Would an Anti-Semitic march be allowed through Golders Green on a Saturday?

If the Belfast Fleadh hadn’t been so successful. If Jeffrey Donaldson hadn’t been caught. If Arlene Foster hadn’t backed Brexit….. Garvaghy Rd 2.0 would not have kicked off. @sjamcbride.bsky.social @malodoherty.bsky.social

@malodoherty.bsky.social thinks that the Portadown OO was just an ineffectual ‘little clatter of grandads’, with an ‘eccentric’ ‘fixation’! What would he think of a Catholic Accordion marching up the Shankhill Road on Easter Monday? A KKK march in Harlem NY in full regalia? @sjamcbride.bsky.social

Bryson, Sinn Féin and Portadown Lodge gain from Drumcree standoff... but the peace process suffers most
So, who gains by the standoff on the Garvaghy Road? Jamie Bryson gains. His argument that nationalism sees the peace process as a one-way street is now easier to make.

Unionism, parts thereof, chose to re-incarnate Drumcree. It’s a political moment the Police, Courts & Institutions couldn’t handle. Portadown’ action was intended to create division. There is no ‘middle ground’ on which any FM can stand neutral. A CNR band on Shankhill? @sjamcbride.bsky.social

Portadown OO lads shouldn’t be out in this inclement weather. We don’t want them getting pneumonia!! They can now walk indoors to their hearts content with this wonderful service.

As the First Minister behaves like a medieval monarch, flouting courts she’s bound to respect, Stormont is lurching towards collapse
O’Neill’s view of her power akin to that of Richard Nixon, and has profoundly disturbing implications in other areas

The really sad thing is that inches *are* boldness in our current stultifying and heavily restricted mediasphere, whose hysteria has served Britain very badly over the past half-century.

Would the EU be better off with England remaining out of the EU until after United Ireland and #ScottishIndependence comes about? Europe needs to believe that the English are FULLY committed to permanent membership.

@hamishfalconermp.bsky.social and @anassarwar.bsky.social should be removed as minister for trade after this massive cock up. Their infantile negotiating tactics are making matters worse. Anyone thinking they can brow beat Maroš Šefčovič is a moron. Falconer & Sarwar are morons.

So gutless Burnham is ‘walking back’ what he said in the commons. He is back on the leash of the English Home Office. A poodle. #ScottishIndependence will be taken by Scots.

The failed tactics of London ministers Hamish Falconer & Anas Sarwar will increase England’s isolation from EU. Making ‘Made in Europe’ a deal breaker was 💯 f*ing stupid. Burnham needs to fire them both & fully accept the Youth Mobility program. EU isn’t going to entertain any more childish shįť.

But of course Europe is made of small countries. And those countries - Finland, Czechia, Slovenia, Greece, Belgium - have long memories of being told what to do by those same middle powers. It wasn't nice. We built Europe to avoid a return to those days. 7

I’ve been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promote rejoining the EU without even a morsel of insight into why the EU might want them at all.

The ‘Special Relationship’ dilusion inhabiting parts of Westminster & Whitehall is part responsible for the failure of England to move beyond Brexit.

This is a hugely significant moment. For the first time since 2014, Scottish Labour accept Scotland’s right to decide our own future, just as the Prime Minister has. We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard. news.stv.tv/politics/mic...

The @snp.org strategy for getting a referendum is showing results. I was dubious about it but I’m pleased to be wrong. The alternative was UDI after a GE, like Ireland’s exit after the 1918 GE. #ScottishIndelendence

‘devolved powers’ are granted by the central government through statutes and can be changed or taken back, meaning the state remains unitary. Phook that! #ScottishIndependence @johnswinney.bsky.social @snp.org

It’s so depressing that, 28 years after the GFA, the largest Unionist party of the period thinks that the best response to calls to break up the UK is have an Anti-Catholic summit in Edinburgh.

Population of Canada @ 42m is a little bit bigger than that of Poland and smaller than Spain. However the ‘association’ crystallises we must not confuse the size of the market with the land mass. However that landmass does have security benefits for Europe and that helps to maintain peace.🥳
