MI6 chief warns 'we are in a space between peace and war'. That space needs to be filled with prayer.

@margaret19500 @BBCMarkSimpson @BelTel 😳 Outed

@BBCMarkSimpson @BelTel I hear he is from the Catholic community. Is that true ??? 😜

No interviews yet with new Orange Order leader. 📌 But here’s an interview in @BelTel with Harold Henning in 2016. Talks about faith, family & the Orange Order. Best advice he has received: “Don't go looking for trouble, it will always come.” belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/…

In spite of Thatcher’s betrayal 40 years ago, a United Ireland is as far away as ever, no matter have much spin Nationalism claim otherwise. (In her memoirs Thatcher regretted signing the Agreement believing the assessment at the time describing it as "treachery" was correct.)

Remembrance Sunday Members of the Orange Institution across Northern Ireland and beyond will gather to honour the memory of the fallen. We will remember them.

@mylog56 We have members who have paid their debt to society for crimes committed - unlike some SF elected reps. People pigeon hole us through their own bigoted lenses.

@mervgib Mervyn replies to some here but never combats the fact that the OO is viewed as a bigoted & sectarian organisation that allows members of loyalist paramilitaries to join including the shankill butcher. Be good if Merv explained why he feels the OO is not what it is perceived as.

Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald said sectarian abuse is ‘never okay’, but there was no alternative to sectarian murder. 🤔

@mylog56 @PaisleyJnr In your head anyway

@mervgib @PaisleyJnr So why do unionist politicians and the OO have such a cosy relationship with loyalist paramilitaries? They may not condone murders outwardly but happy to include these thugs in unionist strategy. They are an integral part of the unionist community and accepted as such.

@thompson_l63915 We have never said murder was justified

@mervgib Am I reading this right? The hypocritical OO never had members who killed Catholics and are still a sectarian organisation even in 2025

@Paulineburns5 Better than belonging to a sectarian terrorist group of murderers. Separate question is RC church sectarian?

@mervgib Cliches? A man that’s existence is the OO, a sectarian institution in every sense of the word with a bleak history and sound track to match.

@Coolavin53 Facts don’t align with your assumptions, but be happy in your own little world

@mervgib The irony of someone who heads an organisation that has arcane anti catholic rules commenting on sectarianism is immense. When the state terrorises a section of its citizens based on their religious beliefs inevitably there will be a reaction against that oppression

@Paulineburns5 Can you explain or do you just argue in cliches

@mervgib You’re taking the piss, surely? Sectarian murders? Massive lack of self awareness right here Mervyn, pathetic desperation.

@feardeas And no United Ireland 🇬🇧

@mervgib No Orange order in the Áras thankfully. Sorry Mr Gibson

@tony_keeley Which was wrong

@mervgib Many loyalists engaged in murder also..

@PaisleyJnr Why you really bounced me into it - these murders were as wrong any Republican murder - no unionist politician has ever tried to justify these bombs .

@mervgib Why did Unionism choose 'no alternative' when the UVF bombed Dublin and Monaghan killing 33 people? You won't have the balls to answer this because you are a hypocrite.

@donegalgur35272 And your point is

@mervgib Dup Ulster Resistance Movement supplied guns to Billy Wright and Johnny Adair. Emma Pengelly's father, Noel Little is a convicted loyalist terrorist.

@patrick_se22286 Wise up - look at the facts not the propaganda

@mervgib Get of your high horse! You supported the British army and RUC when they where terrorising the nationalist community for years!

@GrayUsha All murder is wrong no matter who carries it out, but I believe there were also IRA gunmen active that day - no innocent person deserved to die that day.

@mervgib The Civil Rights Association marched in Derry on 30 January 1972 and rightfully demanded equality Mervyn. That was the alternative! It was met by state murder.🤔

@splancmc And your attempt to rewrite history and trot out the usual propaganda I’ll for their nothing. A terrorist is a terrorist with no equivocation to Crown forces.

@mervgib Mervyn you were a member of the RUC, a paramilitary group that was responsible for many sectarian murders. Let’s not forget that the paramilitary force had to be disbanded. This type of finger pointing in a single direction doesn’t get us anywhere.

@dustypats Your mummy must be very proud of you and your intelligent commentary

@mervgib Merv how about fuck off, your people are toxic cunts never happy.. The OO is never going to last and it’s out dated Until the OO is reformed there no seat at any table for them Simple
