Ulster First F.B. Parading from Sandy Row to Belfast City Hall Gates.

*As an ex soldier ur just paddys to us in England* 😆

[@Byron5369-k8p]

Oh dear this was embarrassing to watch. About 15 loyalists stuck in the past marching to city hall against a backdrop of confused Christmas shoppers. All topped off with an incoherent speech from a man in a kilt with dribble on his chin. Times really have changed. The death of Loyalism in full display.

Exactly! Stuck in the past! I believe 1690 is the year that they can't get past

[@Edmund12348]

@@Cicero1689 Seems like a bit of a trick question haha, in the modern sense, it was never was, you're correct there. But even during medieval times, the country had it's own language, traditions and unity under "Éire" even if there was war between clans - that's what I mean. Although I speak Irish daily, going back to our language is something I don't foresee ever happening, but the island of Ireland uniting as one country, I believe will happen one day. What do you think?

[@Cicero1689]

@@Edmund12348 Well I actually disagree, I think Gaeilge will return, and prosper although probably not fully in your lifetime, I sincerely hope it does, although, I can't see Ireland formally uniting and annexing NI into the Republic, we are vasty different pollitically and religiously, I don't think culture is anything to do with it, I think a catholic can freely play lambeg drum, as much as a protestant can speak Irish daily, these things aren't polar opposites, however pollitics certainly is, I do hope both denominations can live in peace, but no impose or infringe on one another.

The most pathetic thing i Have ever seen

[@billbo2117]

In the census of 1782, 365 Catholics were recorded as living in Belfast. Following a collection from the local Church of Ireland and Presbyterian congregations, funds were donated to the building of St. Mary's Church. The first Mass was celebrated on 30 May 1784 a Sunday by Father Hugh O’Donnell, the first Parish Priest of Belfast. In the opening ceremony, a company of the Irish Volunteers, (Protestants), led by Waddell Cunningham, lined the chapel yard and escorted Father O'Donnell into the building. In 1813, the church's pulpit was donated by the Anglican Vicar of Belfast, Canon Turner, continuing the positive relationship between the Roman Catholic church and the local Protestant congregations. To think it was the ancestors of these people of Belfast Presbyterians and Church of Ireland that helped raise the funds to build the first Roman Catholic Church (St.Marys) in Belfast for just a few hundred Catholics that lived in the west of the Town. Just saying .... WATP 🇬🇧

Interesting, was this from wikipedia?

[@marshmallowblaster]

The part I find even crazier is that the Pope at the time supported King Billy against the Jacobites at the Boyne, Aughrim, etc
