What I find to be totally belligerent is how GAA is publicised as a sport that is inclusive for all, yet here again we see terrorist commemorated via a memorial. Yet the national N.I. football team has been challenged as not inclusive enough for singing the National Anthem. 🤔

In the last lot of hours I have been mislabelled, and my identity questioned. I am a British born Loyalist. My father, an English born member of the British army & my mother born in Northern Ireland, give me my birth right to identify as a British citizen which I so proudly do.

To Remember is to Honour
There was a modest man, who died for us,
his name was never known.
He lays within a grave afar,
a simple cross of stone.
He had no thoughts of politics
just a passion to serve well.
Surrounded by a poppy field
to remind us where he fell.

Now Miss Eastwood understands how many people felt when it happened at the hands of SF back in January 2017, which played out over 36 long months. Not only were jobs lost but industries too, housing lists & repairs left us with backlogs that are felt to this day & people died.
I am angry about dire financial situation DUP have left NI in, I can only think of ppl in my constituency of Lagan Valley who are awaiting urgent surgery, are on housing lists or are in jobs that are now in jeopardy thanks to DUP.Lagan Valley & NI have had enough

From the hills and glens the call to arms was heard by one and all
And from the glens came brave young men to answer Ulsters call
T'was long ago we faced the foe, the Y.C.V and me
And by my side they fought and died, that Ulster might be free.

Trying to tarnish a lady who is actively working to better Northern Ireland via an alleged allegation of a family member is a whole new low for the media. Funny how this is front page news in the week that we have footage of a passed duty FM IRA member load a bomb into a car. 🤷🏻♀️
Despite his denials, secret documents found by the Belfast Telegraph show MI5 believed Emma Little Pengelly's father was "a leading member of the UDA" & key to an international missiles-for-arms plot by loyalist paramilitaries.

A veteran telling unionist time to get out of the trenches. The service personnel who fought and died in those trenches for our freedom, did so with honour and integrity. The thought of an all Ireland will never sit with me, when terrorists still threaten & maim for this outcome.
These conversations are happening whether we like it or not.
It’s time unionism got out of the trenches & showed some confidence, optimism & positivity in order to make the case for Northern Ireland & all its people.
