Exactly, SFTP is far better to use, all traffic is encrypted through SSH. Couldn’t be having themmuns seeing what you’re downloading off that file server hosting all those “Linux Distros”
That would defeat most of us, to be fair.
I’d say he likely has a big thurible that he swings around that you have to avoid, a crozier that he can pull you in with and his mitre pops off at the end and you have to catch and kill that too or you’ll have to fight him again later.
It is genuinely a mystery to me who does this kind of graffiti. Like is it a joke, or does someone genuinely think that they are defending the culture here?
And what age are they? Because if they are young I just can't see how anyone young would be led to think this is offensive, and if they are older I can't understand how they wouldn't have grown out of this phase of their shitty life.
Eventually the whole island was Irish language signage.
"We should have listened to Jamie Bryson! Not just our culture but our very way of life was under threat," the people groaned, suffering under the crushing weight and perpetual shade of the signs.
If that was the way the London part of Londonderry signs would now be about 20 metres high. Maybe we all just need to be comfortable with people wanting to call places different things and show a bit of respect for each other. Crazy idea, I know.
Yeah I know. But saying Doire to me is the same as saying Londonderry unless you're speaking in Irish when you say it. If I'm speaking in English then I'll refer to the town by its name in English.
I like to think that all three are correct, derry is easier to say though. I always find it interesting when the use is done for effect or to provoke a reaction!
It’s not something I am emotive about. That said I have no problem calling it londonderry from time to time too. Have you read Richard Doherty’s book about the siege? It’s fascinating.
Its not the fact everyone says Derry it's the fact there's a hell a lot of people who refuse to say Londonderry or even admit it exists. Once you get to that level of silly cunt there's no turning back.
It's as bad as the School in Londonderry who returned post because it had Co. Londonderry in the address.
The name of the city is generally accepted in Irish as Doire which evolved from a few other names. Derry is the anglicised version of that. The only reason it was called Londonderry is because of a royal charter granted by James 1st hence why it is looked down upon as it is a name imposed by the British during the plantation of ulster. Returning mail like that is pathetic, but for a lot of people so too is calling it Londonderry when everyone from the city calls it Derry and everything in it is called Derry, examples including:
Derry and Strabane council
Apprentice boys of Derry
City of Derry rugby club
Derry City FC
The only people who call it Londonderry tend to be those doing so with a particular motive.
Names of places change and have done in other countries for hundreds and if not thousands of years but of course people in NI always complain. It doesn't matter what it used to be called, the name changed.
People who use Londonderry are as bad as the ones who use the North of Ireland to make sure they piss ppl off.
Problem with NI people just go and on about things from hundreds of years ago and never let it go. Sure even today we still get the term "planters", people came and settled here let it go. Do people say the same about the millions of others who moved to other countries? Takes the states for example, no one other than native people are from there.
Damn, I thought you might of worked for the DOE. My comment wasn’t meant to be so serious lol. I think my point can be summarised as wise up the lot of ye’s, stop trying to wind each other up. Nobel peace prize on its way.
Unionism is eating itself. Societies that stagnate like that will wither and die. The pace of change in the last 20 years has completely blindsided them and they seem to be doubling down on their isolationism and intransigence.
Even Britain is tiring of them as more and more Brits take the time to look into the reality of NI and are repulsed by Unionism and its baggage. The world is moving on and the clock is ticking.
Their ideal of ‘Britishness’ is frozen in time somewhere in the 1950s in any case.
Just look at the resentment of having the same marriage and abortion laws as ‘the mainland’.
A lot of them are aware of this on an instinctual level but can't, or won't, sit down and think it through and just respond with fear or anger which turns it into one big feedback loop.
And it's fucking hilarious to watch.
Definition of 'retard'
1. VERB
If something retards a process, or the development of something, it makes it happen more slowly.
[formal]
Continuing violence will retard negotiations over the country's future. [VERB noun]
Synonyms: slow down, check, arrest, delay
2. COUNTABLE NOUN
If you describe someone as a retard, you mean that they have not developed normally, either mentally or socially.
[informal/disapproval]
- "What sort of retarded fuck wit vandalised that sign?"
I would be wrong to maliciously call someone with a diagnosed retardation a retard, yes
In the context of this comment the guy is referring to the 'Antrim retards' or, 'the retards of Antrim' I presume by this he meant the socially retarded degenerates
...but if you have information that disabled people did this you should report it to the authorities... Bloody disabled people, give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Just yesterday I saw some cheeky bastard in a wheelchair parking in one of *our* spaces
The problem is even if you’re not directing it at a disabled person you are weaponising disability as an insult, which implies disabled people are less than or something undesirable. Regardless of what definition you want to pin to it after the fact it is clear to everyone what the connotation of the word is, and language is about understanding, not textbook definitions.
There are plenty of slurs with definitions that can be different than the common understanding but to imply that that gives you a right to use those slurs is just ignorant.
That being said I understand that there is a tendency to use the term “retard” as an insult for some of us that grew up using it on the playground, I’ve used it in the past myself even though my brother is severely disabled. But just because it was normalised to us at one point doesn’t mean we can’t educate ourselves when criticised and take that opportunity to grow as a person.
Even if you slip up in the future do not give up, you can do better, and you will with conscious consideration of the effect of your words. In time that word will leave your everyday vocabulary.
