The death has taken place in Derry of Liam Hillen, who, on January 5th 1969, picked up, a paintbrush and wrote "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" on a wall in the Bogside. ,
Andrew Tate to Conor McGregor:
“My grandfather is from Limerick. I have the Irish passport. I will vote for you. We must do something before it’s too late.”
A majority of the UN delegates who walked out of the Assembly yesterday
were black or brown, Most who sat on to listento the foam-flecked hate-speech of Netanyahu were white. The Irish delegation took sides with the Whites. Why? Who decided this? I think we should be told.
“We’re going to fight racism not with racism, we’re going to fight it with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with Black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” —Fred Hampton
We will never forget the way football allowed itself to be used to promote the idea that to die by gunshot in a useless war is the finest play under the sun.
Today’s Moville “welcome migrants” meeting was thrilling. Methodist Hall packed with positivity. Every speaker offering practical help. A triumphant response to hatred.
C'mon, Hanna. Apologise. Calling Ian Paisley a gobshite is implicitly to insult decent gobshites everywhere. Stick to neutral language in future. A liar, a hypocrite, a crook and a hateful wee sectarian bastard.
There should be no return to Stormont without an Assembly election. Parties which did nothing but manoeuvre for advantage for three wasted years should not automatically be handed back seats.
Let the people speak!
I see that the suppurating Paisley, having plundered the public purse for personal aggrandisement, has now taken to ripping off charities so he can live the high life. The only reason he’s still standing is that he’s propped up by dirt.
Absolutely. This is, possibly, the best film ever made about revolution in Ireland, a beautiful, eloquent, Marxist take on the fight for freedom everywhere. Which is so many fake-left humbuggers would much like you to pay it no heed.
There's a lot of international hype around Cillian Murphy at the minute over

Some of you may be familiar with 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley' — it's the personal view of the admin that it is 1 of the best films to grapple with the question of Permanent Revolution
The fact that we reach 2020 with abortion decriminalised North and South is the most significant, thrilling and transformative political event of the past decade and the greatest step forward towards an Ireland of equals.
Michael Jackson literally wrote the Bloody Sunday cover-up, concocting the paras’ statements in his own hand, and then perjuring himself twice about it to Saville. He should be in prison.
I was sitting in the stand at a Derry City match in the Brandywell when the President of Ireland, Michael D, Higgins, came up the steps and asked club legend Eddie Mahon and myself whether it would be OK for him to take the seat beside us. Now that’s style.

1.Aoife Moore, the young journalist from Derry is under pretty vicious attack from the usual bigoted anti-northerner trolls but also from many of the Irish pseudo-intellectuals and bought journalists who masquerade as our betters.
What’s happening in Gaza is not comparable with what the British army perpetrated in Belfast and Derry. The Gazans are subjected to Bloody Sunday every day of the week. A sense of perspective would be useful here.
This is comparable to the British Army laying complete waste to West Belfast & Derry in pursuit of the IRA back in the day. Imagine what the Americans would have had to say. This, below, is one huge war crime.
There are members of the policing board who insist they 100 percent support the demand for publication of all the evidence on the murder of Noah Donohue. So why are still on the policing board?
Now that the Royals have scampered off to their various country mansions, Buckingham Palace should be requisitioned by the State and handed over to the NHS.
It’s said that, even now, Paisley would be reelected by people who’d vote for a donkey with a union flag attached to its tail. That people around Ballymena are so bedazzled by tribal loyalty they couldn’t break away from this degenerate dirtbird? Is this not sectarian in itself?
Christine, All in the North are as proud as punch of Carl. He has carried the flag - no matter what flag you favour - with more dignity that any of our political leaders over the past year.
Let us remember on the 49th anniversary of Bloody Sunday that Saville, despite an abundance of evidence, refused to ascribe blame to anyone the British ruling class felt it would have to defend. The “poor bloody infantry” ditched after doing the dirty work. Same as ever it was.
When it comes to a woman’s right to choose, the SDLP has been impaled on the fence for so long they could be torn neatly in half along the perforations.
So a a couple of hundred anti-maskers gather in Derry’s Guildhall Square on Saturday. About the same number as for the BLM protest on a June 6th. But no cop intervention this time, no condemnation from any major party, nobody fined/brought to court. Is it because they are black?
Just after 11am this morning a Belfast to Dublin bus was boarded by Gardaí just over the border in ROI. The Guards didn't even go through the pretence of requiring everyone's ID, they simply targeted non-white passengers.
No to racial profiling.
Northern Ireland, the Six Counties, Ulster, the North. Derry, Londonderry, Doire Colmcille, Lovely Derry, the Maiden City. I sit up all night worrying,
It's an observable fact that only British party leader who got it right on Afghanistan was Jeremy Corbyn. But that is scarcely mentioned in any of the explanatory features in the MSM. Virtually without exception, they facilitated the catastrophe they now wring their hands about.
Why do interviewers not put the squeeze on every DUP representative who comes along to say whether they approve of Paisley’s insatiable greed for public money and whether they will call on him to resign? By indulging Paisley they are condoning corruption, every one of them.
Woman who chuckled at Gadafi bayonet-raped to death, saw mass torturer Mubarak as "a family friend", took stolen millions from the ruling ghouls of loathsome dictatorships, covered up husband's rape of Juanita Broaddrick, now honoured by Belfast uni. Only extremists would object.
Hillary Clinton is to be the new chancellor of Queen's University, but her connection to Northern Ireland stretches back over two decades. Read more here:
It is the right of every sovereign nation to democratically decide it’s own future. We must not bend to external pressure and interference to fracture so fundamentally our sovereign rights, constitutional integrity & market to protect the political philosophy & market of another
Protest tomorrow Monday at 5pm, Capita offices, Strand Road, Derry. After several reports detailing Capita failings in processing PIP applications, the contact should not be renewed. Rather, the whole process should be brought into the public sector as in Scotland.
Please watch I Daniel Blake. It realistically depicts the true horror of the benefits system under Tory regime. A chronically sick man forced to look for work and a young mother forced into prostitution. This is happening across UK. Grotesque 😤

