female caller to Nolan on brexit & damage being done to NI by DUP @StephenNolan asks if she's a nationalist then angrily attacks her over SF (she's not SF) & brings in John Downey & Soldier F?? Don't hear this type of attack when it's George from Shankill. What a complete bastard

GAA is a national sport.
The PSNI have a GAA team.
The PSNI want GAA to promote recruitment.
A once in a generation win should be celebrated by all not condemned or criticised as partisan.
Every unionist party leader has shown their "making NI work" is nothing but a cliché.

Jamie Bryson says the IRA started the Troubles. Let's not rewrite history: UVF carried out the first killings of the Troubles 3 years before republicans based on rumours, scaremongering, and apocalyptic warnings of equality. They were also planting cross border bombs in 1969

But I thought they preached gender is binary? If not allowed into the men’s then, by (binary) logic, that would mean using the women’s. Unless of course it’s not about gender or sex, but about appearance and that would be a questionable thing for any feminist to say.

Ards Peninsula: 150 (m2), pop: 25,000
Gaza Strip: 141 (m2), pop: 2.2m
(NI pop: 1.9m)
Imagine over 8,000 bombs being dropped on Ards Peninsula in 25 days, 88x the pop, there is no clean water, sanitation, medical supplies, electricity, or communication, and you can't get out.

NI vs North of Ireland.
When Unionists call NI 'Ulster' it's no different to saying the 'North of Ireland' as Ulster (9 counties) is 'literally' the north of Ireland. So why complain when others say 'NoI' when they are doing exactly that by calling it 'Ulster'?

€1.6bn of peace money went into NI (1995-2020). If loyalists only got day trips out of it then questions need asked of the community leaders and an audit of the organisations who were funded.

Their support is for the Palestinian people & their demand for self determination, not any one group. If disavowing certain 'actions' (not principles) of either group i.e. attack on civilians means they can continue to call out genocide on the world stage then that's fine by me.

So we've heard loyalists 'will' 'could' 'may' hold 'mass' protests in Dublin like it's some sort of threat. Here's the thing, large protests in Dublin are nothing new and as it's highly doubtful you'll get anywhere near the numbers they're used to, do it or don't, nobody cares

Clearly this was all a scam by the DUP, using language legislation as a weapon to get SF to collapse the Assembly. When that didn’t happen they wanted Poots to collapse it by not nominating a FM. The DUP are putting health & education at risk because it wasn’t blocked.
