If the mayor of Dublin, Manchester or London was being targeted in the way John Finucane is, it would be on national news, but in this statelet, sectarian hatred is embraced and supported by people in power😡. The way to fight back is to vote for John in your thousands✌️🇮🇪

These Bonfires bring nothing positive to the community. They lead to anti-social behaviour and destruction in local areas. Those involved should stop, and be part of positive alternatives.

There’s a real anger in our community today. Anger at how victims & their families were treated on the Ormeau Road by the PSNI contrasted with the scenes witnessed a few days ago in east Belfast. There is no justification for the PSNI’s actions today.

For me it’s not what Kate Hoey wrote about, that’s to be expected from those who wish for the good old days of unionist misrule. The story in all of this is the leader of unionism, Jeffery Donaldson welcoming her input & saying the report was a welcome contribution🤔
