This is the Moygashel 12th July bonfire. Many bonfires receive huge funding and backing from loyalist paramilitary groups. The PSNI facilitate this and councils clean up after them. This paramilitary backed hate is being justified live on BBC Radio Ulster. The state is rotten to the core.

I think when a Prime Minister, or other Ministers say they are acting in the best interests of the country, they should be obliged to offer a short explanation of what they believe is good for the country, and how their actions help achieve it. Our politicians claim this, but never explain.

It's genuinely not as important as the situation in Ukraine, but if Starmer continues his appeasement policy the need for Scottish independence has never been more critical. At the moment, Westminster is stopping any chance of us being part of a European alignment.

Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the Brexit question
Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?

Labour hides its pointless Five Objectives behind word salad. Instead it -could- be promising tangible benefits. But it doesn't. Because then it would have to deliver and failure would be obvious. Which wouldn't help that Starmer 2nd term ambition. Better just to waffle, as Richard explains..
