Let's Get Political!

[Bob's Orange]

I'm really concerned with what is happening in Belfast currently. The brother-in-law lives in Donegal and is a Garda (policeman) in Letterkenny, which is one of the border towns very close to (London)Derry City and there is very likely to be tensions around there given what is happening.

I saw a couple of videos from Belfast last night and it appears to be 14-18 year olds wearing hoodies and balaclavas throwing petrol bombs at a bus whilst its driving down the road. You couldn't pay me enough money in the world to drive a bus in Belfast at the moment!

Belfast is crazy at the moment, Derry and NewtonAbbey not far behind. Most of my family have had the sense to move out of there, but there are a few still there in the more rural areas. Such a shame as it really is a beautiful place when the vocal minority are not causing problems.

It's sad. Northern Ireland is a lovely place, went to Belfast and drove up to the Giant's Causeway. Everyone I met was friendly.

Just for the record, its now being reported that the drier was off the bus before it was petrol bombed and it was moving by momentum only, not aying it was right but thank christ the driver got off.

As for the rioters, as noted above the DUP met with paramilitary leaders a few weeks back, these being the same paramilitary groups who run the drugs trade over there and its being reported this morning that same are threatening to increase drug debts for anyone that refuses to riot. this has nothing to do with “not being heard”.

Ah that's a relief about the driver.

I bought the Daily Mirror, The Guardian and the I today 😉

Along with The Sun, D. Telegraph, D. Mail, D. Express, The Times and The D. Star. Only two more significant events to wait for and I’ll have a Panini style hat-rick to store away for my lads to fight over when I’m gone.

The uk really has become slightly less institutionally racist.

Dreadful isn’t it.

Priti Patel has just appointed as head of Counter Extremism a man who is a far-right extremist, with links to far right anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim hate groups in the US

Home Office quoted in the article as saying "Robin Simcox was appointed as interim Lead Commissioner, due to his wealth of expertise in the area of extremism". Erm, yeah, due to being one himself.

[hobodan]

Nothing wrong with a far right extremist to counter balance the left wing extremists prevent in society (including this forum).

It’s amusing the rubbish you believe Paul 😂 our Priti will sort you c*nts out. All hail Priti 🤡

Priti couldn't sort out her own show laces.

How anyone is ok with voting Tory lately or in my lifetime is beyond me. They've always been cunts.

Because the alternative is a bigger bunch of cunts with captain hindsight’s crew which still reek of Corbyn’s communist lunatics and their constant divisive politics. Everything with the left is about race, sex, sexuality, gender etc. It’s just so tedious, and is the reason Labour won’t be in power for a very long period. The public gave Labour a huge kick in the nuts, and will continue to do so if they carry on with extreme left wing politics. Whilst cosmopolitan soy latté drinkers may vote labour, they aren’t appealing to the masses outside of these conurbations. Which is a relief.
