.@JonBurrowsMLA is at times politically minded, not minded politically.
Nolan Show platforming adds to a stereotype of unprepared, uninformed unionism: suits and scatter-shot.
- Where are the plans for NI? "Let me be clear" is now a damaging catchphrase due to incoherence.

This is glorious.
All racist slime balls should be held to account.
🚨Unfucking believable! A jury from an area of about 90% liberals who hate Tommy Robinson just found him guilty of harassment for practicing journalism against two scumbag reporters who endangered the lives of his family.
It wasn’t a jury of peers. It was a jury of enemies.

Important to remind @JamieBrysonLLB:
> Jamie Bryson = most negative by Protestants.
Executive Stays.
> SF +5 points
> DUP = steady
> 2 in 5 don’t take a side
> Pengelly = unionist figure seen by DUP, UUP, TUV voters as calming Drumcree tensions
> 60% keep parading arrangements

Those that are attacking the tourism industry, funfare, pubs, office space, workers - leave the scene.
> The British army left the area in 2002. Park your DeLorean & violence.
Update: PSNI say the suspicious package was delivered to a hotel in the city and contained a viable device.
ATO officers carried out a controlled explosion and the device has been taken away for forensic examination. The security alert has now ended.

DUP and collapsing the Executive:
Damage limitation 1:
> Collapse it. Gamble on unionism praising them Vs nationalism galvainising
Damage limitation 2:
> Don't collapse it. Gamble on praise of governing. Nationalism galvanised via. Drumcree hate fest.
- Nationalism wins!

This is typical of archaic unionism.
Pretending that they're so superior that others successes are, in fact a misfortune.
Was the same when UDR/RUC et al where murdering and collusion called out "not our boys!"
Not going back...
Ulster Unionist Peer Lord Empey has claimed that the Drumcree dispute has “boomeranged on the long-term aims of republicans”.

I'm unsure if @SuitorBrothers is from NI.
> Was he expecting warmth and understanding?
- Let's hear who people should vote for & why: brave enough, Christopher?...
A Belfast businessman has backed away from plans to stand in next year’s council election.
Chris Suitor said he does not want to “put my head above the parapet” following the latest tensions surrounding Drumcree.

Good news that another gun is off the streets.
> Those that think they go unnoticed with modern technology alone are guaranteed to be caught.
Two men have been remanded into custody after police found a handgun in a field behind the Creggan housing estate in Derry.
Detectives arrested the defendants under the Terrorism Act following searches in the city.

Siege mentality rules the waves.
> Cemented to the past, the present someone else's fault, and the future ignored.
I don't know where to begin with this level of ignorance. This is Carla, having purchased a painting from an exhibition. Delighted to find a 'special place in my office' for a scene of riot police at Drumcree, forcing a march down the road. This is why people are fleeing unionism

The "Michelle O'Neill must go!" Isn't supported by the DUP.
Amazing that social media campaigners and noise think this is a viable strategy.
> If Ms. O'Neill was removed - what then?

Anyone else really bored of the same nationalist and unionist commentators being platformed?
Narrative saturation: The same message over, and over...

Has Ian Paisley been interviewed by the DUP internal inquiry team in relation to Jeffrey Donaldson crimes?
@JimGamble_INEQE - What stage is the inquiry at & do you foresee a report coming before January 2027?
"Four to six months" - Your original timetable. (June 2026)
Three years before Jeffrey Donaldson was arrested, DUP MP Ian Paisley said he had spoken to someone he said was a “victim” of Donaldson - and he tried to use that information for political ends. The Belfast Telegraph has obtained the evidence.

"Out strategy delivered us five successful court wins" - Orange Order
"Michelle O'Neill must go" - @carlalockhart
> These are now all slogans, @StephenNolan, zero strategy from Portadown
- @EoinTennyson is right, this is all hardline minorities are wagging society.
