*We knew it was really, really bad, but we were persuaded not to oppose it openly because we didn't want to mess up our leader's chance of winning a by-election*
I’ve been in France this week trying to find out what’s really going on with the riots.
The truth is far more sinister than I anticipated.
I spoke with philosopher Charles Gave (@Epargne_UDE) in Paris. He laid it all out for me. This is much deeper than education and mass migration…
Full interview out now …
@donegalgur35272@chrisadonnelly So your point is that they don’t want to upset people for fear of being harassed and threatened. Yes. that makes a lot of sense
💯 As a non-religious person with a Christian education I can see that. I am increasingly of the opinion that the seven heads of the Beast referred to in the bible are in fact an unholy alliance of anti-imperialist / revolutionary-Marxist /revolutionary socialist / anti-capitalist / activist / radical-islamist revolutionaries /anarchist movements aligning to destroy Christianity. This makes much more sense than a physical entity
@SeanMcCDerry@davehf10@paulgivan Yet in other areas Catholic schools have benefitted from huge new buildings and new schools while Protestant schools have been left waiting for this kind of investment. Consider taking your blinkers off this is a ridiculous statement
His point simply has no relevance to the opinion presented in the headline. It is a classic Tu Quoque/red herring fallacy designed to poison the well and confuse simpletons. It does not directly address the idea presented. The Soviet Union systematically employed these exact logical mechanics as official, state-sanctioned tools of propaganda.
@bbctheview@NualaMcAllister@MarkCarruthers7 It is very clear which party is trying to destabilise the country and drum up hatred for votes. Sinn Féin’s polling was in freefall because of their disastrous policies, they were losing Nationalist support and they’re panicking.
I hope in the interests of balance, that a @RTELateLateShow invite has been extended to @little_pengelly as well as Michelle O'Neill, who has already been on several times.
I also hope that, rather than a propaganda exercise from @PatricKielty , that the latter is asked fair questions about why protesters were bussed in to Garvaghy from republican clubs in west Belfast before a court had even ruled, why they were directed through megaphone by a former IRA man Martin Lynch, why groups sang IRA songs like My Old Mans a Provo, and how we ever sort this place out and tell citizens not to break the law when the most senior politician here says it's ok to do it if you think it's right.
It is so febrile that a deliberate soft soap propaganda exercise now, would be irresponsible broadcasting. Let's see.
@bbctheview@DeirdreHargey@MarkCarruthers7 Sinn Fein refuse to recognise or take their seats in Westminster so what the fuck is she even talking about. The propaganda tour continues
For those who attempted to shut me down for asking the question yesterday: if the PSNI had no further sinister intelligence regarding threats in the vicinity of the Garvaghy Road, do you not think they would have clarified that without hesitation?
@ZackPolanski How are you going to continue as leader of the Greens now without a seat in Parliament? This doesn’t look like someone who can lead a party to No 10
