Irish citizens pull support for Biden's presidential campaign over Gaza stance No son of Ireland, aware of their own history of subjugation and colonisation would support Israeli war crimes and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
DUP, having opposed marriage equality, women’s health rights, an Irish language act, integrated education and much more now reveal their election slogan. “Moving Forward Together” . The irony of it all is lost on them.
If Naomi Long or Michelle O'Neill told as many blatant lies as Jeffrey Donaldson the media would be screaming with anger and outrage. The silence is deafening.
BBC/UTV and the pro-unionist media are so transparent in their reporting of Féile, focusing only on kids chanting, but when it comes to OO parades they gloss over sectarian songs, paramilitary flags and banners. They are a big part of the problem in this sectarian statelet.
Northern Ireland was established as a Unionist state which no longer exists and where Unionists refuse to share governance, which begs the question, what is the point of Northern Ireland ?
Leo’s argument is a vote for Sinn Féin will result in the forced emigration that has been the trademark of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil for over 100 years.
That's desperation for you.
As nationalist leaders visit Australia and the US to speak about their vision of a new Ireland, the leader of unionism visits an orange hall to remember 1690.
The DUP have nothing to offer the North. No future, no vision, no leadership. Young people won't be swayed any more by their tribal, sectarian war cries. They're the past.
The dogs in the street know what the Nolan show is about. Stirring up sectarian division. BBC orders ‘content’ review of Stephen Nolan radio show in North amid nationalist boycott
I took Jeffrey Donaldson’s advice and read a history book Thousands driven from their work, homes burnt, innocent people murdered by uniformed thugs, that’s the history of this unionist sectarian statelet.
The 12th of July and Belfast closes down for a celebration of sectarian triumphalism.
The 30th of July and Belfast is open and vibrant celebrating the diversity of our city.
The bigoted past versus the inclusive future.
As an Irish citizen in a part of Ireland still ruled by Britain and with another celebration of a sovereign we don't want or care for it's worth quoting Seamus Heaney
Be advised my passport’s green.
No glass of ours was ever raised
to toast the Queen.
Why have the DUP given up on Stormont ? Simply because they’re no longer the biggest party and Michelle O’Neill is first minister. It’s all about Unionist supremacy.
800,000 watched the All Ireland Football final on BBCNI two weeks after 50,000 watched the Twelfth on GB News. BBC got it right dumping the hatefest then ?
1933 and Basil Brooke wouldn't have a Catholic about the place. 2022 and Jeffrey Donaldson won’t work with a nationalist First Minister. That’s Unionism moving forward together then ?
The DUP have railed against London, Dublin, Brussels, and Washington to distract from their self imposed Irish Sea border. So who are they moving forward together with ?
You know there’s an election coming up when BBCNI and UTV lackeys salivate when asking Sinn Féin members to condemn IRA violence , yet never once ask unionist politicians to condemn RUC, UDR, UDA, UVF or British army atrocities.
Drumcree was all about Orange triumphalism and supremacy, a dark period of intimidation, violence and sectarian murder, yet the OO and DUP want to drag us back to those days. The North has moved on, the OO and DUP haven’t.
The Israeli ambassador can't be silent, but expects the president of Ireland to remain silent about Israel's war crimes. The arrogance and hypocrisy is typical of that apartheid terrorist state.
Don't be too hard on the DUP, they ensured the end of a unionist majority in the North, delivered a border in the Irish Sea and will speed up a united Ireland.
The DUP boycott Stormont, but not Westminster where the protocol was approved. Wonder if that’s because there’s no SF first minister there, or because they wouldn’t be missed ?
Unionism had an alternative, it could have treated Nationalists with respect, but didn’t, so why are they so upset when Nationalists, rightly push for reunification of our country?
The major problem for the DUP is that nationalists in the North will never be treated as second class citizens again. It’s something they’ll have to come to terms with and live with in a new Ireland.
Only Donaldson could blame the British government for the DUP Brexit mess and Irish Sea border, which of course is their phoney excuse for boycotting a Sinn Féin first minister. Unionism can't face reality, they're in the end game.
DUP rejected the GFA, the protocol, a nationalist FM, the Windsor framework, US investment in NI. What a shame working class unionists won't reject the never, never DUP.
Wee Jeffrey's not happy with the Windsor framework. He wasn't happy with the GFA, the Backstop, the Protocol and he's still in denial about the nationalist first minister. That DUP hole gets deeper by the day.
Working class loyalist communities have, for the best part of 100 years, been spoon-fed a diet of sectarianism which drove a false sense superiority. Tom Kelly.
Orange marches are all about supremacy, that's why they want to march where they're not wanted, but the days of stamping over nationalists are gone forever.
The Unionist majority in the 6 counties was designed to be perpetual, but is gone and gone forever and still they refuse to see that their future is in a shared Ireland. Will they ever see the light ?
Back in your kennel, don't feed the crocodiles, curry my yoghurt. The DUP's contribution to politics in NI.

What a lady. Jen Psaki is a natural & it helps so much that she just has to tell the truth, no lies, no obfuscation, just the honest truth.
The fundamental questions unionists have to answer are these. The north was artificially carved out to create a tribal reservation with a permanent majority for Protestants and unionists. Since that is no longer the case and never will be again, what is the point of the place?
When the DUP have lost the political argument, there's always the threat of violence as a backup. They've nothing else to offer.
Joint Irish-British rule over Northern Ireland 'would spell major unrest and trouble' says DUP peer
Jeffrey Donaldson opined that he had to hold his nose around nationalists, now he's looking at a nationalist first minister and he can't even hold office. There's a certain pleasure in the demise of sectarian unionism.
In census 2021 68% of NI citizens did not describe themselves as British. Why is Foreign secretary Cleverly telling us NI is as British as Braintree ? It’s not.
The mother of the director of BBC NI demonstrating her ignorance of gaelic culture and her unashamed bigotry. She's a perfect fit for the TUV.
TUV candidate lambasts GAA club and Linda Ervine for ‘misrepresentation’ of east Belfast
More artifice from the political failure Dodds,. The DUP created the Brexit mess, haven't a clue what to do except block a nationalist First Minister and a border poll, but 23% doesn't get to dictate any more.
“Many of us over here are sick of you. The flag waving, the ranting and raving.
English caller to Nolan Show says British want to ‘get rid’ of Northern Ireland
50 years ago unionism was a majority and their call was "Never.never". Today unionism's a minority and it's still "Never, never". Obviously they'll never, never learn.
Pro-unionist BBCNI pressing Michelle O’Neill on her attendance at republican commemorations yet have never once queried unionists about their attendance at ceremonies glorifying the British military whose record of atrocities is the most appalling in history.
@OxfordDiplomat
Five months earlier the same regiment were involved in the Ballymurphy massacre in Belfast killing 11 innocent civillians. The relatives still seek justice.
QUB economic study 2022.
N.Ireland productivity is 17% lower than the UK which in turn is 29% lower than the Republic of Ireland.
Higher productivity means higher wages and better living standards.
So what are the benefits of the union ?
BBCNI and UTV have always been pro-unionist since their inception , but with the electoral success of Sinn Fein they’re now obsessively anti-nationalist.
@OxfordDiplomat
Wouldn't it be great if every country in the world had a Jacinda Ardern. So solid, so sensible & a leader with understanding & compassion.
When the sectarian 6 counties was established the unionist hierarchy discriminated, gerrymandered and oppressed the nationalist population using the RUC and B specials as their violent enforcers.
There were alternatives !
