@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.

@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 !!!

@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.

@deerfc1872 @squinteratn I walked proudly in that parade with a great bunch of friends. Some fantastic bands and Lambeg Drums on display enjoyed by tens of thousands of people

@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.

An interesting initiative.
Looking forward to when they ask the men dressed as dogs, being led about on all fours by a pensioner, why they’re at Pride.

@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.
English

@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.
English

@deerfc1872 You make my point more eloquently than I did, Dee.
GRMA.

@squinteratn You serious squinty while sinn fein ira commemorate and glorify terrorists every week eye for an eye we will take no lectures from terrorist scum no alternative

@banksy_n @darrenleckey @kulture_watch He hasn't been the same since Ben Habib's Advance Party retreated.

@Kscott_94 @BelTel Thank god those homes were there to keep the flames away from the crowd.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that no planning goes into these bonfires.
English

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.
English

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
English

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…
English

@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.
English

@squinteratn @kulture_watch HEY Squinter, you are responding to the most sectarian account on X, what was that you were saying about balance?
