Ballycastle Orange Hall attacked by republicans in County Antrim

Last night there was an attempt to burn down Ballycastle Orange Hall in County Antrim. A passing RUC patrol discovered the fire which was started inside the Hall, where various items along with car tyres were piled in the centre of the Hall and lit. Luckily there was only slight scorch and smoke damage.

Once again the nationalist community project the view of no toleration whatsoever for a culture different from their own. It is time for the British Government and the 'great and the good' to come out and instruct these aggressive republican nationalists people, that there must be accommodation for the Protestant Culture and heritage.

Or as can be seen by the ruling of the unelected quango of the Parades Commission are they supporting the segregation of the Protestant people of Northern Ireland and the denial of our heritage and Culture which is all too apparent at this time.

Because if Apartheid is dead in South Africa it is certainly alive and kicking in Northern Ireland aided and abetted by the parades commission and the NIO.

Over the past 4 years over 90 Protestant families have been intimidated from their homes in Rasharkin, Cloughmills is now starting with Protestant school children being attacked a few weeks ago by adults wielding hurling sticks.
