Words cannot describe how thankful I am to the amazing NHS staff for the skill care and professionalism shown to me today. The surgery is curative and I can't believe how well I feel. Thanks also for all the kind messages and prayers, God has answered them mightily.

I have contacted the Public Prosecution Service and Attorney Generals office today asking for the lenient sentence handed down to Billy Walker to be appealed. A man in his 50s grooming teenagers is perverse,sickening and unacceptable. The punishment must be increased

Cringeworthy comments from CBI in NI that there would be no food on the shelves. The bulk of the food on the shelves is produced within the UK. Embarrassing themselves and scaring people who don’t know the facts.

SF leader states that the Northern Ireland Protocol protects the Good Friday Agreement, but when asked how 4 times on GMU makes no defensible case to back up the assertion. Embarrassing waffle and obfuscation instead.

SF, SDLP, Alliance and Greens all voted for the rigorous implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. The outcome of such to block generic medicines and medical equipment, many parcels, expensive checks on most food. So much for the outrage about health and cost of living.

I seldom watch BBC, but will tune in for Match of The Day tonight. It used to be my favourite programme.

So the NIO have persuaded Minister Baker to apologise to RoI over the protocol. RoI has pressed for the imposition of barriers to NI consumers, driven costs of retail goods higher and used photos from the 70s in a misleading way. It is the people of NI who need matters put right.

The sentence handed down to Billy Walker is incredibly light. What he was convicted of merited a custodial sentence.

It is incredibly hypocritical for parties which demanded an end to majority rule in Northern Ireland to now complain they don't have majority rule.

As one of the many families who were denied the the right to show their respects for a precious loved one. I am entirely disgusted at the political decision of the PPS not to prosecute those who defied the same rules in full public view.

Appalling that a professional footballer and supposed role model wears a top glorifying an organisation that murdered thousands and injured tens of thousands.

Anyone with a modicum of sense will reject a Sinn fein dominated united Ireland. irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/1…

Michelle O'Neill needs to understand the difference between an attack and being challenged. It's pretty straightforward, the primary human right we have is the right to life. The failure to condemn the taking of life by any paramilitary organisation should be challenged.

So last week Michelle O'Neill was celebrating gun runner Martin Ferris career. The same Mr Ferris met Gardai killer and thief Pearse McCauley as he left jail. He is now back in jail for assaulting and stabbing his wife 13 times in three hours of torture.
