I am appalled and disgusted @duponline and @uuponline tonight as they have just misused a Petition of Concern to prevent democracy on the Justice Bill. Time to reform the institutions or it will be time to say this place is a political failure.

Military age men of an alien culture travelling by boat to Ireland to engage in an orgy of violence. Enough is enough

#OnThisDay 14th June 1690 King William III landed in Carrickfergus to confront the former King James II. 🇬🇧

@SJAMcBride They view the Bel Tel as hostile to their side similar to the BBC. To think otherwise is asinine

You can hear the full unedited audio of loyalist paramilitaries (unsuccessfully) ordering me out of 'their' area, with film footage shot by the Sky News helicopter capturing part of the incident. These are the people we need to reject - not foreign nurses.

Long read on Northern Ireland’s week of chaos: What it’s like inside a riot, being threatened by paramilitaries at a 'peaceful protest', being assaulted by a masked man, and why we can expect this to return again and again and again.

Under no circumstances should Unity be voted AGAINST. A united ireland, no matter how raped and denationalised is a good thing. It makes the job of any irish nationalist movement much easier if the entire country is one jurisdiction, and removes a significant stumbling block.

I hate to say it but if there is a referendum on unification and the proposal for unification is not good enough then be prepared to vote against it like Cyprus in 2004.

@dd0wney @ui_sinead Yes yes everything is the Brits fault. Perennial victims

@dd0wney @ui_sinead Funny irish people don't tend to speak Irish either

@worstedwander @ui_sinead Ní labhraíonn na Sasanaigh Gaeilge. Bhí, mar a deirtear, 300 bliain acu Gaeilge a fhoghlaim.

@worstedwander Youre under the wrong post pet. Making stuff up is right on brand though.

Asylum seekers are not “illegal migrants”
They’re going through a legal government process.
That’s legal.
Burning out houses, inciting violence, tweeting racism.
That’s not legal.

@williamcrawley The issue always has and will be about legal migration

Belfast ranks 32nd per capita for asylum seekers in the UK.
Northern Ireland hosts 2,379 in total. That’s 0.1% of its population.
NI is 97% white.
Asylum seekers are not “illegal migrants”; they’re going through a legal government process.

Belfast houses more asylum seekers per capita than almost any other place in the UK. One in 200 people in Belfast is an illegal migrant. Who could possibly have foreseen civil unrest? It’s the immigration, stupid.

I’m sorry, but I have to laugh at the remarks of TUV politician decrying the fact that a “violent foreign culture” has been imported into Ireland (Northeastern end) against the wishes of the people.
English
The entity of Northern Ireland is a failed experiment that creates violent conditions for those who live here.
The land and the people are some of the most beautiful, welcoming and hospitable that you will find anywhere in the world.

Not gonna lie but Northern Ireland sounds like an absolutely horrible place. And sounds like it’s been an absolutely horrible place for a very, very long time.

I find it baffling when people talk about honour then say they want to stand with British Army veterans who are accused of murdering innocent civilians. How does that make any sense?
Al Carns@AlistairCarns
We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM below.🫡🫡🫡⬇️⬇️

I've been to Northern Ireland several times and have always felt comfortable in the Catholic, pro Ireland areas.
The Protestant, unionist areas on the other hand are full of aggressive racists. Not everybody of course, but far too many of them.
Pro British, pro Israeli pond life. These are the people disgracing the image of Northern Ireland in the eyes of the world right now.

My whole life, I have been fiercely proud to be from Belfast, in spite of all of its troubles.
It’s hard to be proud today.
