different organisations which was evident by the different banners in the procession. Don't equate everything in Irish Nationalism/aspiration or culture with the I.R.A. On second viewing of this I notice that a substantial number of "loyalist" specimens are grossly overweight. This may add to their feelings of social isolation & xenophobia.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Who said anything about taunting, ??

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

What do you think.

[@andydunnchops]

this has nothing to do with the IRA it is about a proud son of Liverpool who fought to protect his brothers through trade unionism at the turn of the century you bigots

[@MrFranklintree]

Did you watch the video where the guy is stacking sticks in the woods?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Any chance you could re-write this in the Queen's English, no understandy hombre. lol

[@RedHandLad]

are you 10 ?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

You sure about that, check back your previous posts,

[@onthelash2012]

I personally don't understand why so many people are wasting their time with you. If you are genuinely an Irish person from Dublin, you should ask yourself why was there collusion in the Dublin bombings which killed 26 innocent people including 3 babies. Also will you condemn it?

[@bighands69]

To try and claim that this march was an IRA march is at best dishonest. There maybe people involved in the March that are showing certain affiliations but that in no way means that the march as a whole is an IRA march. You need to take different approaches to this if you have issues to it rather than showing up with a Belfast mentality to a different city.

[@RedHandLad]

Nice one mate , good to hear from decent Irish folk.

[@IbroxSam]

Lack of grammar do explain ? As for Larkin, he was from Liverpool he wasn't Irish , schoolboy error. Now can you explain why the need for a Sinn Fein/IRA band.

[@22grena]

It wasn't an IRA parade

[@hberianhail3864]

okay im asking now why are you a loyalist ? answer please and use some logic if you can

[@joeysheehan]

It was Garngad telling Irish Americans not to comment on this video! Or hadn't you noticed that?

[@onthelash2012]

The Loyalists killed more Catholics than the Republicans. Not only that the Loyalists killed more civilians in NI during the Troubles than the Republicans. You really need to research this stuff. Kind of embarassing to be making such huge errors. Oh yeah, you have yet to condemn the slaughter of 26 innocent shoppers (including 3 babies) in a Loyalist bombing in Dublin which I mentioned to you. That is kind of strange for a so called Irishman who has Dublin as his location....

[@onthelash2012]

Perhaps, but nowhere near the level of the British. Thats a fact. 34 people were killed in the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, collusion in such an atrocity is beyond sickening. The UDR a British Army unit was full of Loyalist Paramilitaries. Even one of the Shankill Butchers was in the UDR.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

No idea who Niall of nine hostages is, why would I. ?

[@mark1979able]

that was not a ira parade

[@Jungleloyalscouse]

Liverpool don't need instructions from Belfast whatever your trying to say. This is Liverpool and we don't need glorifying terrorist's on our streets. They just use the good name of James Larkin and I am being Honest.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

You're obviously not too clued up, in 1991 the CLMC issued an an apology for the innocent victims of loyalist violence. Maybe Sinn Fein will issue the McConville's or the McCartney's an apology too.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Quite simple I'm loyal to my Queen Crown & Country.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

[@jrceltic9500]

I'm pretty sure that that's not a IRA parade

[@hberianhail3864]

okay but you do relies that the ibernians are celts right there probably the first celts

[@merseydave1]

That was NOT a IRA Parade, It was a James Larkin celebration march, as he was a SCOUSER born in TOXTETH, with IRISH routes. This man was a working class person who represented ordinary people (Protestant & Catholic) A Trade Unionist who represented common people being downtrodden in terrible working conditions. He mobilized working class people for better working conditions in Ireland and Great Briton every protestant or catholic should be proud he cared for working class people fact

[@daveyboy900]

What i meant to say was (sorry sleep deprived) was that if another country tried to invade Britain, i imagine Britain would do anything and everything in their power to prevent that from happening. That is simply what the IRA are trying to do, its a cultural thing.

[@gerrymac651]

The Brits would not have lost anybody if they had stayed at home in Britland.

[@bighands69]

You are trying to include everything in northern Ireland sectarianism. Liverpool and England does not want this sectarianism. The James Larkin society is a trade unionist event if you have issues with that then say so or if you have issues with some of the content then say so. But to show up and events and assume that it is Belfast is very ignorant and is stepping over the line.

