Big thanks to the DUP, Reform, Tories etc for stirring this up all day. Thugs are now attacking people's homes in Belfast, wrecking hostels, checking cars at roadblocks for 'immigrants', burning vehicles and generally scaring the shit out of people. Hope you're all proud of yourselves.

Now this sounds like a fun job.
I bet that if they hire you you could sneak around the monument on your own at night, touch the stones, chant incantations, bring back the ancestors and sacrifice a tourist or two.
You know, the usual.

Hey @royalsociety.org, are you endorsing what your Nazi fellow is doing?
Really, really, really object to any news corporations labelling people setting fire to cars, houses and attacking police as 'protesters'
Iain Banks died last Sunday, just before the publication of his final novel The Quarry. Last month he talked to Stuart Kelly about writing, politics and all the things still left to do . . .