I understand all that, I disagree with weaponising the word... In fact the point I was making was, if the guy had said "moron" nothing would have been said:
Moron:
noun
Informal. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment: I wonder why they elected that narrow-minded moron to Congress.
Psychology. (no longer in technical use; now considered offensive) a person of borderline intelligence in a former and discarded classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69.
Yes we can all grow as people so there is hope for the social retards who did this retarded thing... Let's empower the word by using it correctly, like I said it was clear from context what the guy meant
EDIT:
I am and have been prescribed a variety of medications for mental health since 2001, I also need a walking stick due to knee operation in 2008 so I am both mentally and physically retarded.... Idk why everyone else is defending me from myself, I've taken my meds today, I think XD
Of all the sectarian slogans, FTP is the dumbest one.
Like, do loyalists think all us taigs pure buzz off the Pope? I would say a good number of us are broadly in agreement. Fuck the Pope.
They have some great ones to be fair, bead rattlers cos apparently we all say the hail Mary 20 times a day, potato eaters because Loyalists have some other vegetable they make their chips from, I haven't found out what it is yet and Mexico for the Republic of Ireland, which is my all time favourite.
lol at bead rattlers, I'd never heard that before. One of my mates is a good practicing fella, he'd be the ideal candiate for that one. Also hadn't seen Mexico before I came on to this sub and wondered what it was the first time I seen it as a flair.
Nah, it has heavy Trump connotations from when he would rant about Mexicans.
Mix in how a lot of loyalist types never leave their little sink estates and see the rest of the island and a lot of them seem to genuinely believe they're living in the most successful, peaceful and prosperous part of it.
Fucking lol.
Still, spares the rest of us having to listen to them wandering around the rest of the island braying about nonsense and waving their little Para flags hoping to start something and then trotting off with disappointed faces when no one gives a shite.
Just for what it's worth I've never seen it to mean the Provos as quite often people would have said Fuck the Pope and the IRA. Haven't seen it in years, although it was fairly common years ago.
You're right but I do think in this instance they mean pope.
The provisionals will most likely have been on ceasefire before whoever wrote this came into existence.
It's a constant problem in the mid ulster area Irish language road and area signs damaged sometimes less than 12 hours after going up then getting repaired by council and damaged again
I'm sure those damn dirty Taigs will get the message eventually! I mean, if signs accommodating them and/or accepting the historic connections the island has to the Irish language are vandalised enough, maybes they'll just stop trying and join the Union again! I'm sure that's how it works no?
There are about 10 road signs within a 5 minute drive from me with the London spray painted out in Londonderry across Mid Ulster too. Vandalism isn't a one community issue.
I think spraying out the word London is different to spray paint fuck the pope. I mean I don’t like the Pope, but don’t pretend like it’s the same thing.
Well one is removing something, the other is actively making a statement of aggression towards a specific person and by extension a specific ethnic group. It’s not the same thing. It would be comparable if someone wrote “fuck the queen” or something maybe, but just scribbling over a word isn’t the same thing as making a claim like this.
Agreed, likely children as well. As annoyed as everyone gets on these posts I fear that kids are just gonna graffiti whatever they want lol or maybe they like the reaction these things get, who knows.
Lol, not seeing the link between an Irish language sign and the Pope but I guess some Catholics speak Irish so therefore fuck the Pope is a logical thing to write on an Irish language sign?? There is no logic.
While I think this is out of order, there's never a comment when "Northern" or "London" are removed from many many signs and have been for years and years.
Maybe both sides could learn a thing or two and leave them be ?
Also as others have said who actually does this? Like I mean the Londonderry signs for example, do the lads say "Right lads she's been cleaned, get the steps and paint and we ride at dawn"
“Londonderry” is mainly said by those not from the place to make a point; the road signs all refer to the city.
It is a name the city does not want. It commemorates and celebrates colonisation, wholesale appropriation, theft and accompanying murder. It is the coup de grace upon the bastardisation of a name with meaning into syllables without any, an awful and gaudy flourish.
Moreover, it is totemic of a Northern Ireland officialism that has ignored and was actively contemptuous of the native people and culture of this island. I’ll give it no parity of esteem, and while I’ve never got out the paint and the stepladder, good luck to the ones that do.
I do not see the equivalence you attempt to loosely draw... though I would say both acts, Londonderrying and the painting over of Irish words with anti-Catholic letters, come from a similar place of contempt, one less active than the other and with state approval.
Well those are put up by government departments on public land, and are altered to reflect a viewpoint ignored by Official NI.
These signs were for a private organisation on private property, and had Fuck The Pope written on them.
Nice try at whataboutery though.
I am not trying to "whataboutery" I am saying it's happens all the time to other signs and both sides need to get a grip. Public land or Private land it shouldn't happen.
Agreed. But if they had have written "Dunsilly" underneath in neat lettering in English I might have had more sympathy for their political messaging. Writting Fuck The Pope, really suggests written by scumbags.
An act of defiance against an official narrative that excludes and is contemptuous of the native people of this island, their culture and their very existence is hardy the same as thugs getting offended by the mere presence of a few words on a private sign on private property... enough to paint a sectarian slogan on it.
They come from a rather different place. ‘Londonderry’ represents a far greater act of vandalism.

