F’kin hell. Self awareness just retired.

Gavin Robinson on Nolan tonight stating he “believes” the “rumours” of “firearms” on the Garvaghy Road & that Orange Men and Police would have been shot is incredibly reckless.
This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to both demonise residents & pacify the DUP extremists

I think a more pressing question is does Jon bring that roll-up poster of himself everywhere in case he feels compelled to make a video ?

Seen someone say “their only constituency is the algorithm” and that definitely hit hard.

Lest we forget the Orange Order in Comber objected to kids from the East Belfast GAA taking part in a sports camp organised by Comber Cricket Club.

I have no idea where we go from here. Losing Jim Allister, Jamie Bryson and Carla Lockhart from the new Ireland conversation is devastating.

A simple written question to the Minister would get an accurate answer

Paul, for the love of God, will you give the “new Ireland” hysteria a rest?
Perhaps you and your colleagues could have concentrated on making NI a more welcoming place for Catholics and nationalists, over the decades, rather than constantly frightening unionists about some hypothetical future.
After all, unionism had decades of political dominance in NI, Imagine how different this place might have been had equality been the priority from the beginning.
Nobody is asking unionists to abandon their British identity or Protestant culture.
Equality isn’t persecution, Paul. Catholics having the same rights as Protestants isn’t oppression.
Perhaps instead of endlessly warning people about a “new Ireland”, you could help build an NI where everyone actually feels they belong.

You cannot claim to be a “Christian”, go to church, sing your worship songs, and then say that the PSNI should have “sanitised the Garvaghy Road”.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
Absolutely disgusting and appalling language.

It’s difficult to know who to ask.
Is there anyone in stormont , an office or anything, that would have the answer?
I can’t see Twitter being the best place to ask tbh.

People are not dirt to be cleaned away.
The use of the word ‘sanitised’ is dehumanising and utterly unacceptable from an elected representative.
Language matters. This deserves outright condemnation and an apology. No community should ever be spoken about this way.

“Roadblock Robinson” 🤣🤣
Roadblock Robinson finally getting a taste of his own medicine.
I wonder if the media will say he has broken the law, like most did with people on Garvaghy Road before any charges brought or court cases finished??

> Lockhart isn't a leader. She's a pawn. Robinson sent her to absorb any Drumcree success for DUP & failed - horrendous stretedgy.
> Sunday Word - I thought this was something else entirely: Americanisms are too ingrained.
The latest iteration of "preventing a blood bath" .... rules for thee but not for me
DUP Leader claims he was 'working with police' at roadblock protest

For those who missed Sunday Politics this morning, this is Jim Allister MP stating the PSNI should have sanitised the Garvaghy Road to enable the OO to march down it. SANITISE! These comments go some way to enable understanding of the mindset behind this historic issue. Shameful

Jim Allister on #SundayPolitics ...
The @ChiefConPSNI "should have sanitised the Garvaghy Road"
Yep, perfectly normal language @RhonddaBryant from a sitting MP
Absolutely disgraceful language !!!!
Simon Callender retweeted
Expect a letter
Good.
As I said in the chamber on Monday - the police are in an impossible position and we should not redirect fire onto them.
We must focus on those who broke the law. In doing so the @ChiefConPSNI has my complete support.
