That “rabble” are about to inspire more folk to get out and vote for a UI and something better. The words that the likes of Carla use are telling. They see absolutely nothing wrong with dehumanising folk they supposedly “share” a space with.

If those 35 men are truly just ordinary daddies, sons, and people you work with who want to live in a shared, peaceful society, then the ultimate act of being a good neighbour would be to respect the feelings and wishes of the people living on that road.

The last Drumcree dispute ended with the killing of the three little Quinn children.
It’s just disgraceful we are back in a situation where tensions could easily escalate to such a stage again.

@sara_utv "only 35 participants"as if it's no big deal?
Tell that to the friends and relatives of the 13 people murdered because of OO belligerence and Loyalist mayhem in the 90s,tell it to the hundreds injured and the decent Residents of Garvaghy who's lives were turned upside down.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Donaldson once walked the corridors of power, but he now spends his days behind bars in Maghaberry jail doing jigsaws & art. He follows news & current affairs from a tiny TV in his cell. We reveal details of his stark new prison life.

If you tell me the Orange Order is showing restraint by allowing Jamie Bryson in Rangers gear to be its public face today to Garvaghy and the world you’re lying to me - and yourself.

[Eileen Cumiskey @EileenCumi28050]

@51Batman Ive just watched a young sash wearing Orange man being interviewed on Sky News. I know the Orange Order is a prehistoric organisation but not knowing that the Queen died in 2022 coupled with talking with a mouth full of chewing gum is so not a good look before a global audience

[Roy Greenslade @GreensladeR]

Has the Parades Commission taken leave of its senses?The racist, sectarian, bigoted Orange Order want to march down a road where Irish nationalists live. The only possible point of such a march is to cling to the myth of unionist domination, defeated long ago and never to return.

[Tim McKane @timmckane]

So the MP for the constituency, Carla Lockhart, has called the inevitable protesters “rabble”. So much for representing all the people as the MP. The next time you hear her calling for investment in NI, or her local area, think about how she is acting today!

🚨 BREAKING:

Jewish actor Daniel Radcliffe:

"As a Jew, I was fed lies about Israel my entire life."

"They never told me that Palestinians lived there. Israel is absurd and nonsensical, built on ethnic cleansing and genocide."

[Sinead Ui Luanaigh @ui_sinead]

Seeing quite a few comments like this lol.

A halfwit is comparing the beauty of the Fleadh to a sectarian hate march that resulted in the deaths of 21 people.

DRUMCREE:
British PM says it’s also the responsibility of the Taoiseach !
Great to see POWER SHARING being accepted by London, next step on the road to a United Ireland will be total control from Dublin…And rightly so ☘️🇮🇪 j

[Jason Reid @JasonReidx]

Provocation and triumphalism egged on by extremists. Pure and simple. You have to feel for the people of Garvaghy road.

[Jon B @jni_1972]

Whatever happens, this will damage Unionism in the long term.

There is zero forward thinking, just petty short-termism. Winning a small battle while losing the war, totally blind to the bigger picture.

@GRobinsonDUP @JBuckleyMLA @carlalockhart @JimAllister @JonBurrowsMLA

[Dr Órfhlaith Campbell @drorfh]

So the Fleadh is proof that Northern Ireland can work but the reappearance of division in Northern Ireland is proof that a New Ireland won't work. Make that make sense.

[IrishNerd88 @IrishNerd88]

@GavinHBKelly Very worth noting that Binlid and the two DUP elected representatives that started this whole debacle were 13, 8 and 7 years old the last time the OO walked the Garvaghy Road.

[James @James_AnFiachra]

‘Wins’ Here’s a reminder that Bryson is nothing but a sectarian street thug! #SmashSectarianism

[JM🇮🇪🇵🇸 @redoctoberirp]

Here’s another major point that the media haven’t particularly highlighted when it comes to Drumcree.

There is another route available to the Orange Order to return “home”, but they refuse to take it because it doesn’t provide the same element of triumphalism.

[Des Henderson @desfilmsstuff]

It astounds me that there are people so determined to criticise Sinn Fein they will say anything no matter how ill-informed. This “social scientist” didn’t have to live through it the last time, something we thought was consigned to the history books.
