Manchester marks 30 years since devastating IRA blast: Decades on, survivors and NI victims' group at service for attack that rocked city with UK's largest bomb since Second World War https://t.co/5IZO0IvzHB
Tonight, as a council, we remembered the six innocent soldiers brutally murdered by the IRA in Lisburn 38 years ago during the 1988 Fun Run atrocity.
These men were not on active duty. They were taking part in a charity event in our own community when cowardly terrorists carried out one of the darkest attacks in Lisburn’s history.
Sergeant Michael J. Winkler (31)
Corporal Ian Metcalfe (36)
Lance Corporal Derek W. Green (20)
Lance Corporal Graham P. Lambie (22)
Lance Corporal William J. Paterson (22)
Signalman Mark R. Clavey (24)
Thirty-eight years on, their names are still remembered, their loss is still felt, and the evil of what happened that day must never be rewritten or forgotten.
We honour their memory, stand with their families, and remember all those affected by terrorism.
Lest we forget 🌺❤
Hypocrisy from the RC Church which, for 62 years from 1908>1970, used its "racist" discriminatory diktat of Ne Temere to force any member of its church marrying an Irish Protestant, to raise their children as Roman Catholic. This is real legalised discrimination endorsed by the Irish state.
Funny how some politicians in Northern Ireland now lecture everyone about protests, disorder and “responsibility” when they publicly backed and funded the Minnesota Freedom Fund during the George Floyd riots in 2020.
This wasn’t simply support for peaceful protest.
It was a bail fund for those arrested during the riots. A fund later heavily criticised after individuals accused of violent offences, rioting and weapons charges were bailed out.
No responsible politician should support violence.
But people are entitled to question the double standards from politicians who supported this in America, yet take a very different tone when unrest happens closer to home.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
On the Shankill and Woodvale , houses that young people might have aspired to own have been bought by ‘landlords’ , made into HMOs and rented to the highest bidder, frequently agents of the Home Office. Is it any wonder there is anger?
Appalling cartoon in @IrishTimes. How did this make it past editorial?
Promoting the 'planter' jibe is hardly helpful.
Or is this the real view behind the 'new Ireland' schtick?
Nearly 10% of criminal arrests in Northern Ireland are migrants…
That’s a wildly disproportionate number
This is besides the fact that the people of N Ireland are now being subjected to a top down psyop/disinformation barrage, as typified by this post by @PMcReynoldsMLA
Previous collapsed Irish Republican narratives tended to be replaced by something worse.
The sectarian anomosity towards Ulster Protestants tends to be the only constant. Every other political principle will be changed or jettisoned to sustain it.
Gerry, your brother molested his own daughter. You knew about it. Not only did you do nothing about it, you gave him prominent positions in your political party.
Don’t you fucking dare lecture anyone.
I want to personally apologise to @EoinTennyson - for tearing him a brand new arsehole.
Eóin is the deputy leader of the @allianceparty in Northern Ireland, he is a staunch 'progressive' politician.
Eóin, I am sorry to say, I can find North Belfast on a map, I have been to Northern Ireland, as well as the South, did you get your talking point there from Sinn Féin lad?
Eóin likes to compare apples and oranges, but (as anyone with half a brain between their ears knows) they are different fruits. They look different, they taste different, and they grow in different conditions, different climates.
So according to him I have made a 'clear attempt' to embroil myself in racism, thuggery, violence etc etc etc?
Listen carefully you baby faced muppet, you may learn something here, something quite 'revolutionary'.
You are making a FALSE EQUIVALENCE between the horrendous murder of Natalie McNally and the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie.
What is the difference you say?
Well the difference is that Stephen Ogilvie's attacker should NEVER have been in the UK. He is another unvetted illegal migrant given leave to stay to only carry out an atrocious attack leaving an Irishman with severe life changing injuries.
Despite Natalies murder been so horrific (it was, she was murdered by her boyfried while she was 15 weeks pregnant), this is not the same thing, not even remotely the same.
Natalies boyfriend Stephen McCullagh is a native, the scumbag who attempted to saw off the head of Stephen Ogilvie came from Sudan and passed through multiple safe countries only to be 'settled' in the UK.
Every country and community has wronguns, rapists, murderers, child abusers, thieves etc etc. Whilst we can't do much about the native wronguns, apart from call them out and seek justice, we can stop importing people from countries and cultures that are dangerous, hostile, backward, and savage. We can oppose government policies that dump third world savages into our communities endangering everyone.
What happened to Stephen Ogilvie could have been prevented by closing the borders, detaining and then deporting illegals - thus preventing hostile murdering invaders from carrying out atrocious acts like we seen in Belfast.
Closing the borders, detaining and then deporting illegals, preventing hostile and savage third worlders would have made no difference to Natalies situation unfortunately.
We don't need to add to the amount of murdering, raping, child molesting wrongness in our country when we have enough of our own scumbags to deal with.
Baby faced ideologically captured progressive pricks like you Eóin refuse to see anything from that viewpoint which is the problem here.
You need to take some ownership, because its tone deaf ideologically captured politicians like you Eóin that lay the groundwork for riots and violence on our streets.
You lot cased this mess, not me.
Own it, then apologise.
Have a great day.
