Financial Support of Ulster-British Culture

For many years the GAA has received sponsorship from businesses across the country. This happened even when they had 'apartheid' style rules excluding those associated with the security forces of the United Kingdom. And yet the GAA themselves continue to associate with terrorists through the naming of tournaments and stadiums. They also act in a political way in Northern Ireland by refusing to respect the anthem and flag of the UK by flying a foreign flag and playing a foreign anthem in NI.

If businesses like BT and the Ulster Bank feel that the GAA is something they wish to financially support, isn't it time that Ulster-British culture also received support from these same companies?

Perhaps a re-constituted Ulster Society (for the Promotion of Ulster-British Culture and Heritage) could act as an umbrella group for the various Loyal Orders, bands and cultural groups to apply for such sponsorship and work alongside the Ulster-Scots Agency. Surely businesses could not act in such a biased way by supporting the GAA and refusing to sponsor the culture of the greater number of people in Northern Ireland?

The Silence of the DUP Lambs ...

It has emerged that £18 million will come out of the EU PEACE III funding to be used for a so-called Conflict Resolution Centre at the Maze.

As Kenny Donaldson from SEFF has said: "I have not spoken to a single victim who has been in support of this conflict centre. There is also concern that this money could have been used to help the many victims groups around Northern Ireland, instead of going towards some kind of terrorist shrine.”

Of course the only people who want this shrine are the Provisional Sinn Fein-IRA terrorists now sitting in Government. The DUP rejected a sports stadium on the maze site because of the link to the proposed centre. However, I assume some sort of deal has been done between the Sinn Fein-IRA gang and the DUP as the DUP have gone quiet over the matter. So we don't even get a new stadium only the terrorist shrine.

Recently the DUP have been going GAA GAA over that political/cultural/sporting organisation. Now it seems the MLAs are going BAA BAA over the Maze terrorist shrine. Who would have thought it ... the silence of the DUP lambs.
