@murchadhfinn I don’t believe there is.
Unionism is an ideology born out of the settler siege mentality.
The natives were always a threat, not be trusted, marginalised, excluded & treated with suspicion.
From Penal Laws to Special Powers, Unionism has always sought to persecute & dominate.
@mistoman04@irish_news I presume you’d use the same logic for Orange parades - keep them away from catholic areas where they’re ’not wanted or supported’.
You’re a man of consistency, right?
@irish_news Civil rights campaign all over again.
The decent and good come out for what is right.
And the loyalist cretins come out to oppose.
They harried, harassed, blocked and attacked Civil Rights marchers wherever they could.
Groundhog Day.
Loyalists are despicable.
@rubytuesday566@TheGnomeofDoom_@DarranMarshall@camannua You’re labouring under the misapprehension that I have to prove anything to a stranger on Twitter.
I didn’t tell anyone to leave or go home like the poster did who you are defending.
People who came during the Plantation are Planters.
The clue is in the name.
@rubytuesday566@TheGnomeofDoom_@DarranMarshall@camannua It’s not a slur.
Fact is he/she is a descendant of people who colonised this place only 400 years ago.
And then has the audacity to tell me to uproot and move.
That is the overriding point.
@rubytuesday566@TheGnomeofDoom_@DarranMarshall@camannua I was using irony. I said that in the context of someone whose lineage isn’t historical of this country telling me to move down south.
Planter is not a deragatory word.
You ever heard of the Planter & The Gael by poets John Hewitt and John Montague?
@TheGnomeofDoom_@rubytuesday566@DarranMarshall@camannua Let me get this straight, and correct me if I’m wrong… are you a descendant of an immigrant, a settler, a planter, whatever term we use, telling me to leave where I’ve been born and raised and go live somewhere else?
Is that where we’re at?
@rubytuesday566@DarranMarshall@camannua I’m born, bred and live in Belfast.
If you knew anything about economics you’d know that ROI heavily outperforms NI in all major metrics.
Education is also better, people live longer and are healthier.

@ExBusinessman@DarranMarshall@camannua You’re demented or drunk.
Food banks in NI are at record levels and the cost of living crisis is out of control.
Working families in NI are priced out of everything.
Look around you for heavens sake.
@IvorNother@irish_news@IrelandsFuture Dear me 🙈.
The lunatics really are running the asylum here.
I’m gonna mute you now so you can howl at the moon until your hesrts content.
@nomorelicks@Sammy9058693989@irish_news@IrelandsFuture Can you show me where I’ve mentioned Muslims or immigration or even very lightly hinted at it 😀?
I think that’s probably the first time I’ve ever actually even typed the word ‘Muslim’ on this platform.
@BhoyNic Good man Nic 👍🍀.
Ignore the cretins from the blue side of Glasgow who’ll crawl onto this thread and spew their nonsense.
Hope you’re having a great trip.
We had a crazily, amazing end to the season 🏆🏆
