"Irish patriots are writing one of the most heroic chapters in human history... Let tyrants tremble before men who are capable of dying for their ideals after 60 days on hunger strike!" - Fidel Castro
“Yes I voted out, but I didn’t realise it would come to this, my application has been rejected and we are on our way home – the wife is in tears, she’s distraught if I’m honest and I’m not too happy at the prospect of returning back to the UK.” #BrexitReality
The PSNI informed me of a bomb threat at my office on upper Antrim Rd. Thankfully nothing found. The threat was phoned from a loyalist area.The second attempt at intimidation in a few days. I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED. Sinn Féin will continue to serve all people in North Belfast.