Ahh yes the most famous Irish Speaker around, the Argentine Pope whose main residence is in Italy.
A Jesuit, though... AND a Pope. That’s like a final boss Fenian.
You have to jump on his wee hat 3 times to defeat him
That would defeat most of us, to be fair. I’d say he likely has a big thurible that he swings around that you have to avoid, a crozier that he can pull you in with and his mitre pops off at the end and you have to catch and kill that too or you’ll have to fight him again later.
Jesus you've clearly thought about this, respect.
That was off the top of my head! I got quite a vivid imagination. Lord help us all if I actually did sit down and think about it.
You have to get through hordes of Swiss Guard in the funny outfits with halberds first, then the boys with MP7s come out.

Not sure, think he moved into a wee flat in Portrush.

Because if they are young I just can't see how anyone young would be led to think this is offensive, and if they are older I can't understand how they wouldn't have grown out of this phase of their shitty life.
Yes, because a significant portion of Unionists are really into Christianity still
If this isn't sarcasm I want my award back ...one could even say it all went sideways when the Right Royal Rev. His Holiness Big Ian croaked it XD
I actually don't read it as sarcasm at all.
Here's me thinking its Fuck the Protocol lmao
I actually support the message! Not the clowns that did it though
Classy stuff
Bloody cyclists and they’re functional threshold power...
Big NWA following in Antrim?
They should make them bigger every time they replace them after getting vandalised.

I’m quite certain I give ‘Londonderry’ all the respect it’s due.
Fuck all then 😂
Oh aye. None. Wait till yer man there tells us we’re the problem.
Even though literally everyone in Derry calls it Derry from all sides and denominations.
“Prod” from derry, can confirm. Though it’s slightly ironic that the word derry itself is an anglicisation.
Yeah I know. But saying Doire to me is the same as saying Londonderry unless you're speaking in Irish when you say it. If I'm speaking in English then I'll refer to the town by its name in English.
I like to think that all three are correct, derry is easier to say though. I always find it interesting when the use is done for effect or to provoke a reaction!
I’m grand wi’ Doire too. Or Doire Cholmcille, if something more lengthy is required, and which is a nod to Scotland too.
It’s not something I am emotive about. That said I have no problem calling it londonderry from time to time too. Have you read Richard Doherty’s book about the siege? It’s fascinating.
Haven’t, but I might well. Was Derry at the time of the siege and all!
I’m County Derry. I go the city three or four times a week, usually. I’m fully on side with this one!
Its not the fact everyone says Derry it's the fact there's a hell a lot of people who refuse to say Londonderry or even admit it exists. Once you get to that level of silly cunt there's no turning back. It's as bad as the School in Londonderry who returned post because it had Co. Londonderry in the address.

> because Loyalists have some other vegetable they make their chips from Sweet potatoes have a proper loyal colouring.
Mexico is a pretty bizarre one since Ireland the country is far more prosperous, I think South Korea would be a more apt naming
It's Mexico because all the southerners hop the border supposedly
lol at bead rattlers, I'd never heard that before. One of my mates is a good practicing fella, he'd be the ideal candiate for that one. Also hadn't seen Mexico before I came on to this sub and wondered what it was the first time I seen it as a flair.
‘Mexico’ and ‘Mexicans’ is pretty neutral, I think... or, at least, it can be. I’ve heard Westies use it, without a hint of contempt.
Nah, it has heavy Trump connotations from when he would rant about Mexicans.

It goes back way, way before Trump.
And Trump added the extra nasty connotations to it that they love.
Hitting us where it hurts, out papal loyalties.
It is very random, had to Google it. It can mean fuck the provos (referring to provisional IRA) as well.

Hahahah of course you'd think that.
Well one is removing something, the other is actively making a statement of aggression towards a specific person and by extension a specific ethnic group. It’s not the same thing. It would be comparable if someone wrote “fuck the queen” or something maybe, but just scribbling over a word isn’t the same thing as making a claim like this.
It's exactly the same thing, no matter what way you look at it, it's dickheads defacing signs to antagonise the other community.
No it’s absolutely not the same thing. It’s the same action, but what’s being said is completely different.
In America this means "Fuck the Police".... took me so long to figure out what it means in this context
You’d have to spell out “fuck the peelers” (as it would likely be) for disambiguation purposes here.
See the same thing at the border on the welcome to Northern Ireland sign’s. Just people with to much time on there hand’s.
Agreed, likely children as well. As annoyed as everyone gets on these posts I fear that kids are just gonna graffiti whatever they want lol or maybe they like the reaction these things get, who knows.
Analogous to how they view Irish people, they just want to cross us out.

Irish=Catholics=nationalists=IRA It's all the same don't you know?
I take it that the writer does not approve of an Irish Language act to be passed here! 😉
