Head the ball Parade and donations

Post image

Parked the car and walked to our regular Chinese takeaway last night. While waiting for my order 2 of the parade lads came in with a bucket for donations, set it on the counter. Demanded that the lady should make a donation. She said no- due to the amount of customers she had to turn away yesterday, she lost income as the road was closed for the parade. They became threatening and told her she needs to donate to local people or there “will be consequences”

Is it not enough that the roads are closed to local business but workers and owners are also being threatened like this? I don’t care if people want to march but im sick of this shite

There's a Chinese on the Belfast road beside the dominos called chopsticks. Last time you traversed the Belfast road, did you do so with your eyes closed? Also the smell is probably just your breath going up your nose. Cos you're talking shite.
