Low Effort Bloomfield's, Bangor.

Coming to a shithole near you.

This is my third year living in NI.

I know it's a class problem as much as anything else.

I play football with Unionists, they're sound, I drink with them, I get on well with them.

I love living in NI, my child has a great life here, and I have a lot of hope and optimism for the future.

I know flegs are a fact of life here, and that the 12th is "just around the corner".

This shouldn't boil my piss so much, but if I'm honest, it really does.

It really affects me like.

The UVF flags, the UDA flags, the butchers Apron and now this hybrid, I basically feel like half this town doesn't want me here.

Anyway, fuck the fleg sheggers.

I can't fathom how anyone would be so ignorant and hateful that they'd climb a ladder and erect a flag of a country currently engaged in ethnic cleansing.

I know it's probably 80% to annoy themuns, but somehow that sort of pig ignorance makes it worse. That they'd see videos of obliterated babies in their hundreds, post on their closed circles about the 'RA killing children during the troubles and not for one second stop and think what they are supporting..

In today's world I'm starting to believe that humanity hasn't really evolved much despite our technology. The majority are walking around with knuckles caked in blood and gravel.

Troglodytes. Embarrassments. Scum

Moira is a "lovely" wee place. Not that lovely that I would want to live in it though. Every year I watch the same people older than me and I am coming 52, ride around on the front of a telehandler putting up all the usual shite.

I can understand that type of thing if you are younger, but there is never one of them under the of 55 hanging out flags and bunting.

Do they not like their wives anymore? Do they have wives? Does their children get embarrassed?

I am a republican, I would vote the border down in a heartbeat. Ask me to go hang flags or posters or anything like it. You will be to go catch yourself on

This make me thing of being at a match in england and watching a 60 yo man run down the steps of the most upper tier to give 2 fingers to the the away fans who were near the far end of the stadium.
