Will SF get a Bryson bounce in the polls? Good to see the SF leadership acknowledge, last Sunday, that current words & actions causes hurt and retraumatisation of the victims of past events. Will this mean that the veneration of the IRA, by SF members, is effectively prohibited?

The Shinners poll ratings were steadily dropping because of the lack of delivery at Stormont. They probably would have even decreased further by the time of next May's election. Now they probably will get "a Bryson bounce". Well done, Jamie!

Truly vile. At a public event, Mike Graham mocked Andy Burnham’s father for having Alzheimer’s, less than three weeks after Roy Burnham died and apparently on the day of his funeral. Just the lowest of the low.

This is about competing rights and with those rights come responsibilities. Just because the OO have won the right to walk down the Garvaghy Rd doesn't mean they should. I agree that there are people using this to further their own ends. No coincidence that there is an election coming up.

The residents should allow the OO to march down the road on the proviso that they can wear their collarettes and nothing else. The OO will get their march and the residents will not be intimidated by a bunch of auld lads walking in the nip on a cold and wet morning in October.

So are you saying that the Southern Irish should spend their time and resources to sort our shit out and park their own problems regarding housing and cost of living? I don't think anyone will put you in charge of selling an UI. Also, you are implying that Northern Sinn Fein are useless.

This crisis presents itself at a time when both the DUP and SF have underwhelming leaders, people without the ability to find a way out of intractable positions. Politics is the art of the possible. It requires leaders to find a way. Neither appears to want to, perhaps because neither is able to.

They can only go on the info provided to them which is a failing of both the GRRC & SF to provide up to date info. 28 years is a long time & most people would assume that attitudes would have soften in that time but obviously this was not conveyed to PC & PSNI. GRRC & SF cut corners like the PC.

You are mistaken. You were not name calling me, so I am not upset and an apology to me is not necessary. You were being abusive to a section of your fellow citizens which may say a lot about your own particular mindset.

Yep the PC ballsed up, but when the Court made the decision to overturn the decision both the residents assoc & SF were too slow to react because they thought the same decision would be made as the previous 28 years. If I was a Garvaghy Rd resident, I would be asking serious questions to GRRC & SF.

So you are saying that the Orange Order can have human rights and equality except on the Garvaghy Road. This shitshow will be decided by the Courts (not on the streets) about whose human rights has precedence. The Shinners need to practice what they preach.

sonofcathan @sonofcathan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Human rights and equality are a two way street. Like it or not, orangemen also have human rights and are entitled to equality. Treating them as a bogeyman to be despised will not further your cause one millimetre. In fact, it will probably be counter-productive in the long run.

sonofcathan @sonofcathan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I have no love for the Orange Order, but they exist & are a part of our society. Compromises will have to made by everyone for the greater good. Going by your handle, you want an united Ireland, but you don't seem to want an united people with everyone living separately in their little ghettos.

sonofcathan @sonofcathan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
"Their street". The dividing up of urban areas, villages, towns as "ours" & "theirs" is symptomatic of the sectarianism that pervades our society. This is also an an excuse used for racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric by the far right. "They" are invading our country or "they" don't belong here.

Oh, this is definitely a both sides issue. The orangemen hate the residents and the residents hate the orangemen. Almost 30 years on from the Good Friday Agreement and secretarian bigotry still dominates our politics.

Unfortunately, there is still a hard rump of people on both sides who still hate "them'uns". Our sectarian politics needs to keep the population divided in order to survive. Being in the Union or an unified Ireland will not change this mindset.

There is very little that he can do. The Parades Commission made a decision on the evidence provided to it by the Orange Order, the Residents and Sinn Fein and other policians. This has been upheld by the High Court. As far as I know, he can't overrule a Court decision.
