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.
@@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?
@@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.
Would the leadership not be better marching these young men up and down for a better way of life on Sandy Row instead of filling them full of absoulute hatred, some idiot standing with a kilt on talking pure and utter ballix , your becoming a bigger embarrassment than you already realise
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 🇬🇧

Exactly! Stuck in the past! I believe 1690 is the year that they can't get past
*As an ex soldier ur just paddys to us in England* 😆
❤ ulster for Rangers. Allway.
best wishes from London
Just be careful going back to sandyrow,the bridge has gone 😂
Sheer people power 😂
What nice music, and what a classy way to protest!
I can't see why England doesn't have flute bands.
@@Cicero1689it does I have videos on my channel. Liverpool, Scarborough, etc
@@Ourjudd Those bands are from either Liverpool or Scotland sadly.
@ true but Liverpool is still England regardless of what some scousers might say though.
Lots of kids trying to be a band so funny 😂
Good lads🇬🇧🏴 but it has to be said the base drummer needs more lessons.
That Bass drummer seems to have timing issues. Just an observation
Headers 🙄
@@KC-wi4gh They all have timing issues. It’s 2024 and they’re stuck in 1690.
Ireland will be united again
@@Edmund12348 it never was in the first place
@@Cicero1689 Yes it was, and it will be again
@@Edmund12348 what year was it united

GROW UP 🇮🇪
Exactly! Bunch of orange cry babies!
Would be easier to put the Flag back up insteas of the weekly protest but then we are not called Protestants for nothin 🤣🇬🇧👍
I think I know the lady in the red coat. Yes I do and her husband who came up to the front
In my day there would have been hundreds of teenagers marching behind ..🇬🇧
Loyalism is dying.
There isn't that many in the area

Their excuse for the predictably poor turnout was that “some of the boys have a football match” 😂
Don't give us an inch because we will take a mile but anyway thanks for the inch
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not a big turnout
Loyalism dying out essentially

Interesting, was this from wikipedia?
The part I find even crazier is that the Pope at the time supported King Billy against the Jacobites at the Boyne, Aughrim, etc

@ common enemies create strange allies, like Truman, Churchill, and Stalin.
Now they are in the majority, run the council and Unionists/loyalist are crying fowl. Time for a United Ireland.
The most pathetic thing i Have ever seen
So funny 😅
Mouth breathers have rights too.
