@woodvaleblue @EavanMurray @PadraigMcKeon I also don't know why your asking me for evidence of a statement I didn't make, I can't retract something I didn't say lol and I can still comment on my own replies even if you block me, love a loophole so I do

[Phil Murphy @Kaxximuss]

@woodvaleblue @EavanMurray @PadraigMcKeon We can explain it to you but we cannot understand it for you.

@john_mcguirk @danieltoland You grew up on the other side of the border, not next to it

@john_mcguirk @john_mcguirk I didnt realise @griptmedia were UVF, LVF and UDA apologists, turn up for the books, purport to be reporting on the real troubles of the Irish people and forget about the 6 in the north, smells like a "paid by NGO's op" 👀

It's fascinating to see all of the hot takes from people who haven't the first clue about the North; whether they're from the South, Britain or elsewhere. From the sort of people who'd casually use the term 'Nordie scum' or think they're much more open-minded, cultured and tolerant. Easy to do so from a distance when they don't live the reality of sectarian politics every day. Something that literally filters into rows about the use of dual-language signage; to decisions about which children, which schools, which groups, which communities should and should not benefit from funding here.

Top of the list of things to be considered is the dark and murderous past linked to the parade, including the killing of children. Not something that should be brushed aside when it is clearly still raw and a source of trauma for many residents, including families who were directly impacted.

According to the blow-in experts on the intricacies of NI politics, it's so simple and straightforward that:

1. The march was rejected by the Parades Commission for almost 30 years. The Parades Commission made a decision a couple of days before this march was due to take place with little time for it to be scrutinised.

2. A non-contentious route was/has been available to the Orange Order for years which they don't/won't accept.

3. The PSNI assessment — finding they had 'no information' to indicate the parade would result in violence or disorder — which informed the Parades Commission decision to approve the march is being questioned by many people. The same PSNI says it can't take paramilitary flags off lamp posts due to the perceived risks. And can't touch offensive/contentious bonfires containing racist/sectarian material because it poses too much of a risk.

4. One judge ruled that the march should not go ahead on Sunday. Another judge ruled differently, hours before it was due to take place.

Orange Order parades that happen elsewhere (including my home city of Derry) routinely feature the playing of anti-Catholic tunes (The Billy Boys & No Pope of Rome) and the glorification of loyalist paramilitaries who prided themselves on murdering Catholics. Why is that normalised? The media plays a significant role in that.

Why do people march alongside those people every year (including politicians) without publicly condemning and ostracising them?
Indeed if the police attempt to act — as they half-heartedly did when a band wore Soldier F uniforms in support of a man who stood trial for murdering innocent civilians on Bloody Sunday (with the intention of antagonising the families of innocent victims who sought justice for decades) — some politicians were practically apoplectic with rage and cried 'two-tier policing'.

What do UVF or UDA men who murdered Catholics during the Troubles have to with the celebration of historic events from 1690 (when Protestant King William defeated Catholic King James)?

Would the same politicians backing this as a human rights issue say republicans have a right to march wherever they like?

Would a republican march with anti-Protestant tunes and paramilitary trappings be accepted through the Shankill, Fountain estate or Ballymena?

What about an anti-Jewish march, where they play anti-Jewish tunes, through a predominately Jewish neighbourhood in London?
Would the Met Police get on board with that?
Would officers say there was no risk of disorder?

Why do I not see the same people who are so flippant about this march going ahead ever comment on those realities?

Do you stand up for the feelings of all communities or just some when it suits your liberal-minded, holier-than-thou agenda?

If you're going to patronise people at least demonstrate that you are consistent.

We've some southern darlings lecturing communities, telling the untamed savages to catch a grip. Telling them they're at fault for jeopardising the prospect of a unity referendum. Your interest in the North is surface level at best. Pipe down.

@woodvaleblue @EavanMurray @PadraigMcKeon Let me Google it for you, or better yet the short version

[illegal alien @YourAlians]

The Drumcree conflict is a dispute over yearly parades in the town of Portadown in the north of Armagh Ireland. The town is mainly Protestant and hosts numerous Protestant and Ulster loyalist marches each summer, but has a significant Catholic minority.

@PadraigMcKeon I totally agree Pádraig, and while we're at we should start a KKK chapter and burn crosses and terrorise the black population, send money to bomb Gaza and euthanize sick babies.

2. You'll be safe in the 26, never having seen the streets on fire, or seeing the generational scars on your parents.
The north remembers.
If your sat in Dublin commenting "it's just a walk down a road", then your history is wasted on you and your ignorance shines through.

[Phil Murphy @Kaxximuss]

You'll denounce apartheid in South Africa,
Support Gaza against genocide,
send millions to Ukraine while your neighbours decide on fuel or food, heat or light.
You'll spend €300k on a bike rack,
and sell your toll roads to private equity.

@jpt0692 @Martin_BELFast @john_mcguirk We don't let the people responsible march past the houses they burnt them to death in

@red_mocha2022 @AnMailleach Eoin, best stay in your lane. Some of us had to grow up in the 80's and 90's in the north, we saw our parents, our grandparentstrauma and carried our own, your sentiments are tone deaf, dont speak to an experience you don't have. Regards, From North Armagh.

@51Batman Ironically, Batman, the character, Bruce Wayne, is Catholic

@FunnyStuff2C @sara_utv The context is larger than just the Garvaghy road residents, they said no, and the community has gathered to support them, and make a unified stand, they remember, and they stand united. The Garvaghy road Residents will never stand alone, Saoirse Go Deo.

[Phil Murphy @Kaxximuss]

@StefSpodeUK They're called residents, locals, also known as natives.

[Phil Murphy @Kaxximuss]

@joebarr88 Nice big distraction, can't have them Catholics and protestants getting along and joining sides against this lovely tyrannical government we've got going.

@roininews @cryptorichy1 @SK_00001 Let me refer you to the 2007/2008 financial crisis and bank bail outs with public money

@eoinmauricedaly @forks_gk_ Ah Eoin, your argument fell apart when you tried to scribble out the bit of the screenshot that contradicted you. Try harder pal.

[Phil Murphy @Kaxximuss]

@HughGillanders @JohnHolmesbilly @BobFlavin You answered your own question, you plan ahead because it's "vital treatment", the vital bit here, that's the answer, you don't plan for things that are vital, that's a mindset for disappointment. Do you show up ten minutes before your flights too?