[@Jungleloyalscouse]

Are you out on Day Release. You Nutter.

[@22grena]

Why don't you use the language the irish gave you

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

What makes you think Loyalists on here would take offence of my statement saying I'm no lover of Thatcher? lets be honest you know nothing or next to nothing about Loyalists or Loyalism. Other than watching a few videos on youtube, what makes you an expert on how the British people feel about Thatcher or Sands ?.When was the last time you were in the UK?.

[@jrceltic9500]

Thats not an IRA parade

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

That was the last time Ireland was truly united?

[@IbroxSam]

Still waiting on an answer, can you hurray up, I'm out of here at 6pm.

[@pammyoneto]

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

If what you are saying is true, then can you explain why the oppressed Irish Republicans claim British brutality at every opportunity. Now for many decades you've tried and failed to remove the British from their homeland, what makes you think you're going to succeed any time soon. And can you also explain why you think Ireland would be in a position to ''free Scotland'' incase you aren't aware all the polls are suggesting that the Nats have very little to no chance of gaining independence.

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Firstly the only Orange march in Ireland is in Donegal and they get a warm reception from the local, now I suspect you really meant Northern Ireland but you've forgotten that its a separate country from Ireland and one of 4 countries within the UK. Secondly the Loyal Orders don't march in support of terrorism or terrorists they march in support of civil and religious liberties for all, something that those who support terrorists can't claim maybe you should think about that.

[@daveyboy900]

"Should not be allowed to parade on British soil." The fact that Britain have had their claws on Irish soil for centuries now? lol. "If they hate the British what are they doing there?" Need i explain that irony? Some Irish hate the British, some don't. I, personally don't give a fuck. I merely saw the irony from a historical perspective.

[@HEED1916]

What actually are his "touting activities" then?

[@daveyboy900]

Ok, i have clearly offended you. I'm Irish and extremely proud to be. You're obviously proud of your heritage too, and I'm fine with that. I don't know where this hatred of Ireland comes from. But if you were actually in Ireland during the troubles, you would understand. The British soldiers came to Ireland to "defend the catholic populace from protestant attacks". Instead, bloody sunday happened. Ireland has a LOT of reasons to hate England, as I'm sure England does too -

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Once again we have an original post .... not.

[@HEED1916]

Are you not a tout? I thought you would have a political motivation to tell plod all. This explains why Anti-Scottish Loyalists were to be found at the Grassmarket in Edinburgh hiding behind plod while meekly shouting at the James Connolly March................

[@barryoshea7091]

im irish speaking? gaelic more or less. which came south from spain and moved north to ulster and imigrated the higlands which gave scotland the gaelic language.. bagpipes and kilts are higlanders.. guinness was invented in ireland.. thats still irish and the music played by the irish and scotish(higlanders) is celtic which came from europe.. all the english were saxons and vikings.. what part of british is any of that?

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Thought you said earlier it was between France & Spain, make your mind up lol

[@pammyoneto]

This is a FUCKING DISGRACE that our Police in Liverpool are being used in this manner. I am totally and utterly disgusted that the Police are here protecting the right of the IRA to march through the streets of Liverpool. In fact the Police appear to be part of the marching crowd. What an abuse of tax payers money!!! The IRA who blew up Lord Mountbatten and our Police are protecting their right to march???

[@FuddleboardKnowBJK]

Merry Christmas bro. NS

[@ShakesMcNails]

How do you know it was without permission? The march seemed to be about anti-fascism rather than to promote any pro-Republican agenda. there were kids on the march being growled at by grown me who, frankly, should know better.

[@IrishWelshCelt]

You want a republician that didnt support the IRA campaign? Try John Hume and basically the whole SDLP party who were the largest nationalist party in the north for the duration of the troubles. That alone showed that the majority of nationalists didnt support an armed campaign.

[@baguhmeister]

the ira?

[@IbroxSam]

Serious question for you, since you gained independence what has your country ever achieved & what exactly has done for the world apart from mass emigration, what stopped you from being self reliant, why do you constantly blame England/Britain for your countries failings?.

[@cosmictimes]

And if you want to wind them up even more, remind them that it was a Brit called Tim Berners-Lee who invented this whole internet thing in the late 80's, early 90's anyway.
