@squinteratn Ok Robin since we are on first name Terms, I’ve travelled extensively, why I’ve even been to Dublin on numerous occasions. The evil deeds of the IRA will never be forgotten nor neither should they be. You just don’t like being reminded.

I’ve fled the hate and racism and I’m seeking asylum in Sligo. The place has been very good to me and there appear to be other refugees. It all seems terribly familiar.

@squinteratn Coming from someone that asked me to visit them whilst wearing a balaclava now you want my identity lol You still haven't answered my question around that either. Is the balaclava something you can relate too from your past ?? I found it strange that you brought that one up !!!

Jesus. Gisèle Pelicot was drugged/gang-raped for 10 years. Her husband Dominique and 50 co-accused were jailed. Sandy Row graffiti calls Gisele a salope/slut and calls for the freeing of her husband. 'N****rs' and 'P***s' also targeted. A fitting end to a long weekend of hate.

@RbinmanRichard Congrats. You are by some distance the thickest Englishman I've come across in close to 40yrs in Belfast journalism. You know so little about this city it makes my back teeth hurt. Off you go now back where you belong and have a Greggs and a Newkie, or whatever you do there.

@GarethW24737140 @deerfc1872 As I said, Gareth, work away. I have no doubt the vast majority of people, like you, had a great day. And that the vast majority of people, like you, saw nothing wrong with having the Clarke tribute band there. Just don't lecture others about memorialising the IRA. Easy-peasy.

1/4 The Royal Hillsborough Orange parade has been held up today as a paragon of rural loyal probity. Many of the great and good of unionism put up sunny selfies. GB News covered it live. Marching in Hillsborough today was the Noel Clarke Mem. FB. Who was Noel Clarke? Let’s see…

@mgtruth I have said this a good few times now, Ruth. There is no group more bitter, angry and personally vindictive than the transphobe zealots. Crazy stuff. And now that so many of the best-known figures are moving far right, cognitive dissonance increases the toxicity.

@NoInnrMonologue Thanks, Chief. And there was me thinking it was a real mosque. Now that you've put me right, perhaps as a god-fearing Christian you can comment on the actual incident.

@darrenleckey @Gtmag11 @kulture_watch 1. You mean your tsunami posting. 2. I had no idea that responding to an account made it mine. 3. If the clip is fake I'll apologise and delete, as long as you agree to say it's horrible sectarian shite if it's real.

@Gtmag11 @squinteratn @kulture_watch He responded to my previous posts, in relation to Sinn Fein, but has no problems with the content of the account he is responding to, that is his hypocrisy.

Fire crews stretched tonight across greater Belfast. At least five appliances have been deployed to the Village Bonfire in south Belfast after it collapsed in the direction of homes. Fire crews, here now battling to cool nearby properties. @BelTel Elsewhere, fire crews have attended the following bonfires: Comber Road - Newtownards Rathcoole Sandy Row Larne - Craigyhill Love Lane - Carrickfergus Whitehead Tigers Bay Fourtowns - Ballymena

@atrupar He says he was misquoted about saying defeating Iran would take a ground invasion. He's totally fine with his claim that it would take the bombing of civilian targets. Completely on-message for the biggest and most relentless killing machine in the history of mankind.

COLLINS: When you were home recently, you said that for Iran to get to a place of total capitulation, it would 'take the bombing of civilians targets and even a ground invasion.' SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I was misquoted if I said it would take a ground invasion. We're going to have to bomb dual purpose targets, whether it's refineries or bridges, and whenever you start doing that civilians are going to die

There are still stories about effigies or posters being placed on bonfires, which the Orange Order does not organise, Overwhelmingly, though, the most striking thing about recent Twelfths is how uncontentious they have become, thanks to the OO's hard work spectator.com/article/britai…

@darrenleckey @kulture_watch Are you saying it’s a fake clip? If it is I’ll apologise and delete. If it’s not you need to worry about the people singing and playing the hate and not those putting up the proof.
