@51wins Who were the "terrorist" band you refer to by the way? The Flute Band in the video are independent Irish nationalists; they also have Protestant members so I'm not sure how you can say they are sectarian.
I think that Irish culture is open to everyone not just Christians. What about you?
I noticed the favourites on your channel - I will take your claim about being Irish at face value.
There is some dispute as to where St Patrick was born; some commentators have it in Modern day Cumbria. If anything St Patrick was born in Romano-Welsh Britain.
the flute band in the parade "Erin Go Bragh flute band" from Scotland is NOT a republican band it is an Irish independent flute band and have took part in the St. Patricks Day Parade 3 years now.
Don't think here was 50,000 watching never 100,000 numbers were small and it was badly attended.
I was pretty disappointed to see an Irish Republican IRA terrorist band taking part in the parade. Any wonder by the good people of Manchester stay well clear of the event.
100,000 on a route that is only 2,500m long? That's 20 people behind every metre of kerb on both sides of the road along the entire route. Was it really that busy? At 0:08 in this video there is a shot of a float going past and pavement is empty,

The Scots and the Irish historically are the same nation.

I'm Irish so therefore how can it be anti-Irish racism????
I think your one of these people who play the race card all the time even against those of the same race as yourself.
The event this year was very badly attended, papers reported 15,000 compared to what the Irish Festival said there would be (100,000).
Terrorist bands have no place in St. Patrick's parades, its sectarian and bigoted to include such bands. Its a Christian day not a day for murderers.

Typical anti-Irish racism. What is missing in your statement is "The famine is over why don't you go home?".
Not abnormal for a fascist like you to be misrepresenting stuff now?
