Lest We Ever Forget 🌺

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

25 years ago the RUC was dismantled to placate nationalism.

The PSNI came into being, conceived in the womb of nationalist appeasement.

They have remained true to that ethos with ever more shameless two-tier policing. It culminated in Drumcree where after facilitating every single pro nationalist determination, the first the time there was a pro unionist one, the PSNI surrendered to a nationalist mob.

The trust in the PSNI, limited as it was, will struggle to ever recover within the PUL community.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ciara Mageean at just 34 years old.

A remarkable athlete from County Down who inspired so many through her achievements, determination and courage.

Our thoughts are with Ciara's family, friends and everyone who knew and loved her 💚🤍

[Emma Little-Pengelly BL @little_pengelly]

“I am so sorry to hear of the death of Ciara Mageean, at the age of 34 years.

An outstanding athlete and ambassador for her sport, Ciara was born in Portaferry, County Down and represented Northern Ireland and predominantly Ireland on the world stage. Ciara had outstanding success, and was an inspiration to many. She spoke with such honesty and bravery about the health battles she subsequently faced.

I know so many from right across Northern Ireland were deeply proud and inspired by Ciara.

My deepest condolences to her family, teammates and friends, and her husband to whom she had so recently married. May God comfort all those who mourn this deeply sad loss at such a young age.”

@BenLowry2 Yeah, He was the only one that put Londonderry on the map.

Given the seriousness of the circumstances surrounding Michelle O’Neill’s recent reckless conduct, and the damage it has done to the operation of our joint office, I have withdrawn agreement to attendance at tomorrow’s engagements in Glasgow.

This follows on the back of stopping separate planned engagements, including with the President of Ireland, Catherine Connelly over the last number of weeks and I have not agreed further activities or events.

I do not take this action lightly.

The situation surrounding the First Minister’s recent conduct remains extremely serious. There is significant anger, hurt and legitimate public discontent arising from her actions. These concerns cannot simply be dismissed or minimised. This is an exceptionally serious matter, particularly given the responsibilities of the office she holds and the importance of public confidence in the rule of law.

Of further concern is the First Minister’s continuing refusal to recognise or meaningfully acknowledge the depth and legitimacy of the discontent caused by her behaviour. Her approach has contributed to a significant deterioration in confidence and in the working relationship necessary to discharge the responsibilities of our joint office.

Northern Ireland will not miss out. I have requested a separate meeting with the Prime Minister to ensure Northern Ireland’s interests, including the urgent budgetary and funding challenges facing the Executive, continue to be represented directly.

When I was a kid, everyone wore poppies in November

Now, hardly anyone seems to

It's a shame.

Never forget those who gave their lives for our freedom

Dad's Army - Big Guns (23rd October 1969). The platoon are delighted to take delivery of a field gun, even though nobody knows how to use it. Never fear though, Captain Mainwaring quickly takes charge ...

Bands now starting to review their approach in terms of engagement with the Parades Commission and PSNI.

In all honesty, I fully support this approach & would support them if they decide to break all engagement with PSNI & the parading regulatory framework.

The precedent has been set. The PSNI and SoS were warned of the consequences. Let them live with it.