Bogside inscription "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" was based on "You Are Now Entering Free Berkeley" placard during Free Speech occupation. Bishop Berkeley, who gave his name to the college, had once been Dean of Derry. We all fight for one another, even when we don't know it.
These are all young Derry people, the brightest and best in these islands by a country mile. Only Starmer coming into their midst could make them look as depressed and miserable as they seem here. Starmer can suck the joy out of life without trying.
As I remarked a while ago, when we have our freedom, all citizens will be required under pain of desperate punishment to be able to sing all the words of Teenage Kicks.
"Sinn Fein in government worked "every day...to improve the lot of the people", Mairtin O Muilleoir tells Nolan. That would include the day you all walked into the lobbies to usher in Universal Credit?
Seriously: Is it not astonishing that Adams figures today in virtually every Irish media outlet but not a single mention of his role in covering up sex abuse?
If Stormont were reanimated under present circumstances, Arlene Foster would be First Minister, Michelle O'Neill dFM, the RHI report unpublished, party strengths on the Hill frozen at 2016 levels. Anybody cheering for that outcome? We need an election. Let the people speak!
It would appropriate on the day that’s in it to have a thought for Mairia Cahill and the many other rape victims who have had to suffer the added trauma of watching powerful people defending the perpetrators and then mocking them by showing up to flaunt their banners on IWD.
Majella O'Hare was 12 YEARS OLD when she was shot twice in the back and killed by a para but I imagine Karen Bradley thinks that was a DIGNIFIED and APPROPRIATE action.
To express hostility to the British Royal family and all that it stands for is not to show a negative attitude of any sort to British people or to any section of the people of Northern Ireland. Down with monarchy!
Important context - This “Michael O’Keefe” is not in fact Irish but is an immigrant from England claiming Irish ancestry. Has he been vetted? I wouldn’t think so. He should be deported pending independent scrutiny.
I spoke to an American tourist today who hadn't visited Ireland since 2019.
This is what she said..
"Taxi driver from the airport wasn't Irish.
The doorman at the hotel wasn't Irish.
The receptionist wasn't Irish.
We went for a quick drink, and barstaff weren't Irish.
Disagreed with Francie Brolly a thousand times. But we sat close in Fr. McLinchey's class, played music together, on a personal level always got on. He wrote the best rebel song of the Troubles. I'm not aware of him ever saying a bitter personal word. Condolences to Anne and Joe.
He has not left it a bit late. He’s not suddenly going after the Jewish vote. MmCorbyn has issued a statement of solidarity with the Jewish people at Hanukkah every year for many years. But so many lying liars have lied about him that the truth has virtually been smothered.
People Before Profit is the only party in the 100-year history of Stormont to put forward a proposal - the Trades Union Freedom Bill - for strengthening the hand of trades unions.
What she should have said: "I pledge that Ireland will never again allow itself to be used as a staging post for US bombers en route to obliterating other peoples" T

Simon Byrne is a PR disaster for the PSNI. His Crossmaglen pic follows his idiotic threat to take kids off paramilitary parents. He just doesn't get this place, and he never will. He hasn't a hope in hell of reversing the trend of falling nationalist support for his force.
Over the years, I have made a couple of hundred English friends. By no means a unanimously Left-wing bunch. But not one of them, not a single one, would voice such abject obeisance towards the Queen.
The SF members who spread filth about Ms. Cahill included a number of women who now parade their feminist credentials and have been even been known to advertise their "Trust Women" stance.

This is a woman who cackled with laughter at the torture to a death of Gadaffi. Described Egyptian dictator Sisi as a “family friend.” Never saw a US war that she didn’t gleefully support. A great friend of our Peace Process.

One reason SF is so nervous of the Mairia Cahill case if that it wasn't only in Belfast that the party protected abusers. Would it be sexist for a man to suggest that it's time women in SF spoke up?
