I tweeted a screenshot of Irish nationalists mocking the murder of Mountbatten & 4 others yesterday (the dead included 2 children) & asked nationalists/republicans to condemn it.
Not one did. Not one.
Hatred & bigotry is interwoven into the very fabric of Irish nationalism!
What goes through the heads of some people? Do they not know that every vile chant, every sectarian song, gives our enemies ammunition to attack us?
Sectarian incidents involving Irish nationalists are quickly forgotten. Those involving non-nationalists are NEVER forgotten.
The EU and UK need to make significant compromises on the NI Protocol, otherwise Northern Ireland faces "sustained political instability, poor economic performance, heightened community tension and a real risk of trouble spilling onto the streets.”

A quick reminder that the Provisional IRA *are also unelected* but continue to direct Sinn Fein according to recent assessments from security services in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
@JamieBrysonCPNI PSNI being played with like rag dolls.
All cleverly orchestrated by Republicans to prove the streets are indeed lawless, only a week after a report showed the PSNI to be Un-confrontational, will stay away so they don't offend or rock that Peace Process boat!
Masked Republicans firing shots once again in Londonderry. It seems the ‘event’ was one again facilitated by PSNI.
One can only imagine the media outcry & PSNI response if such events took place in a loyalist community.
The Alliance Party now taking jibes at Edwin Poots for his creationist beliefs, don’t see how they can justify this at all, would targeting anyone else for their religious beliefs be tolerated in 2021? There are plenty of legitimate criticisms without resorting to bigotry.
@JamieBrysonCPNI Clearly this is a breach of her ministerial office as the deputy first minister of the Northern Ireland, British executive. Can we expect sanctions against her support and glorification of terrorism.
@JamieBrysonCPNI Many unionists across ulster, Central to their faith and heritage is the Torah and the prophets popularly know as the Old testament. On this alone they are entitled to Israeli citizenship.
@alexjonesAM1@HoratioNelson0 Created, armed, financed, trained and let their territory be used as a safe base to carry out terrorism from. Why is the everyday presence of the Dublin government in Ulster not opposed by political unionism.
Will we see an inquest into the Shankill bomb? Who gave the order? Patsy Gillespie? Who gave the order? Bloody Friday? Who gave the order?
Of course we won't.
Very disappointed to see the images of this immature act of vandalism.
The overwhelming majority of people in Antrim wish to live side by side with their neighbours in respect of one another’s differences.
There's a wee spot in Europe
It's a place of great fame
It lies to the to the northland
And Ulsters it's name
We have only 6 countries
But oh what renown
And it's emblem is
the red hand
Topped by the Queens crown.
If the Protocol was opposed by Republicans the British and Irish governments would be tripping over themselves to address their concerns, but because they are raised by Unionists and Loyalists they are dismissed and derided.
