@mooreholmes24 Moore's evidence for Unionism being on the frontfoot TLDR: 1.Unionists went to white house for Irish celebration. 2. FM didn't go to a briefing about the Middle East. 3. Gerry Adams case withdrawn. 4. Students against the Irish language like Moore got outvoted in QUB.

“𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭” 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐬 A week in politics is hardly the measure of a movement. There are good days and bad, ups and downs. But if the past seven days tell us anything, it’s this: Unionism isn’t on the back foot anymore, it’s setting the pace. Confident, visible, and stepping onto the global stage. And it’s about time people started recognising it. When Sinn Fein and Alliance refused to cross the Atlantic for a diplomatic engagement with the US, assuming Sinn Fein were going to be invited in the first place (big assumption), the goal was left wide open for Unionists to make inroads on the international scene. They successfully seized the opportunity. By accepting an invitation to The White House, Unionists represented Northern Ireland’s interests, engaging with some of the most powerful people in the world. They shared the stage with global leaders, encouraged investment into our economy and, from the outside looking in, made a very positive impression. As Unionists made their presence felt in America, a Loyalist band led from the front back home, quite literally. For the first time ever, the annual Saint Patrick parade in Belfast was led by the sound of flutes and drums. The ever impressive Imperial Guards spearheaded the procession, serenading the St Patrick’s crowd with traditional Loyalist music. It has been part of a growing reclamation of the British dimension to the St Patrick story, one historically, and mistakenly, monopolised by Irish Nationalism. Again, it serves as another example of an outward looking confidence within the Unionist community, courageously stepping outside its comfort zone, unashamed of who it is and what it stands for. Whether across the Atlantic or at traditionally one-sided events closer to home, Unionism is finished with sitting on the fringes. Inaccurately characterised by bad actors as backward, often by the most narrow-minded and toxic of critics. Where Unionism is succeeding, however, their opponents are struggling. This week alone we have witnessed the infamous sectarian slogan, “Kill All Huns” spray painted across residential walls in Short Strand and the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall in Londonderry. Nationalist figures felt compelled to comment on neither. At a higher level, Sinn Féin’s former President Gerry Adams has been in the dock denying IRA membership. What stood out most wasn’t the bottomless pit of evidence against him, but how many Republicans have now turned on him. The daughter of Brendan Hughes condemned him, wishing her father’s face would “haunt him,” while others branded Adams a “liar”, “traitor” and “coward.” This comes straight on the heels of self-styled “First Minister for All” Michelle O’Neill refusing to attend UK security briefings on the Middle East. At a time when thousands of British and Irish citizens could be affected, she chose to sit it out, citing political disagreement. A complete dereliction of duty from someone who holds the highest office in the country. It doesn’t paint a pretty picture. All Nationalism seems to offer right now are manufactured cultural grievances around the Irish language and the GAA, and overwrought perspectives on global affairs that they have no ability to change. The betterment of Northern Ireland and all of its people never sounds like a priority. More time is spent imagining a future most of the country does not want and supporting initiatives that pit communities against one another. That’s not confidence. It’s a victimhood driven agenda sustained by distraction and not delivery. Even this week’s Irish Language referendum at Queen’s University proves the point. It demonstrated, above all else, complete apathy and widespread disengagement with one of Nationalisms key hobby horses. Out of 25,000 students, only 5,000 took part in the vote, raising serious questions about both its mandate and if there is a genuine interest in the Irish language issue.

@RacistRanni @D11SaysNo By destroying houses that you say should go to "native Irish" you stupid cunt.

@hmackers @D11SaysNo We're getting them out you fucking retard

Finglas south

@JamieBrysonLLB You do realise that this also means an extremely meagre 1.6% of QUB students who voted against are the group you insist to be representative of the whole, right?

Here is the true figure behind the propaganda from the aggressive and divisive Irish language lobby. A mere 18% of QUB students support the unwanted imposition of Irish language signage.

🇵🇸We have finished distributing Eid clothing to a number of children in Gaza, but the needs of the displaced are still great, and with the continuation of the difficult conditions, our relief work is threatened with stopping due to the lack of donations. chuffed.org/project/169517

@detgrim @thelastround67 @stephenehorn Point to the African/Indian/Romanian/Polish/Ukrainian/Chinese e.t.c. armed forces that are currently slaughtering Irish people and declaring a new state on the island that make it worse than what the English did here. If not, shut the fuck up.

@thelastround67 @stephenehorn Right, third world migration is unfathomably worse

There are two countries on the island of Ireland because of immigration 400 years ago And we're just supposed to pretend like modern-day immigration cannot have deep and long-lasting consequences?

I’m sorry, but how are 800+ people dead in Lebanon and the world isn’t even flinching?

@Eirealainn2024 @NYCMayor

As an Irishman who lives in the West of Ireland, who's ancestors are all of Irish blood .....I mean this from the bottom of my heart ...... I fucking hate you and all you stand for and all who stand with you ...... So from the island of Ireland ...FUCK YOU COMMIE And to everybody else .....

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@cherken80 @OdohertyI64991 Yeah, dipshit. If he chose to return to Ireland, then he fucking migrated.

@OdohertyI64991 All the lefties trying to rewrite history to defend their precious migrants …. ‘He wasn’t a slave’… ‘well he originally arrived as a slave… but then…he returned’ We have so many shameful left retards 🙄

Ffs. He wasn't a 'migrant'. He was a slave.

@markhumphrys Israel is also defended by rapists. That is not opinion. That is a fact. Israel's military drops prosecution of reservists who allegedly raped Palestinian detainee - ABC News share.google/CESNjkXUxqrzr3…

@hmackers Israel was invaded by the military leaders of Gaza, who are jihadi rapists. That is not opinion. That is a fact.

