If a forceful form of English nationalism begins to take hold, it could shape future events in NI, Scotland and Wales, writes Paul Breen belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…
This show was excellent last night - heartbreaking too. Shows how the state treats ordinary people when their interests clash with truth, justice and money.
💭 Spotlighting a community's strength in the face of tragedy.

#OnThisDay in London's festive history: traditional day of Charlton Horn Fair, rowdy popular procession & shindig. Banned in 1872.

Listened to Joe Brolly and Jamie Bryson going at each other on @freestateirl this morning (a wee bit behind) and just found it depressing.

Irish Children's author Sally Rooney has been banned from selling books in the UK because she expressed support for Palestine Action.
What a ridiculous North Korea style place the UK has become.
Paul Breen retweeted
Defamation against Sally Rooney and the Irish people as a whole.
This is the playbook.
Conflate criticism of the illegal and immoral actions of Israel to Jewish people.
This is textbook antisemitism brought to you by Sky News.

Loving this new version of the Friar's Leap Folklore story!
Have you ever heard of Friar's Leap?
Near Devenish Island, a narrow stretch of water tells of a lonely monk, secret trips to the mainland & a desperate escape from the Devil himself
The place is real. The story has been passed down through generations

The whole #Garvaghy situation should never have happened. But it seems to be over now. @JamieBrysonLLB is proof that a self publicisit can go a long way in this age we live in but the roads of common sense remain closed to him. What an own goal for #Unionism this has been.

@NWSharingZone @DerryNow Today's recoloured photo shows the Altnagelvin Hospital football team in 1964.
Unfortunately I have been unable to find any information about the team. Does anyone have any information about the team?

WOW! 👏🏼
Oasis’s Noel Gallagher
Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon
The Smiths founder Johnny Marr
Legend of music Paul Weller
Actors Siobhán McSweeney and Adrian Dunbar
And dozens of other big names in music, film and the arts have just put their names to a letter supporting the right of Garvaghy Road residents to live in peace, free from intimidation.
Really hate warring tribes narrative about back home. Happily watching @NorthernIreland tonight same as I watched @IRELANDFai last night even if I don't like anthems in football & stand with #Garvaghy residents but don't like some aspects of behaviour today. That's the reality.

Some things the British media and political class have reacted hysterically to during Israel's genocide:
- The Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban
- Bob Vylan
- Gary Lineker
- The Green Party motion
Something they have not reacted hysterically to:
- The genocide
Oh wow I never realised Christy Moore had done this song - well done - open.spotify.com/track/3YgQY… #LyraMcKee #Irishmusic
