@JamieBrysonCPNI Not in my neck of the woods. Mucho lawn-mowing during the funeral. GB and NI more deeply divided than ever. If we're a "family," then it's a pretty disfunctional one tearing itself apart.
4. If you're grieving, by all means go ahead and grieve in your own private spaces. But if the right-wing can't handle the push-back, then perhaps it should stop attempting to publicly impose its thought control on a deeply divided population.

SHORT THREAD .
1. There's been a loada greetin' from the right-wing over the past few days about the push-back from republicans during organised public moments of mourning, and complaints about "lack of respect."

3. The right-wing knows there is a sizeable republican population spread across the UK, so why provoke it it? It's like poking a wasps' nest and complaining when you get stung.

@MarieAnnUK You don't speak for me or millions of republicans throughout the UK who neither share nor even understand your sycophancy. Nor do you understand the republican thought process, it would seem. Trevor Noah makes perfect sense to me.
@PoliceScotland, in the light of the Sarah Everard tragedy, the sinister and predatory behaviour of these two policemen surely merits some investigation. It seems also a possibility that they may harbour some anti-republican prejudice.
I’m very concerned by this film which appears to show police officers following a young woman home from a demonstration & when confronted saying “Tell us where you live, and we'll let you go.” Can the film maker please contact me. #RightToProtest
@NileGardiner Celtic charged for breaking UEFA rules on non-politicisation of the match, but Rangers also broke the rules yet haven't been charged. We're not all obsequious, fawning Establishment twats. What's disgraceful is the discrimination against republican voices.
Many unionist politicians who argued that staying in the UK was the only way Scotland could remain in the EU went on to vote for Brexit. How is that respecting the 2014 outcome?

Unionists will take the “once in a generation” line, an unguarded, informal remark by Salmond in 2014. But there is no legal time restriction on further referenda, as borne out by the Smith Commission.

Unionists will argue that Nationalist should respect the 2014 result. We have, and have lived with it for 8 years. Trump-supporting rioters storming the White House is what not respecting the result actually looks like.
