🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled in favour of DULF in its constitutional challenge. This is HUGE for harm reduction and the fight for a safer alternative to the toxic unregulated drug supply. More to come… cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Not only do loyalists need to step away from Drumcree....they also need to step away from the AI images. Painful!

Fairweather fundamentalists.

Yikes! that escalated quickly. "The legal and human-rights question is therefore a different one: does the protection of freedom of assembly require that a procession be permitted to follow this particular route through this particular residential community?" Link in ALT.

Don't you just love it when a room full of British people in England discuss us amongst themselves and deliberately don't mention all of us to further frame SF as agitators in light of current events.
The Secretary of state for Northern Ireland: "We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those who showed phenomenal courage across the political spectrum 28 years ago" Then mentions everyone except Sinn Fein.

I'm not a bit well this morning and reading the words 'The Drumcree 35' has just sent me over the edge 🤮

69 times it took me to get through to my GP this morning. If only we lived in a place that cared more about the state of the health service than getting 35 men from a supremacist fraternity down a road to antagonise their neighbours.

RT @brendancbrowne: "But do you support their right to walk Garvaghy?" Has become the latest ahistorical, liberal, Celtic tiger loving, D4…

So many playing down Naomi Longs tweet. The important part is the comparison between OO & residents i.e 'I hold more hope...'due to Christian ethos of OO. Plenty have appealed to the ethos over the last few days without reaction. The comparisons is what is shocking.

Totally besides the point but "the mask has slipped" turn of phrase really grates on me.

Implying they wld understand why unionists wld use force to deny democratic vote for a New Ireland all because residents are stopping a sectarian parade being forced down their street. Important to remember the residents have stood peacefully. The implication of force is a lie.
"But here’s a last question: If nationalism cannot respect the law on a parade, and seeks to overturn it with force – why, oh why, in gods name, should any unionist ever respect the law on a democratic vote for unity?" johnandsarah.ie/p/on-drumcre…

Charging nationalists with not “having a commitment to the rule of law” is propaganda. No one accepts an authority without good reason. Insincere, moralising dog whistle to disguise annoyance that they are not submitting to the bullying source of this crisis like the PC did.

If the Parades Commission set a time and date how is the determination still live. If it is still live what is the point of determining a time and date?
The OO attempted to parade once again but have been stopped by police. The PSNI were asked if the dermination is 'still live". They replied 'yes it is' but they cannot facilitate the parade. Protesters are still gathering along the Garvaghy road. The road is not blocked. # UTV

"A protestant state for a protestant people" is going to end under the slogan of "No parade, No Stormont" and gloriously demonstrate that in over a century they had no interest in peace, reconcilation or making room for their neighbours.

I’ve never known so many to be invested in law & order, who stay silent around theft &destruction of public property, who didn’t demand resignations when families were being burnt out of their homes, mosques on bonfires & more Self righteousness rings slightly hollow today.

Are those the same men from yesterday?
UPDATE. A small group of Orangeman made a 4th attempt to march in the past hour. (They were blocked). Some Garvaghy residents have made a request for people to come and stand with them later this afternoon & this evening as they believe that the Orange Order will try again. More updates later...

‘YOU DIDN’T BATTER THE TAIGS LIKE WE WANTED YOU TO!’
Jamie Bryson tells the police at Drumcree: “It’s about time you grow a backbone and complete this march. The police have let us down.” He goes on to say: “There’s a determination, police it. That’s it. We are not moving until that happens.” @KellyBonner bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckz6z4z5…
