Thousands of people have taken part in a “Love Ulster” parade in west Belfast. Community groups, victims’ groups, bands and members of the Orange Order joined the rally which began on the Shankill Road at 1200 BST. Organisers said the march was part of a campaign for unionist unity and represented a “demand to respect the rights of the unionist community”. Victims’ groups, some holding pictures of lost relatives, led the parade, followed by several bands of Orangemen.

Oh no not an Ireland thread
Yes and they’re plannig to go around the six counties, one gripe they have is the police.
They say they’re sectarian bigots because they went in heavey handed on them, PSNI police service of northern Ireland.
When it was the RUC Royal Ulster Constabulary, the protestants saw them as their police force.
So just to make a long story boring the RUC were over 95% protestant, and the Catholic cry was that they were a protestant police force for a protestant people. ( I wonder why)
But now we had Chris Patton going around the country with one person from the USA, (a police comissioner from New York) and a few others, looking for feed-back as to how he could start a new police force.

So the PSNI is what we got, 50-50 recruitment protestant & catholic, so it seems like the cry of the catholics has gone 180, with protestants calling the police what the catholics called the old RUC.
The organisers predicted 30,000 people would show up, but only 5,000 appeared, people are sick sore and tired of pied pipers calling others onto the street.
Oh ! and their other gripe is too many concessions to nationalists, I’m not bothered, they can protest and march till they’re blue in the face, as long as the do it peacefully.
