    No comments to be made on the bigotry on display at the annual bonfires no?

    The same Arlene Foster who has been cozying up to UDA sectarian murderers for years?

    Are we meant to forget that just six months ago the UK were arresting pensioners for the horrific crime of supporting Palestine Action? The idea that this will will be used for anything other than cracking down on the left is absurd.

  4. Let’s hope it’s applied across the board? Instead of in this VERY narrow view of the world, Arlene uses.

    I can not say it but can I think it? Yes? Then I think Up the RA

    That’s their world cup dreams gone once they arrest Deccie Rice

    That’ll be the last we hear of ‘Rule Brittannia’ so too, I suppose.

    Codswallop.

    What about Hup the Ra…would that still be allowed?

    Your man Dennis Rogan;

    >He added that on St Patrick’s Day, he came across “five young people on the Tube dressed with tricolours and shouting ‘Up the Ra, up the Ra, up the Ra’, which only means support for the IRA”.

    Does he really think that anything productive would be achieved by throwing these kids in jail? Like, their minds are going to be changed? The sentiment would just be ingrained and the backlash would be more of what they’re trying to stop. What’s the point in heavy-handed repression? People feel threatened by ideas they strongly disagree with so the right move is to institute a police state? Not to mention satire, artistic expression etc.

    Absolute head-the-balls.

    Its getting very noticable how far the neighbors are drifting away. When you take the decision to ban phrases that target a minority you look down upon while also denying the same group justice for historical crimes your society is in a bad place. They really are returning to an ugly version of themselves.

    The irony will arrive when the 12th of July bonfires become hate acts. And the not like that unionists stop eating their crayons.

    Never realised Arlene foster still existed, never mind was in any way relevant in the political sphere

  13. “”People have a right to say nasty things” – Arlene Foster

    “There’s not a law against offending people,”- Arlene Foster

    In reference to Kneecap Foster said “I live rent free in their heads”. I doubt that’s true and ironically she did work in a office, rent free for seven years. The office was owned by a senior member of the Orange Order who was exposed as being at the centre of an Orange Order plot to buy up farms in border areas to keep them out of Catholic hands.

    Go to an Irish pub and Liverpool and try arrest them, see what happens . Good luck arresting the entire pub

    Can we now criminalise the sectariansm, bigotry and terrorist support happening at bonfires, marches and bands?

    Add rampant drug use to that as well.

    As a Northern nationalist I always find it amusing how heavy handed the British establishment/Stormont is with republicanism in comparison to loyalism.

    IRA poster/flag in the Bog? Condemened and taken straight down.

    Auld Pensioner wearing Palestine action shirt? Arrested immediately and brought to jail.

    UDA/UVF flags? Dead on lads keep those flying high

    Annual hate fest? Let those Bonnie’s burn with 100s of Irish flags and effigies

    Orange March? Let them walk past that nationalist area while blearing they’re up to their knees in fenian blood.

    You just have to laugh at the absurdity of it.

  17. Important to remember that during bonfire season loyalists proudly display the phrase “Kill All Taigs” with zero reprecussions.

    I expect nothing less from the woman who refused to let Catholic school children sit beside her on the school bus back when she was at school. Ask me how I know…SMFH

    They’ve become very vocal since that they’ve teamed up with Israel.

    Soon they’ll be up to their old tricks again creating fake IRA militias to push draconian laws.

    >“Those who lived in Northern Ireland through the Troubles know that Sinn Féin/IRA was the most hideous terrorist group—reduced to ‘Ra’.”

    Really now? The IRA were the most hideous? The statistics don’t seem to support that.
    Roughly 30-35% of people killed by the PIRA were civilians. Compared to 70-80% by the UDA and UVF.
    Most civilians killed during the troubles were killed by Unionists. Though Republicans killed more people overall, the majority were combatants.
