#Drumcree is indeed an echo of the dark past. Residents have asked for an #InternationalMediator. This echoes 1969. The #OutspanBrigade are being used to collapse the power sharing agreement and return to #DirectRule (1912). This would effectively end #IrishUnity www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I have spent a daycent chunk of the day watching the shite show from #Drumcree / #GarvaghyRoad. It's an enormous step back. And I have had in mind so many that who are no longer here, including a recently deceased friend, to whom the events would have been more than traumatic. Why go back?

Ok , so think on me here … A man was found #guilty of the historical rape of a 9 year old girl and an 11 year old girl when he was 25 years old. He has been brought for #sentencing and his #lawyer has said that the crimes obliterate all that he has achieved, and this should be mitigation. Really?

#Police vans are now blocking the head of the #Garvaghy Road. There is an additional barricade behind them. And then the resident protest behind that. It seems the #loyalists and the 35 brave boys from the #outspan #brigade have fecked off for the night.
