Sham69 'Ulster' - Play this track here.

Caustic, bleak, no bullshit—not that you’d expect anything less from the plebian punk act that married nihilism with hooliganism. In a gaunt, football-chant chorus, the band declares no future for anybody, be it civilian, paramilitary, or otherwise: “Ulster / There ain’t no winners.” The final lines of “Ulster” are even grimmer, as singer Jimmy Pursey predicts an outcome for those ensnared in the sectarian web of violence: “And now you’re lyin’ in your hospital bed / You can still hear the bullets rushing past your head / No more fun for you ain’t no more / You’ve ended like the rest and now you’re dead.”

Not one of my most fav tracks, but one I think suitable for this violent week in Northern Ireland and Belfast in particular. The battle of the Boyne celebrations split the community in a way that the slightest spark may result in a burning car, watercannon on the street or more injuries being ferried to the Major Trauma Centre at the Royal Hospitals. They are experts in the field so fortunately you would be in good hands (medical, not catholic or protestant).

Many on the streets this week are apparently teenagers who never experienced the original 70's/80's 'troubles'.

Sinn Fein MLA Jennifer McCann was reported to be at Broadway for several hours during the trouble. She believes that those taking part in the rioting were not from the area.

"Mostly what I saw was people who came from other parts of Belfast, who would be known as anti-social elements, who had taken a lot of drink and were attacking the police," she said.

"I am appealing to young people who may be caught up in this behaviour to stay away from Broadway, Ardoyne or anywhere else there may be a chance of trouble."

There is a broad desire for peace across the community. Lets all hope normal more peaceful service can resume soon....
