What we know now: that Republicans can pretty much block parades to run the clock down as they are on a timer; that the Republican protest has dissident terrorists in their wings ready to attack. Worrying ruling that weakens Orange rights. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c674…

Murder In Belfast ?
I watched this last night & it left me fookin raging 🤬
Here's my thought ...
The brutal killing of Robert McCarthy by the IRA, and the extensive cover-up that followed involving republicans, Adams and Sinn Féin, once again highlights Sinn Féin’s utter lack of integrity, unsuitability for high office and disregard for the rule of law.
Despite the bar being packed with roughly 70 witnesses, a wall of silence immediately went up. Witness intimidation and the fear of the threat of violence kept many silenced and the deluded institutional loyalty to IRA have robbed the family of Robert and his brave sisters of a justice that is long over-due and those complicit (and there are many) should hang their heads in eternal shame.
How people can still support these thugs and bullies is beyond my comprehension, especially ordinary law-abiding Catholics who continue to vote for them and keep them in power - as they use and abuse the GFA for their own selfish needs and twisted political ideology.
IMHO Sinn Féin are one of the biggest obstacle for a lasting peace and harmony between our two tribes and tarnishes our relationship with our cousins in the South of Ireland.

Sickening sectarian stickers have been spotted on a lamppost in Belfast.
One sticker depicts a mock execution alongside the words “Shoot your local Orange B*******”.

SF back motion for still born babies to be classified as non binary. Animal farm has this well covered.
The creatures outside looked from Alliance to SF , and from SF to Alliance, and from Alliance to SF again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Why is she speaking on a Strand 1 issue?
I wouldn't expect to see Michelle O'Neill commenting on the Irish budget in the lobby of the Dáil.

Put just an X on birth cert, no spontaneous hugs from family , though through COVID everyone wanted to hug their relatives,no guiding children through adolescence etc, shall we just let women give birth and hand their kids over to the Woke, as parents it seems will have no say .

Whats the uk got to do with her? She needs to mine her own business nobody in the uk voted for her @MaryLouMcDonald
💥NEW: Mary Lou McDonald - Blame for any strike action in Northern Ireland 'lies at the feet of the British Government'
🎥@sinnfeinireland President @MaryLouMcDonald says the blame for any potential strike action in Northern Ireland lies with the British Government.
🎤She told Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 that the Government's "final offer can't be the final offer."
Her comments come as Secretary of State Sir Chris Bryant meets political party leaders today, with discussions continuing over Stormont's budget crisis.
Executive departments have been operating without an agreed budget since the beginning of the financial year in April and are currently restricted to spending up to 95% of last year's funding.
Ministers in the devolved power-sharing administration insist they cannot agree a budget for 2026/27 without additional financial support from Westminster.
The UK Government has offered an extra £1.5 billion over the next three years in an effort to help balance the books, but Stormont's leaders insist the funding falls short of what is needed.
In response, Sir Chris has criticised what he describes as "irresponsible" overspending by devolved ministers.
More on-air and online.

I don't normally react to what SF does but Marie-Lou McDonald should have nothing to do with discussions about the internal budget of NI.

On this day 23rd October 1993 - The Shankill bombing took place
9 Protestants, men, women and children were murdered when Republican terrorists left a bomb in a fish shop on the Shankill Road in Belfast, murdered for simply being Protestant, there was always an alternative to this !!
We will remember them always and we won't ever let history be rewritten !

Murdered by cowardly terrorist scum, for what?
Remember @moneillsf has publicly claimed that the Irish Republican terrorists who carried out murders such as this had no alternative.
@MaryLouMcDonald has publicly claimed that their murderous campaign of violence was justified.

Sick
The creator of the 'Palestine poppy' is an Oxford-educated paediatrician who has written books for Muslim teenagers justifying stoning and warning that homosexuality is 'a test from Allah'.
Abdul Qader Ismail was accused of trying to 'hijack' Remembrance Day after he began selling an enamel pin shaped like a poppy in the colours of the Palestinian flag for £1.78 on eBay. The pin is listed as 'not for profit' with money being donated to Gaza charities.
The Spectator can now reveal that Ismail is an active member of Greens for Palestine and co-sponsored the group's 'Zionism is Racism' policy. He is also the author of a book series titled An Introduction to Challenging Topics for Muslim Teens.

West Belfast has had the highest recorded rate of antisocial behaviour of any Housing Executive area within Northern Ireland every year since 2021, figures from an NI Housing Executive survey have shown. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/area/…

When I suggested this last week, many on this platform mocked and ridiculed me, with some even calling for my resignation. They aren’t saying that today!
Dissident republicans may have mounted gun attacks on police had officers cleared a path for an Orange parade on the Garvaghy Road, the High Court has heard.

BREAKING: Stephen Nolan reporting that his "sources" within the PSNI have put it "beyond rumour" that "guns and petrol bombs" were available to Irish terrorists on or around the Garvaghy Road.
It was a "credible" threat.
That's why he asked to revoke the walk.

Daniel McCrossan more angry at Unionists for telling the truth than he is at Republicans for posing the threat in the first place. Madness 🤷🏻♂️

Watch this.
UK Mayor Burnham specifically states “the man responsible for the murder of Ann Widdecombe” in respect of Joshua Kerry”. Kerry has yet to be put on trial let alone convicted! This is a calamitous error from Burnham!
🇬🇧Alan Craig East Belfast retweeted
Andy Burnham has just made an outrageous statement at PMQs, potentially one of the worst gaffes I have ever witnessed from a Prime Minister.
He has presumed Joshua Kerry guilty of murdering Ann Widdecombe before he has even stood trial, live on national TV, for a global audience to witness.
These were his exact words, “could I start just by recognising, with the charges that have been laid against the individual responsible for the murder of Ann Widdecombe”
Read that again.
He didn't say the individual accused of her murder.
He said the individual responsible for her murder.
Whatever your views on Joshua Kerry, the public does not know all the facts. That is precisely why we have criminal trials.
A man is innocent until proven guilty. That principle applies to everyone, without exception.
Yet the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has just publicly spoken as though a man awaiting trial has already been convicted of murder.
For Andy Burnham to make such a serious error while discussing matter involving ongoing legal proceedings is deeply concerning.
