The long term working class permanent residents of Holylands south belfast, are taking back their streets from big buisness property developers and student loving slumlords.
Due to the continual disrespect towards working class permanent residents of the holylands, many of whom are young families/mixed religion families and elderly pensioners, the continual anti social behaviour and vandalism of the humble properties of the above working class residents by middle class yuppie students running amok under the protection of the pig service of northern ireland who favour and protect the middle class students(future professionals, pig bosses and DHSS clerks) against the working class permanent residents of the holylands. Working class permanent residents are having to take the law into their own hands, as a last resort, after continually pleading with politicians and pigs for help in curtailing the anti social behaviour of the privilleged few middle class students. Our pleas for the last 3 years have fallen on deaf ears, as politicians and pigs alike, turn a blind eye to the vandalism, and harrassment and take the side of rich big buisness property developers and slumlords who are trying to drive out the permanent working class residents to create an all exclusive playground for middle class students to party in.
