“Neck deep in moral swampland” is a great phrase to apply to the Western world today, especially those extremist groups for whom there can be no compromise #Terrorism #Extremism #ViolentStudentPolitics

Spot on analysis. The references to the Ravensbergen report point to collective delusion. I note with interest how she observes how ‘stakeholders’ did not like the term “disbandment” & wanted it changed to “transition” - they are delusional. We should not be entertaining them.
Rhinos, Provos and loyalist terror bosses: Northern Ireland has become the land of the absurd where words have lost their meaning. Society is pretending all is well, when deeply abnormal behaviour has become not only acceptable but encouraged. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comme…

Likely the right sort of soldier to have assigned on this close protection duty. Harry McCallion, another SAS soldier, reveals in his book Undercover War that the intelligence leading to Mrs McAliskey being protected came from an informer inside the UDA. “Collusion”? Hardly.

It was inevitable it would trigger people… Preppers remember the great calamity of COVID and the battle of Aisle 3 loo rolls
"It's gone absolutely mental... around a 650% increase" Lincoln Miles who runs an online "preppers" store says sales of wind-up radios, water purifiers and power banks have "surged" after the government urged people to stock up for a crisis. #Newsnight

If this is true, how much of Sinn Féin’s vote is from the already extant nationalist vote? It’s not like they are attracting new people to vote for them, those that they attract are just those who would be already inclined to in some way It’s not like they’re getting former DUP voters saying “You know what they’ve got a point!”
The first test of public opinion since the #Drumcree dispute. @Moreincommon_ poll Sinn Féin 30% (+5) DUP 18% (+1) UUP 13% (nc) TUV 11% (–1) Alliance 9% (–2) SDLP 9% (nc) Ind / Others: 4% (-1) Green 3% (-1) People Before Profit 1% (-1) Aontú 1% (nc) (+/- changes since July)

One of the greatest officers ever to serve in the @BritishArmy. His approach to #leadership was unorthodox but highly successful. The stories about him are the stuff of legend. Interview courtesy of @Telegraph

The thing to watch for now—and we’ll have the figures in a week or so—is how the unionist parties stand in the next @LucidTalk poll. If the DUP takes a significant downward hit Robinson will likely withdraw Emma Little-Pengelly

Today’s News Letter features 13 pages of coverage on Donaldson - the predator in power - including a three-page deep dive by Jilly Beattie, the journalist who first broke the news of his arrest and charge. Notably, P1 focuses entirely on the victims rather than the perpetrator.

My Dad was murdered by the PIRA on the 3/5/85. Despite the difficult start in life, I always obeyed the law and respected authority. Confidence in the rule of law has been decimated with the SOS and CC capitulating to extremism and Republican aggression. Mob rule wins again.

As with the Brexit, when nationalists failed to respect the border recognised by the Good Friday Agreement - threatening ‘civil disobedience at a minimum’! - the threat of violence is rewarded… “Some lawbreakers are more equal than others…” @RhonddaBryant @andyburnham
I think this is a serious mistake by Bryant. I have no particular affinity for the Orange Order. And I appreciate the history and sensitivities of the Drumcree dispute. But the Orangemen made the application in the correct way and secured a lawful determination to hold a much-scaled-back parade. Opponents, including the first minister, then blocked the road (and thereby the parade) unlawfully. And Bryant has given in to them. How is Bryant now going to convince unionists that the rule of law and constitutional politics still point the way forward for Northern Ireland? This has opened a huge can of worms.
