Someone should be appointed to do a rapid review of this saga, it could be completed swiftly. When was the asbestos risk first identified, who was aware, what was done, not done & considered. Is there an audit trail of risk assessments, referrals & policy decisions? Transparency!.
A worrying development - @BelTel understands that loose asbestos has been discovered earlier today at the controversial Village bonfire site - as police confirm they won’t intervene

The idiots who put the boat and mannequins on top of the bonfire have tainted what ought to be an expression of culture. If they get a knock on the door it’s no one’s fault but their own.

Serious questions for @belfastcc on their handling of this matter. Also Pat Sheehan MLA said PSNI should intervene because the Council passed a motion. The PSNI are operationally independent & make their own assessment of the relevant risks of intervening versus not intervening.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland has taken the decision not to assist a request from Belfast City Council for the removal of material from a south Belfast bonfire site. Full statement:

Unsurprising decision by the PPS. The system does not treat child abuse images seriously enough and it also does not reflect the abuse of a position of trust properly. Leadership required to fix the system.

The hundreds of bonfires that cause no problems will be drowned out by this sick spectacle. Wrong in and of itself and totally counter productive for those who seek to advance the cause of unionism.

The proposal for penalty notice tickets for assaulting police officers (or our other front line emergency workers) or for assaults that occasion actual bodily harm (AoABH includes minor limb breaks!) gets a firm NO from me 👇.
A former senior PSNI officer has hit back at proposals by the Justice Minister to bypass court prosecutions and hand down "parking ticket” style fines for assaults on police or violent attacks on the public.

The diligent care Norman Tebbit provided to his wife Margaret who was paralysed by the Brighton Bomb was in stark contrast to the evil cowardice of the bomber Patrick Magee. He said his initial emotion after the explosion was one of “relief” that his murderous bomb had detonated.

The moment the female officers nose was broke in the Manchester airport incident. The statement the Home Secretary put out after a snippet of video was released lacked any balance, as did much of the political commentary.
