Every year in the run up to the annual Battle of the Boyne celebrations we see nationalists take aim at a new target, from Orange men returning home from their church service at Drumcree to this year’s bonfire in Tigers Bay.

It seems nationalists once again prove that the sight of any sort of unionist culture is unacceptable.

Unionists have woken up to realise they have no more left to give.

It is time for nationalists to show some respect and tolerance to their unionists neighbours and stop attacking our culture.
