The mastermind behind Planxty, The Bothy Band & Moving Hearts, arranger, composer, master of celtic music, of bodhrán & bouzouki, the greatest Irish musician of our time, has passed on to the great gig in the sky. Travel on well and thankyou #DonalLunny

If this is true then it is a clear breach of the Parades Commission’s determination:
“No supporters shall congregate along the notified parade route, including but not limited to the vicinity of the notified assembly point at Drumcree Church…”
As the parading standoff entered its sixth day a small group of supporters of Portdown District Orange lodge remained visible on Drumcree Hill.

This is what compassion looks like. So proud of my dear friends putting this together only this evening. Please read, sign & share. It is FLYING. Many protestants feel strongly about their support for the residents of the Garvaghy Rd and the unnecessary trauma this has caused
🚨 Open letter from people of Protestant backgrounds concerning the Garvaghy Road
🚨 We feel compelled to speak publicly about what is happening in Portadown.
🚨Over the past few hours we have collected over 140 signatures.

Loyalism always hated John Hume.
And they’ve always hated the SDLP.
I know where John would be standing this week if he was still here.

Parading legislation foresaw the prospect of a bungling & inept Commission making a determination of potentially catastrophic consequences.
This UK Act of Parliament confers powers of referral on the @ChiefConPSNI & significant powers to revise, reject or prohibit to @RhonddaBryant.
Time they were used

PSNI Land Rovers on the Garvaghy Road. A bin lid being banged to alert locals can be heard in the background. #Drumcree

Early this morning, 51 years since our final gig, I plugged in the bass, closed my eyes and played along with the old recordings and we were all young and together again and all the people were dancing. #MiamiShowband

Reform looks increasingly less like a political party and more a private syndicate, populated by hoods and dodgy donors, whose aim is Farage
‘s self-enrichment and, when/if he wins power, their own. The disillusioned working class just prey. Important, revelatory journalism.

If Andy Burnham takes over the Labour leadership he’ll be the seventh Prime Minister in 10 years. Seems like a fair time to re-post this fabled prophesy from David Cameron in 2015 -
Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband: facebook.com/DavidCameronOff…

Nigel Farage talks of a "truly historic shift in British politics".
People in Northern Ireland have a right to decide whether they want a Farage future against their will.
The only way of decisively rejecting that future is to choose a new Ireland, back in Europe.

You’re absolute heroes each and everyone of you.
99,019 signatures, who’s going to number 100,00?
I need 100,000 signatures to win a parliamentary debate about the ownership of the water industry.
Do your thing internet.

BREAKING: Trump’s MESSIANIC MELTDOWN! Trump the hypocrite-in-chief launches “America Reads the Bible” week as he fantasizes that he’s some kind of new holy savior!
In one of the most shameless displays of fake piety in world history, Donald Trump is kicking off a week-long “America Reads the Bible” event from the White House, acting as if he’s leading some grand national spiritual revival.
This is the same Donald Trump who once stood in front of a church holding up a Bible like he was selling used cars. The same man who couldn’t name a single favorite Bible verse when asked. The same man who skipped Easter services to rage about his enemies and has repeatedly compared himself to Jesus Christ.
His spiritual advisor Paula White has even told followers that saying “no” to Trump is the same as saying “no” to God. We think Trump, who hasn’t given a tinker’s damn about religion or spirituality a day in his life, is starting to believe the hype. Maybe if he plays it right, people really will start to see him as infallible.
This is Trump’s dangerous megalomania fully metastasized into full-blown messianism – he is starting to sees himself as some divinely chosen figure rather than a twice-impeached, convicted felon, and con man.
One that can command unstinting loyalty while he cuts aid to the poor and taxes on the rich, and invades sovereign nations on a whim.
We can hear it now. Nothing says “devout Christian” like Trump stumbling through Bible verses and making more gaffes like “Two Corinthians.” It should be a hoot on one level.
Make no mistake, this grotesque mix of blasphemy, hypocrisy, and narcissistic delusion putting Christianity into political service for the MAGA movement that is all about one man, and it sure isn’t Jesus.
Whether you are a person of faith or not, Trump’s hijacking of religion in an attempt to boost his poll numbers will be a disgusting spectacle to behold.

Really delighted that President Trump has now posted photos of himself being seen by a doctor.
I think many of us are glad that he has sought medical care after some of his most recent behaviour. 👍

My grandfather - a farmer and GAA man from rural Co Down - got the train up on the mornings after the Blitz to help with the cleanup.
85 yrs ago tonight was the worst night of the Belfast Blitz.
Luftwaffe bombers attacked targets across the city including civilian areas in N Belfast.
710 people were killed in this raid alone and 983 were killed in total with thousands injured.
An often forgotten tragedy.
ALT A bombed Hughenden Avenue, North Belfast, following an attack by German bombers in WW2.
