Ulster Volunteer Force 1913-2013
I would like to start by saying congratulations to all those who organized, participated & came out to watch & support this parade. It was not only a joy to watch but also a privilege to record.
Protestant Unionist Loyalist Culture is something to be very proud of & it should be highlighted at every opportunity.
During the week leading up to this parade, some, like Republican SDLP man Conall McDevitt, jumped on the fact that UVF flags were being put up on lamp posts. He & those like him did not wait to see what the flags were all about or even ask what they meant to the PUL people. The PUL Culture Haters jumped straight into their Robotic, Tried & Tested, PUL Culture Beating Mode. Spewing utterances like ........this does nothing to help the new shared community we are trying to build.
Well the answer to that is this.
Tolerance & Cultural Acceptance.
Look at the videos on RU-vid, not on the news, as the media won't report anything that isn't damaging to the PUL community.
Look at the crowds out watching & taking part in this event, people on the footpaths, along the route. The Ravenhill Road, Woodstock Road, Castlereagh Road, Newtownards Road, Hollywood Road, Belmont Road all packed, 1000,s out celebrating the Ulster Volunteers.
There is nothing to fear from PUL Culture.
What people fear is the perception that has been created by people like Conall McDevitt from within the Irish Republican SDLP.
