00:00I'm John Ross, I'm the TUV rep for East Belfast. I'm here today for two reasons. Primarily,

00:07I support the genuine protest, the genuine concerns that these people have. And secondly,

00:15secondly, they're trying to discourage young lads from getting involved in something, needlessly.

00:22From getting involved, getting sucked into violence, getting arrested and ruining their

00:27lives. And I'm here to try and discourage that. That's what I'm trying to do today.

00:31And I believe politicians from all quarters should have been here today. Should have been

00:36here today, standing side by side with these people, in peaceful protest, and putting their

00:42point across, and discouraging these young lads from getting themselves arrested and

00:48ruining their lives.
