Clip @ViewFrmStormont . Instead of being unable to set a budget, we should be showing fiscal responsibility & then with credibility making a case to the government for NI to reduce corporation tax and pilot a reduction in VAT for hospitality & tourism to transform our economy.

Beating an animal to make it perform is not an error of judgement - it is abuse. If this report is accurate, I’ve no sympathy for Dujardin.

32 years ago, the IRA murdered 9 innocent people in the Shankill Bombing. Gerry Adams carried the coffin of the bomber, Thomas Begley, who died by his own bomb. @uuponline will never accept that Begley was a victim - he was a victim maker.

My grandfather landed on Sword Beach on D-Day with his two best friends, collectively nicknamed the BBC (Burrows, Beck and Crangles). Hugh Crangles, a catholic from the Falls Road never came home. This is his grave in Normandy. We must never forget the sacrifice. Quis separabit.

This day exactly 30 years ago, Mr Adam’s sent a very different message to the world. The Shankill bomber Thomas Begley, was buried with full IRA “honours”.

Easter Saturday 2018 was my favourite policing operation. We arrested the entire CIRA colour party in full formation in the Kilwilkie estate in Lurgan. 8 people were charged, remanded & convicted of unlawful procession & wearing terrorist uniform. They no longer parade like this.

It is National Police Memorial Day. In Northern Ireland policing has been uniquely dangerous & yet this is the only place in the UK where some in power say murdering an officer was justified. Let’s show our gratitude & respect to the RUC GC, PSNI and remember the fallen. #NMPD25

The suspicion of many is that Reform UK is an English nationalist party, not a UK unionist one. Such a post confirms this.

It’s an offence under s.13 Terrorism Act 2000 to wear clothing that creates a suspicion you support a proscribed organisation - Hamas is proscribed. We cannot be a society that tolerates & normalises this behaviour, whatever our politics. My blog addressed this point (see bio).

The Omagh bomb was made in the Rep of Ireland, was transported into Omagh from ROI & the bombers went straight back there. Irish security agencies were actively monitoring RIRA over this period & had infiltrated them. The Irish government needs to do more.

Young people posting videos laughing and encouraging people to attack & set light to buildings will find out the hard way that the offences of incitement to riot & arson can carry very heavy sentences.

I submitted a formal complaint to the Bar of Northern Ireland about Joe Brolly’s outrageous conduct. The Bar has confirmed it’s under formal investigation. Women and girls must be able to trust legal professionals - Brolly’s behaviour undermines that. Action is needed.