As an Irishman, 🇮🇪 I find it racist to compare Irish people, and my suffering Irish ancestors, to modern Islamic jihadi rapists. Travel back to the Famine and tell those Irish people you identify with Mohammadan holy warriors. They would think you had a mental illness.

@OdohertyI64991 And yet Da Bronx just elected a pro-Palestinian Muslim to be their Mayor instead of the Zionist sex pest. Ah, New York. It's the greatest city on earth if Ian ignores the majority that don't agree with him.

Benny Blanco from Da Bronx ain't havin' no Palestinian bullshit. Ah, New York. Greatest city on earth.

@OdohertyI64991 You'll of course ignore the difference between them saying Pro-Palestine in the arts and being "Jewish" in the arts when they should have said Pro-Israel in the arts.

Well said.

@coolcshaw @iJordanMoore "Ireland treats Irish Americans like complete dogshit..." *Follows with racist shite that proves we're right to do so.*

@iJordanMoore Ireland treats Irish Americans like complete dogshit...while their govt openly embraces unfettered immigration from the 3rd world.

Why doesn’t Ireland have a baseball team? Italy just grabbed a bunch of guys from Jersey and called it a national roster. Ireland could walk through Southie in Boston on a Saturday and field a full lineup by noon.

@Lionbliss @grok @Blood_Talon1 @crawlings13 "Hey Grok, show me examples of the American Dream becoming true in the last 10 years that justifies the dog shit salaries the majority of people are living with!" Grok: Lists two billionaires. "Ha! Thanks Grok, can't let the pessimists bring us down!"

@grok @Blood_Talon1 @crawlings13 Thanks fam, can’t let pessimism win. 🇺🇸

Americans are the only people I know who talk about being overworked wage slaves like it's a flex

@arleneseesit @CarlDuffy117549 @newsoncool @jamesgould23 @SDLPlive @ClaireHanna @MatthewOToole2 NI does not have low cost of living or low cost housing what the fuck are you talking about.

@CarlDuffy117549 @newsoncool @jamesgould23 @SDLPlive @ClaireHanna @MatthewOToole2 NI is part of UK, not a statelet. NI is a prosperous basket case with low cost of living, low cost housing and a free at point of use health service. A UI, now there is a real basket case, privatised medicine, expensive housing & an aspiration for UK, US, EU paying for a UI.

⁉️🗣WATCH: 'We want to reframe the North. Not as just some pity party, basket-case, loser place.' 🎥🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to @SDLPlive Leader @ClaireHanna, alongside Stormont Opposition Leader @MatthewOToole2. Claire Hanna was asked about a new document from the party which aims to “prepare for a new Ireland.” The proposals, set out in the “Success by Design” document, explore the potential economic benefits of what that new Ireland could look like, according to the party. Just months ago, the Secretary of State told Chief Reporter James Gould there was no appetite for constitutional change here. Claire Hanna says those comments were raised directly with Hilary Benn.

@TeamUnion_UK @mooreholmes24 Except the Scottish cup, you won't be winning that.

Jamie reached a million people yesterday with his "information," just with his Twitter account... add in the quote tweets... the numbers were astronomical, and perhaps we can't,alone, win the global information war .. but we can win in our own theatre... our own war. And win it we will! 👑+🇬🇧

Identifying truth from deceit, facts from propaganda, and reality from agenda has never been so difficult. The mainstream media is no longer trusted. Politicians even less so. So how do we get our information about the world? How do we sieve through the nonsense, wash away the bias, and try to work out what is really going on? Many have given up trying, adopting a more agnostic view of the world. Perhaps we will never know what is really happening. The truth, if it exists at all, is buried somewhere beneath the rubble. Others prefer not to complicate things. What is true is simply what is advantageous, beneficial, or supportive of my side of the argument. Anything to the contrary must therefore be false and dismissed. It is a generational crisis, and it comes at a cost to society. The credulous are vulnerable to misinformation and easily exploited. They can be stirred into frenzies and protests at a moment’s notice. The critical, meanwhile, are drowned out by partisanship. Sophistication is boring and unpopular. It is dismissed as elitist. Soundbites and provocative summaries are far more effective the fast food of political commentary. Then there are the mischievous. They have never had it so good. If you want to tell a lie, you can send it halfway around the world before the truth has even got its shoes on. A school was bombed in Iran. Was the school actually bombed, or was something targeted nearby? A legitimate military target perhaps? Was it the United States, Israel, or Iran itself? How many people died? How do we know? Can we trust Iranian officials? Can we trust American officials? Will the media report it impartially? Will it be reported factually, or filtered through an agenda? Perhaps both. The war of information has been raging long before bombs began falling in the Middle East. It is one I fear we are all destined to lose.

@Ibrox82 @kennybhoy21

@kennybhoy21 Handle a you biggest rivals??? Speak normally retard n you may have a point. Just another uneducated retarded catholic. Off ye go now you illiterate cunt

Never let them near Ibrox again. Dirty verminous animals.

@NewsCop9000 @vanbattenburg20 @rtenews @PresidentIRL oireachtas.ie/ga/debates/que… This only took me ten seconds, dipshit.

@vanbattenburg20 @rtenews Nothing. She said absolutely nothing until the strikes began. The Iranian regime murdered between three and 30,000 people and @PresidentIRL was silent. Only when America, who she hates, and Israel, who she hates, acted did she speak.

President Catherine Connolly has described the situation in the Middle East as a "deliberate assault on international law" rte.ie/news/2026/0308…
