Why ask for crowd funding to defend against something which you say is not true? Surely it’s best to let matters take their course & eventually truth will out through evidence in the courts or some other investigative process?

It would be a huge mistake for hardline loyalists to believe there’s any emotional attachment to Stormont by the nationalist community. The Windsor Framework will remain. Labour won’t be renegotiating with EU. Time for a new Anglo- Irish Agreement.chew grass if you want lads!

My column in today’s Irish News. Stormont was built in 1932 - it was a monument to unionist supremacy. It was built in the middle of the Great Depression when Catholic unemployment was 40% - general unemployment 28% & unionists paid outdoor relief half the rate of UK!
"It's hard to comprehend that in the middle of a cost of living crisis, unionist agreement is centred on having a monument erected to mark the creation of Northern Ireland."
