MANUFACTURING A MYTH

TBAYSatire

Came a cross a video on Youtube which manufactures  a couple of myths. The first myth gives the impression Tigers Bay is the whole of N.Belfast???? lol lol lol

Tiger`s Bay consists of only a few streets! This link takes you to the Tiger`s Bay Community Facebook page.  Even the area which is usually described by the MSM as Tigers` Bay is not Tiger`s Bay. Most people from the area are aware of this but many outsiders are not.

Some people seem to think Tiger`s Bay stretches from Duncairn Gardens to Shore Crescent! I am afraid this is not reality.

The second myth is regarding the UVF.  An attempt is made to imply the modern UVF and the historical UVF are one in the same. This is a myth and it is a myth which offends many Unionists.  If the original UVF had been depending on recruits from Tiger`s Bay there would not have been many!

The 3rd Battalion UVF N.Belfast would have had a large percentage of personnel from the old York street area. I have not done any research on the matter but I am pretty certain that the original N.Belfast UVF was not known as UVF Tiger`s Bay.

The historical UVF was not saturated with “British” secret service agents/ touts. If it had been the British government would never have allowed it to be callously slaughtered.

I downloaded the video and edited it, cutting out the fantasy parts. You can view the original video at this link. It is a good tune but much fantasy is included.
