A crowd of UVF gangsters go into an area to violently intimidate a family- police do nothing. Relatives of those massacred on the Ormeau Road in1992 lay flowers to commemorate their loved ones and the PSNI move in aggressively and arrest a victim who was shot during the massacre

One of the first actions of the new British Secretary of State has been to sign a PII certificate to conceal information on the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe! He should read the files and withdraw the use of conflict gagging orders in the case of this innocent child’s death.

It is the DUP who are blocking implementation on movement on flags and emblems. They wouldn’t even agree baby steps like no flags outside hospitals or places of worship or schools. Who could disagree with that?

20 year old Taylor Mc Grann about to be declared elected as the first Sinn Féin councillor in Macedon. Brilliant candidate who is already working for the people. Comhghairdeas 👍👏🎉

Yet another vile and abhorrent threat has been made against journalist Patricia Devlin and her child on her Facebook. Whoever is behind these threats needs pursued and brought before the courts. It is the only way to stop them.
