Your reminder that just last month in Belfast at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, Catholics and Nationalists applauded Orange bands from East Belfast joining in the festival. It was an act of unity and love that appalled the Orange Men in Portadown now trampling on Garvaghy residents.

Loyalists mocking people of Garvaghy Road for living happily alongside Muslims in harmony fails to grasp the lessons of history. As Muhammad Ali once said “I ain’t got no quarrel with the Vietcong. No Vietcong ever called me a _ _ _ _ _ _ “.

• Since 1999 the Orange Order, Unionists & loyalists have held 60,000 parades - at least 12,000 of those were Orange Order led. • 97% of loyalist and Orange Order parades were granted without any restrictions. Unfettered. Orange Order victimhood is artificially engineered.

• Article 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights (to which the UK is signed up) allows for “spontaneous demonstration” where no adequate means to lodge notification exists • Such as court overturning a Drumcree ban at 2am on a Sunday morning! Garvaghy’s demo was legal

• Section 25 of Parades Commission decision to allow Drumcree March says it based it on a judgment by the PSNI that there would be no disorder. • Meanwhile the PSNI drafted in 200 extra cops from Scotland. Did the PSNI mislead the commission or just get it horribly wrong?

Appalling decision by the Parades Commission to allow a fundamentalist triumphalist far right procession of sectarian bigotry down the Garvaghy Road. The consequences of this error will be felt for years to come.

Jeremy Corbyn built the Labour Party to nearly 600,000 members. Guess how much 600,000 members paying a £5 monthly membership equates to? Answer: £36 million a year. You don’t need crypto bros when you have party powered by ordinary people like you and me.

Smart move by Starmer to resign as MP now. • Burnham was scheduled unveil taking public services into public control and sanctions on illegal settlements. • This switches focus away from that to a seat Zack Polanski stands a very good chance of winning. Starmer’s Revenge.

That time 39 years ago when they offered another black man a role at Cambridge University- this time a visiting fellowship. Note in particular the mocking of the quality of Benjamin’s poetry.

UK’s newest prison HMP Millsike was handed to a private profit making corporation to run for a 10 year contract worth £329 million. UK taxpayers build prisons only to hand them to profit making corporations who have no financial incentive to rehabilitate. Nationalise Prisons

Burnham is correct. Refugees have been ghettoised for decades into the UK’s lowest quality housing in poorer parts of northern cities including Glasgow, Belfast & Liverpool. Ironically, the Home Counties folk who whine most about refugees don’t accommodate them in their shires.
