I really enjoyed the commentary on this one. Very knowledgeable and interesting. An hour later you'd have passed me walking along Cambria St. Aye, local homes for local people, absolutely!
I enjoyed the commentary in this one. It really adds to the experience. Can you visit the Townsend St and Greenland St area some time? My dad was from there.
Oh my word. Thirty years on from the initial ceasefires it seems parts of Unionism/Loyalism have stood still , regressed even. Even the commentary shows the inward looking , "defenderist" mindset. "Homes for Locals" , "defending bonfires from undesirables" which are a blight on their areas and in other part of the UK would be called out for the anti-social vandalism that they are , not to mention the taxpayers money spent on health and safety and cleaning up etc which would be better used for the NHS . This hatred and yearning for the past has done nothing for working class protestants , nothing only poverty and heartbreak.
Imagine thinking supporting housing for local people on the housing waiting list is an issue. Imagine taking issue with calling someone "undesirable " who would attempt to destroy something others have created, an act of destruction which would be driven by bigotry and sectarianism. No sale here, your false outrage has no power
@@shadowmanstrolls811 It's not a false outrage at all , mate. It really isn't. It's pity. Pity that you feel the act of vandalising areas by building large pyres is an essential part of your Britishness. There's so much more open and inclusive aspects of your Britishness to celebrate and remember , NHS , Welfare state , The Chartists , Magna Carta , Trade Unions etc.
@jinkylarsson2869 it isn't really vandalising though. It's carried out on wasteland and is cleaned up afterwards. It's only one aspect of celebrating a historical event
What a lovely drive on the Shankill. My family lives near there the Chippy across the Shankill Graveyard. Thank you for posting ❤
@@habibinel Thank you for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video

Thanks for the comment Mark. Yes, no problem, I'll keep those streets in mind for my next visit, should be back up soon
My only surprise is that there are a lack of flags flying from individual homes - in the old days they were out in force on individual properties.

Ridiculous hyperbole, but thanks for watching
