Argumentative handsome bastard who lies 50% of the time. Views likely pinched from someone more clever than me. Recovering kebab addict. OF link in Insta ✌️

[Máiría Cahill @cahillbooks]

A note to BBC Good Morning Ulster for reading out an Irish republicans text about Jeffrey Donaldson and media reporting.

The difference with reporting on what Sinn Féin figures knew about cases linked to republicans was that the party had covered up the abuse. The DUP did not.

Gerry Adams covered up his father's abuse by giving him a full republican funeral.
He then covered up his brother's abuse of his niece for years.
He knew about my case and when it hit the public domain, he denied ever speaking about the abuse and lied through his teeth.
He knew about Paudi McGahon's case because he received a letter from his TD years before it went public.
When Michael McMonagle was arrested for abuse, Sinn Féin press officers gave him a glowing job reference.
When Niall O'Donnghaile was sending inappropriate pictures of himself to a child, the party lied about the child's age and Mary Lou Mc Donald gave him a glowing public reference.

And that does not even begin to scratch the surface of the IRA "investigations" into over 60 cases of child abuse which they ensured didn't make it to a criminal court, by covering up for the perpetrators by moving them around.

And still Sinn Féin back those who covered for perpetrators instead of standing with victims.

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues All the best, Andy. 👍🏼

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues Im certainly not. I do think you're being a little disingenuous, though.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues I've absolutely no problem with your view. You seem to be trying to convince anyone who don't share your view that they're wrong?

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues Im not trying to change your mind. I dont want us to hand the Glens the title. Most people can see the logic. I certainly do.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues Opinions can't be wrong. I respect yours. All I'm saying is that it isn't unique in vitrolic derbies to want your rival to be unsuccessful. Pretty sure that's been the case for as long as I can remember. Each to their own.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@AndyBelfast @Grove1969 @OfficialBlues Bit weird. I dont think it's a unique opinion in derby rivalry.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@mickymobile Tell that to the residents of Suffolk.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

While the majority of our councillors continue their virtue signalling circus, Belfast continues to be an absolute shithole.

@AntoFlynnser @Briansmyth99 You're choice was divisiveness and controversy.

@SeamasBelfast You really are a gobshite. A gaslighting gobshite at that.

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

Gaslighting bastard.

[Cool FM News @newsoncool]

🚨🗣NEW: 'A depressing attempt at culture wars, particularly from hard-line unionism.'

🎥🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to @SDLPlive councillor @SeamasBelfast.

It comes after the Palestinian flag was raised above Belfast City Hall.

It was flown after midnight on Tuesday following a vote at Monday evening’s council meeting.

A Sinn Féin motion to raise the flag on the next available day was passed by 32 votes to 28.

Séamas de Faoite also spoke about the protest at the back of City Hall last night.

He says things were said that he “can’t repeat on camera.”

[FGAU @PurpleStandard]

SF, SDLP, PBP and Greens have threw an imaginary grenade into @belfastcc chamber. Alliance handed it to them.

They knew this stunt would have massive ramifications but they don’t care. Real council work can wait when there is a chance to cause division. Shameful.

[Carla Lockhart MP @carlalockhart]

We see in Belfast City Hall how the dominance of the Nationalist/Republican alliance works out. These are the same people who tell us Unionists would be respected in their fantasy united Ireland.

We see you, we hear you, and we aren’t fooled by your sugar coated words.

[FGAU @PurpleStandard]

Wonder what her favourite RA moment is?

Body parts being scraped into plastic bags after a bomb?

1 year old baby being killed in a bomb?

7 year old girl and her parents being killed in a bomb leaving a brother and sister orphaned?

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

@timonther6 And who's at fault?

[Phil Dowie @phildowie]

Keep saying it until they believe it.

[Dr Órfhlaith Campbell @drorfh]

The positive legacy of course being more proof that this place doesn't work.

The "make NI work" crowd so determined themuns wouldn't get a stadium they sabotaged an opportunity to showcase this place working and made sure a whole new generation miss out on big events.
