Marching Season Tension in Derry

Warfare for weirdos: patreon.com/popularfront
Every year in Northern Ireland, both the Irish Republicans and the British Unionists build huge bonfires to celebrate their culture. Each side burns the other’s flag.
We went to the Bogside in #Derry to talk with a group of young lads calling themselves the Bogside Republican Youth. They spent all summer building this year’s bonfire, which caused controversy due to its links to the IRA and the recent violence in the area.
The biggest problem of the Bogside is not militancy though, it’s the poverty and complete lack of leadership. Derry has the highest rate of unemployment in Northern Ireland, more than twice the average. The city is also one of the most unemployed in the UK as a whole. The young lads of the Bogside have nothing to do and nowhere to go.
We filmed with them over two days as they set the bonfire alight.

[@mikematthews2750]

And the reason is that it’s intentional divide and rule. The decision to allow mass migration to mainland England is the same. Those of us with a deep sense of history know the reason we have massive Muslim ghettos in Bradford, Birmingham and East London is to act as a buffer between us and the state. These poor people wanting a better life end up not assimilating or integrating in sufficient numbers to get rid of their ‘other tag’. As a result they’ll always be outsiders and as their numbers grow, the tension between them and Hindus and Sikhs, or whites, will grow and then it’s Ulster 2.0. Who’s the winner? The elite who created this barrier between themselves and the rest of us. Classic divide and rule. If we’re killing each other we’re not going after them! It’s so transparent.

Twisted and longer lived the 🇬🇧 empire

Northern Ireland HD Lol it is already dead. You lost about half the world in a couple of years. Simply the worst.

[@northernirelandhd5907]

Twisted no shit, name me one empire that didn’t fall... the Romans lost there’s in a day when it split, fool you don’t seem to understand the world wars tore it apart, no empire in history has withstood that and no empire would, considering England only had 40 million people at the time it was a phenomenonly brilliant empire, being so big thus it fell so fast

Big up Derry and their people. We have been fighting the same cause in the Basque Country. It is never over, fuck the system

The basque and Northern Ireland is completely different 🇬🇧 no surrender w.a.t.p

[@jooseppielleese7156]

@@Richard-od3gc The Basque are the closest to irish and scottish dna found outside of the british isles and have their own language and culture which has been suppressed by other goverments and have their own armed paramiltary struggle. It's simlar.
