Another way of looking at it is their complete distrust of the way the Irish Republic was run from a political point of view - looking at the way Dublin Castle treat the people n 2023 , who've voted them in, I can understand them!
It's amazing to see how desolate the Shankill Road was then. Of course, it was at the height of the Troubles and Lenny Murphy and his cronies were roaming around the local shebeens and the Windsor Bar and Brown Bear. Today the Shankill Road is a much more vibrant and colourful place. But old ghosts still roam the Shankill and not all the bad boys are gone away. But still it's good to see tourists there in what was the famed Loyalist heartland 🇬🇧🔥🌻
Was in the Shankill road in 2017, it was absolute tip. It made the falls road look nice. Little kids were throwing stones at a former British army man as he stood by plaque marking the spot where 9 people had been killed by an IRA bomb placed in a fishmongers shop, he was explain to a group of tourist what had happened in this spot and little kids no older than 12 were throwing stones at him and the tourists. Very hostile and unfriendly atmosphere compared to the falls road I must say
What a load of rubbish say kids throwing stones and saying the shankill is unfriendly to tourists ,. I wouldn't go near the falls as they are living in the past as with their bigot views
The comments on this thread explain perfectly why Ireland had decades and even centuries of horrific sectarian violence. You can’t fking change the past- Irish Loyalists are part of the island of Ireland; they’re part of the Irish Story now, not the British Story. Britain isn’t interested. They’ve a right to be here. Mocking them and wishing them ill is an idiot’s game; these people are part of our country. They’re not leaving and neither should they. Ireland is their home too. Jesus, they’re even honoured in our flag. As even Ian Paisley once said “I’m an Ulsterman, but to be an Ulsterman you first need to be an Irishman”.
Not sure what kind of comments you were expecting. Loyalists hate all things Irish so why would we recognise them as part of our country? Yes they live on the island of Ireland, but that is where it ends. These people burn our flag every 11th July. They want to be British- well then let them. We do not want those bigots associated with our country. Loyalists murdered innocent people in Monaghan, Dublin, Cavan, et al - they are terrorists, nothing more and nothing less.
Wow, no one had a thing to say? I always heard of Shankill Rd, but I have never been there and had no idea it was that desolate. You would think they would wake up and realize it's The Crown that did that to them.
✌️🙏🍻✊✊💚☘️let's pray lol but these evil people have a stronghold there. look at their bonfires and orange( free masonic) parades terrorising my people. haha I used England for two degrees and a master's and they're getting nothing back
because they have lived there for nearly 500 years. But cant wait to see Ireland reunified and you and the rest who called for it getting this lot on your doorstep, laugh i nearly bought a beer.
@williammohan9784 When a United Ireland happens and it will probably be in 25/ 30 years, everything will be on the table for discussion that has been confirmed by pro UI politicians, and if unionist reps asked for repatriation grant for those who would want to leave im sure the new state would look at that in all honesty I'd rather they stay and make a go of it but there will be some who will leave and some who have left already because of demographics
The fact is Muslims and Hindus in India have major differences just like Gaels and Ulster Scots in Northern Ireland. Considering the current demographic transition of Ireland via mass non-European immigration, something openly encouraged by the supposedly ‘Nationalist’ SF btw, this ancient conflict in Ulster seems terribly shallow and antiquated by comparison.
The good news is, that there are fewer and fewer of these dinosaurs holding us back with each new generation, and the appetite for reunification just gets stronger and stronger.
As a Catholic from Fermanagh, who managed to get out of that shite hole many years ago, i cant wait to see the reaction of the South, when a million disgruntled Prods are shoe horned into the ROI. Along with your mix of asylum seekers etc etc. I fully expect the ROI to self combust in a few months after reunification. I will be getting the pop corn ready in front of my telly here in Malta and watching all the fun.
I am a British Citizen, live in Australia, my father returned to England in the 1970’s on holiday the 1940’s England he left had significantly changed, (he was shocked he was stuck in a time warp). These Irish people are stuck in a time warp too, they need to let go and move on, Ireland needs to progress be its own modern country/govt not like the 1920’s agreement. Australia is its own country/govt it maintains some superficial public relations connections to Britain.
1976 wasn't that long ago? Catch yourself on it's nearly 50 years ago!!!! I think you'll find a lot of loyal people from the Shankill are now doing very well for themselves in the suburbs and they're still as loyal and proud to be British as ever! Suck it up!!! 😄

They show an un dieing love for a country and a monarchy that couldn't care less about them
😂😂I know
To be fair. Our own government doesn't give a shite about us either
They show an undying love for British government handouts. Unionists and their fabled loyalty is conditional

They may be British but they live in Ireland, not Britain. Shankill is an Irish name.
It means old church
Shankill is a suburb of Dublin.
They live in Northern Ireland, which is British.
