Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Nationalists and others in assembly talking about no going back to the dark days, about going forward. Unionists meanwhile shouting and demanding like it's still the 1950s.The reality is the orange state has crumbled and unionist hegemony has gone. They need to accept that. 001
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Comments from those supporting the Garvaghy road community have been by and large measured. The language from unionists has been imflammatory to say the least. What on earth are they trying to do here. 120
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Loyalists once again on a (literally) hill. Marched up there as usual by their supposed 'leaders' in unionist politicians. Problem is, those same politicians have no idea how to march them back down again. 020
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This year alone, unionist politicians and gibbering hangers on like Bryson have, tacitly or otherwise, approved of, supported, or encouraged, dozens of illegal protests, many violent, by right wing racist mobs. Suddenly these same people are demanding the rule of law is upheld. 03815
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The parades commission expecting the community on the Garvaghy road to pay for their mistake. They have unleashed the sleeping genie from the bottle. It's going to be an extremely difficult task to contain it again. Stupid, irresponsible decision to allow this parade. 130
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Odious little toe rag Bryson continues to stir things up. Slimey prick can hardly contain his glee at the thought of heightened tensions. 010
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026 Drumcree had largely disappeared, from the minds of the vast majority of people. The parading issue was relatively settled in recent years, but the orange order, loyalists, and it seems, almost all of political unionism, have caused it to flare again. To what ends is the question we all should ask. 030
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I would suggest Carla Lockhart refects on her long history of offensive pot stirring before calling others comments 'outrageous'. The fact that she goes on to decribe residents who want to live in peace and free from sectarian coat trailing as a 'rabble' is a case in point. 000
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Thoughts with the people of Garvaghy road, in a couple of hours time they will be penned in like cattle to allow a group of sectarian, supremacist neanderthals walk through their community, violating their rights to live in peace and free from fear. Disgraceful that this is allowed. 010

In this one, rather than simply using images as illustrations, I write about the uses to which they were put: "Images of Belfast, 1920-1922." thebelfastpogrom.com/2026/09/26/i...thebelfastpogrom.comImages of Belfast, 1920–1922This post examines the various ways in which images of the conflict – photographs, drawings and cartoons – were used: to illustrate news reports, to make political commentary and as propaganda. 053
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 25/09/202630 years of peace around Drumcree, deemed resolved. Indeed the issue long forgotten by 98% of the population. Until an inane decision by the parades commission coupled with unionist politicians vying for votes, regardless of the cost, caused it to rear it's ugly, sectarian head again. 022
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So very sorry to hear this. Loved her posts, and i always felt better educated after any interaction with her. 010
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 23/09/2026What is the point of the UN? It's not stopping/ preventing wars. It allows genocide to continue. It allows a country to threaten another country with annihilation without fear of sanction. It is powerless to get countries to take action on climate change. Once again, what is the point of the UN? 000

Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 13/09/2026MON is a legend, always will be. However, soccer has evolved, Martin's tactics haven't. Celtic need a hungrier, younger, more tactically dynamic manager. MON should be allowed to enjoy a long, honour filled retirememt. 000

Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 11/09/2026A 1% chance of an asteroid hitting Earth is enough for governments and agencies to take action and trigger planetary defence protocols. A leading researcher has stated that he believes that there is a 10% chance of AI destroying humanity in a decade and yet there appears to be little or no action. 000
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 10/09/2026What on earth kind of constitution, or democracy for that matter, has the USA got, that a sitting president can blatantly try to use the nation's money to buy an election. Next time USA talks about 'bananna republics' or 'anti-democratic regimes', the rest of the world should stop, point, and laugh. 000

Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 15/08/2026There has to more holding the media to account for their behaviour. It is not acceptable, and it should be subject to an immediate criminal investigation, that journalists and media outlets can literally, and not for the first time, hound someone to death. 000
Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Spend weeks/months attacking someone's character and integrity, and then pour out tributes and wring your hands after his death. Hypocrites. 000

Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Conor Murphy says the "wheels are coming off" the stormont project. Not surprising, given the DUPs refusal to fully embrace equality and change, and years of British government underfunding. It's time to set the whole thing aside and push for reunification of our island. 010

Martin @capallfada.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Claiming a genocide is a war should be declared a crime, even when uttered by a washed up, attention seeking former pop 'star'. Then again, it's only the Palestinian people, who, to humanity's eternal shame, are deemed people non grata, and their horrific fate of no consequence. 000
