Very saddened to hear of the passing of a dear friend, Bik McFarlane.
Yesterday we lost a great Republican whose commitment to Irish unity, peace and social justice was unwavering.
I always enjoyed his company, craic agus ceol.
His loss will be felt by all who had the privilege to know him.
Remembered always. Farewell Bik. 💔
They don’t like that we oppose British rule, that we don’t believe that England serves anyone in Ireland and the working classes on both sides of the community deserve better; deserve funding, deserve appropriate mental health services, deserve to celebrate music and art and deserve the freedom to express our culture.
In opposing us they broke their own laws.
