Níl brón ar Gregory.

DUP MP Gregory Campbell has been barred from addressing the Northern Ireland Assembly for a day for failing to apologise for an Irish language parody. Mr Campbell told BBC Radio Ulster on Tuesday: “I have nothing to apologise for and I won’t be apologising.”

He said comments made against him were “absurd and ludicrous” and he would continue to act as he had done, so long as Sinn Féin persisted with using Irish as they did in the assembly.

“I exposed the fallacy and the nonsense of people who insist on using Irish to begin every single contribution, no matter what the topic is, when most people don’t understand what they’re saying.”

Last December Saw our fleg depart
And it wasn’t okay
‘Cause it’s not on display

This year
We want it to reappear
That’s basically it in a nutshell

 

‘Last December’, a Wham! parody for charity by satirists Loyalists Against Democracy (LAD).

LAD were born a year ago this week in response to loyalists protesting at the flying of the Union Jack from Belfast City Hall solely on designated days.

The single, launched last week with proceeds going to SOS Bus NI, climbed Amazon’s mp3 chart and was a 10/1 bet to make the Christmas Number One spot.

Until a Dublin musician called ‘Frankie Regan’ made a complaint to the music distributors claiming the lyrics were sectarian and SOS took the decision to step away from the single.

‘Frankie Regan’, it has since emerged, is a known anti-Lad lad from Coleraine.

Good times.

BWFzCU3IEAATUjU.jpg largeLoyalists Against Democracy (LAD), a cross-community group of satirising, irreverent like-minded individuals have been subjected to a backlash of sorts from the likes of ‘genuine‘ loyalists of late.

LAD were founded last December at the height of the Belfast City Hall fleg shenanigans and quickly gained a large following via Facebook with their endless lampooning of the flegger’s racist, sectarian and semi-literate rants.

Their mission in their own words is:

to drive sectarianism out of our country through the use of satire and parody.

As LAD post videos and photos highlighting offensive material of loyalists on their Facebook page, loyalists in turn are reporting their own material to Facebook as offensive. This is the paradox which could only happen in Ireland Ulster Northern Ireland the United Kingdom are pravence whatevs.

For the moment, they are back on Facebook again. This time as BELFASTLAD.

In the meantime, they hope followers and friends will contact Facebook and highlight their plight.

Stick it in a paaaaan-nationalist front.
