UDA were planning "blaze of glory"
Apr 16 2008
Haha gotta love this...
BBC UDA figures were planning to announce they would never disband while strutting to Jon Bon Jovi's song Blaze of Glory, a court has heard.
He was one of six men arrested alongside loyalist Ihab Shoukri in March 2006 at the Alexandra Bar.
Ihab was taking some kids football team about 2 months ago when we were playing 5aside.
Rocky Batt's line on the Shoukris: "drug-dealing camel-jockeys".

I think Orangise! uses some pretty sweet tunes too - "into the devil's lair..."

The cops bust into that bar in March 2006 in a blaze of tear gas grenades to arrest these men for planning a UDA sing-along and plaque handing out ceremony???
Fuck everyone thought they'd stopped them from going on some sorta sectarian killing spree the way they weighed in.
Orangise! denounces this blatant act of political policing.
Besides the Shoukri's are well cool (as in gangsta) and my ex ( a taig) used to babysit Andre.

But, like its a really ugly bar, must be some right eejits out there buying paintings. You cannae really see it that well for all the landrovers but clearly not very picturesque is it?
Not knocking yer bro's artistic capabilities though.

He alleged Mr Robinson's fingerprints were found on a shop receipt for plaques.
Not exaclty damning.

So they've arrested six blokes in a pub who were drinking and talking about the UDA pretty much? These blokes weren’t suspected of sectarian violence just arrested for buying and having the plaques right?
I don’t known it just seems like thats just a few steps away from kicking down your door and arresting you for saying naughty things about the govt :/
Hell from the way the the bbc article reads you could be arrested for talking about the IRA/UDA in a history class.

Aye, after firing teargas grenades through the upstairs windows, storming through the downstairs bar in full riot gear to get to the room upstairs all in order to prevent those six blokes from staging a UDA "show of strength".
Though Irnec, the apparently 'crucial' omission in your account is that they were gonna give the plaques out at this show of strength to some mates of the UDA after saying nice stuff about the UFF. Oh, and worst of all they were planning on playing Bon Jovi.*
All extremely valid reasons to have been held on remand since March 2006.
*Prof. Stephen Howe will no doubt be frantically scribbling more of his academic 'insights' into Loyalism and cultural borrowing to go with his startling revelations that Johnny Adair has a Micky Mouse tattoo, likes UB40 and Tina Turner, and that some Loyalists prefer 'black' music to flute bands, wear sports clothes and like bling, whereas others, like Andre, prefer a more mafiosi look . Shit anyone would think these people were working class or summat. That, rather than sectarian violence, is probably the most damning indictment of Loyalism that any academic could make.

it's not that it's picturesque, more that it's recognisable
he doesn't paint picture-esque things, he paints the belfast that no-one pays attention to - abaondoned buildings, estates, burned-out cars, empty factories, that type of shite.

Sounds a bit Nathan Barley but in practise I like his shit. A critique of bourgeois functionalist architecture and of the inefficiency of our society.
Also Belfast looks fucking horrible. I have to visit.

My brother's def not a barley - he's a ballroot I can still run faster than him though!
Belfast can be pretty fuckin grim, like they just started building the bonfire at the bottom of my street, shit.
But see when the sun was out today, and it looked like it might be summer, I was like "Belfast's alright".
Oh Alan, come to Belfast bookfair, 1st weekend of Sept

Dunno, my visa expires July 31 but all that means is I'd have to cross the border into Belize or Guatemala for 3 days and then return as a tourist, which buys me another 3 months...to be honest, returning to the UK isn't that appealling right now.

Yo, I'll definitely come over. Do you think the wee man will make it to the Belfast bookfair? I mean, he'd have to walk a whole 200 yard down the road.

It's about 8-13 degrees out there that means its about time to get the shorts and sandals out right?
