Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I like Carl, but he’s made a big play of being someone able to straddle both sides of the NI divide having married a girl from west Belfast when he’s hailed from tigers bay so it’s not naiveté. He gets the role sports can play and that it is political 110

Moralising flim flam of a dog whistle to disguise annoyance that they are not submitting to the bullying source of this crisis like the Parade Commission did. 2163
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yes I actually tuned into Today thinking it might get a few minutes across the 2 hours given it’s a Saturday and bit of space to cover it….but nada. Even though the PM was questioned about it by BBC NI during his regional around in advance of conf so they had a line to use…. 011
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 26/09/2026In the context of no agreed budget and the SoS saying he might have to impose one. Not sure how SF could live with that (given it means their ministers implementing cuts) in current climate if the march goes ahead. Commissions decision is bizarre so court may throw out…. 100
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not sure how it will survive if SoS imposes a budget that involves cuts now….. 010
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 14/09/2026They absolutely didn’t. What material benefit is there to them other than slightly poking unionists in NI? It won’t motivate their voters cause it’s distraction fluff. 110
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 14/09/2026One of the many reasons this was a mistake by SF. It elevates those who need it, and gives them nothing in return. Irish unification is about correcting the mistake of partition, not about erecting borders where none have existed for several centuries. 100
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Strange since Mary Lou was at the meeting and it lists the other two as party leaders. Maybe cause ML is Dublin based. 100
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 14/09/2026She’s not, Mary Lou has signed it. It’s essentially an ‘agreement’ between the respective parties which media are helpfully framing as a ‘agreement between first ministers’ Stupidity from SF, no benefit to them and actually elevates cause of Scot/Wales that doesn’t have same legitimacy as a UI 110
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I mean they’ll get lucky more than once. I’m questioning the sustainability of the threat. Not that it doesn’t exist. 010
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Remain unconvinced that the ‘loyalist violence’ threat is as significant as people make out. Despite loyalists active state assistance IRA was the more sophisticated org and loyalists main option is to use what guns they have to do random shootings which in today’s world won’t last long IMV 010

Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Also, given that *Drumcree* is in the news again it’s damming that she chose this week to come to sort of argument about ‘nuance’ to a specific anti Catholic organisation seeking to whip up tensions supported by the main unionist party. Might be a clue as to why ppl questioned her in the 1st place 000
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Part of what drove undercurrent of sectarianism that her confused answers gave impression of something to hide that there was more to the story. The media knowing a) wasn’t FG first choice b) had only recently said she wasn’t up for another campaign kept poking at the sore and maintained it in focus 000
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I agree it was bad, but there’s no part in Humphrey’s reflections that her own confused answers over her husbands membership of the Orange and her attendance played a part in driving the toxic debate. Though not wanting an orange man in the Aras isn’t sectarian and shouldn’t be controversial. 210
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I didn’t say she didn’t. But that’s not why she lost. 100
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I see Humphries is still trying to pretend it was sectarianism, rather than her awfulness as a national candidate, as reason she lost. She gave incorrect and confused answers to questions which led to some of the problems she faced. 110
Ryan M @lightyear87.bsky.social · 05/09/2026In fairness, we still have a lot of where the state won’t intervene and in some cases facilitates it. Biggest concern of today’s scenes is they clearly had no intel in advance. Be the problems at Teesside or the today’s problems, cops/intelligence not looking v effective 040
