In the Republic it's all smiles ,joy and noise WELCOMING POTUS while here in the north it' wass silence, dead streets, and joyless. Am utterly sick of the life being drained out of us by DUP; utterly sick of being held to ransom. If you're not gonna participate, go away.

A band parade closed off our village of 2,000 residents for over 4 hours last night. There was 1 local band and several bands from elsewhere: ditto, there were 2 local spectatirs. How can this be allowed. They stopped and continuously banged drums. Intimidating and threatening!

@BelfastRanger I'm intimidated when they stand outside my house banging 🥁 s, marching on the spot and thumping drums, changing places with another to see who can make the most noise, when my village is sealed off and I can't get out, when I don't feel safe; when this goes on for hours.

@naomi_long Naomi, why are more political representatives and journalists not discussing the enormous trade and economic benefits for the north due to its unique position? This has been allowed to become an identity issue. We need balanced views. We have opportunity to prosper.
