"The Orangeman is no more loyal to England than we are, he wants the Union because he imagines that it secures his prosperity, but he is ready to fire on the Union flag the moment it threatens his prosperity."
Padraig Mac Piarais
Loyalism in 2026. Same playbook they used to attack Catholics in the 1960s. Now immigrants. Spurred on by hate by unionists leaders. They will be up to their knees in fenian blood in July, celebrating sectarian killers as attention will be directed at their Catholic neighbours.
Catholics burnt out of their houses in 1969, ethnic minorities burnt out in 2026. Shame on any #Catholic or #Republican in #Ireland who gives any kind of support or excuse to these bigots. We need to know our history and stand together against racism and oppression in #Belfast.
Jimmy Connors won 109 tournaments including 8 grand slams, but this one point at age 39 late in the New York night is the defining moment of his entire career. Enjoy.

56 years ago today, Neil Young with Crazy Horse released 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' — their raw, electric classic with "Cinnamon Girl", "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand". The album that defined their legendary sound and still hits hard."
On this day, May 12, 1981, one of the leading figures of the IRA, Francis Hughes, died on the 59th day of his hunger strike.
Francis Hughes was one of the best known figures of the republican movement in the North of Ireland. In the mid 1970s, he was declared “the most wanted man” in Ireland. In 1978, he was captured after a clash and arrested while seriously wounded. He was later sentenced to life imprisonment.
In 1981, after the death of Bobby Sands, he became the second person to die during the hunger strike. His death caused widespread anger and outrage in Ireland; tens of thousands attended his funeral, and he became a symbol of resistance for many republicans.
For Hughes, the Irish phrase “Fuair sé bás ar son saoirse na hÉireann” (He died for the freedom of Ireland) is frequently used.

“If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain.”
There's two basic problems with Labour's @edballs.
1) He hates the left.
2) He has a very thin skin.
Here's some clips from when I appeared a month after the genocide began.
The last time I ever appeared with him!
