Paramilitaries (UVF/IRA) were responsible for 90% of Troubles deaths. If you excuse the perpetrators of one murder you excuse the perpetrators of all murders.

This is neither a unionist nor a nationalist account. I don't mind if Northern Ireland leaves the UK or stays in it. What I do mind is the whitewashing of history to turn terrorists – whether in the UVF or the IRA – into “heroes” or “patriots”. They were nothing of the sort.

Honest question for those attending demonstrations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza right now. Is your preference that the State of Israel ceases to exist, and that what is now Israel becomes part of a new state, along with the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, called Palestine?

I don’t have a lot of followers on here, so feel free to retweet my original comment. I’m genuinely curious.

Look at this scumbag trying to minimise the IRA's cold-blooded murder of women by saying Jean McConville was just "one death". Remind him of... Joanne Mathers (aged 29) Caroline Moreland (34) Catherine Mahon (27) Margaret Ann Hearst (24) Gillian Johnson (21) Mary Travers (22)
@Glinner That’s it? That’s your entire argument? One death out thousands. You didn’t give a shit when women were being slaughtered by loyalists and crown forces. But now you’re the spokesman for Irish women. Get ta fuck, you fraud.

The Sinn Féin PA Christy is referring to is Jason Lambert (his Twitter username is "jasonlambertSF"). Infamously, on the anniversary of the murder of Max Olorunda and Mark Cochrane, Lambert chose to commemorate the IRA man who killed them and ignore the victims altogether.
As a supporter of SF and follower of SF , I was contacted via twitter about doing a pile on, on some twitter users. This eventually led to my banning hence my new account. The person who contacted me is a PA of a certain SF td. He gave us information on people.

Gabriel Megahy was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison for trying to smuggle guns from America. He was one of the few IRA members to be completely honest about what the Belfast Agreement was. It wasn't a victory for the IRA. It was a defeat.

Unionists have every right not to support the Windsor Framework or the Northern Ireland Protocol more generally. They do not have the right to use violence or the threat of violence to see either one removed. Those that do should be locked up. Simple as that.

194 loyalist prisoners were released early under the Good Friday Agreement, on the basis of their “opposition to any use or threat of force”. If loyalists are now threatening violence, those prisoners should be made to serve the remainder of their sentences. Share if you agree.

Sad news about the journalist Henry McDonald. I highly recommend his book Gunsmoke and Mirrors. McDonald does a great job of breaking down how preposterous it is to claim the Provos fought so that Sinn Féin could take up seats in a devolved assembly of the United Kingdom.

Fantastic stuff from former GAA footballer Jarlath Burns, talking about mutual respect between those with a British identity and those with an Irish identity in Northern Ireland. Regardless of who you vote for, mutual respect can only be a good thing. https://t.co/0gwWaGgGFX

On this day in 1978, the Provisional IRA murdered 12 people – seven women, five men – when an incendiary bomb they planted at the La Mon Hotel went off. IRA man Robert Murphy admitted to planting it. He received 12 life sentences. Another proud moment in the “freedom struggle”.

Just compare the dignity with which Burns speaks to lowlifes like ‘corkyback’, who pollute this site every day with their bile, because they have nothing else to offer.

On this day in 1992, the UDA murdered five people - and injured another nine - when they opened fire in Sean Graham's bookmakers on the Lower Ormeau Road in Belfast. The victims ranged in age from 15 to 66. If you think for one second that such acts are justified, you're scum.

On this day in 1974, the Provisional IRA murdered an entire family – mother, father, and two children – when they bombed a bus carrying off-duty soldiers on the M62 in West Yorkshire. Targeting off-duty soldiers is a war crime. Murdering their children is beyond that. It's evil.

I've shared details of dozens of loyalist victims, but apparently not enough for Mairtín. To be fair, I don't spend all my time on Twitter. He's tweeted over 15,900 times since joining the platform in Jan 2021 (20+ tweets a day, every day). He really needs to get a girlfriend.
@VictimsTroubles Notice you didnt bother to mention young Philip Rafferty yesterday. Too busy what the buts and whatabouteries. Clearly in your opinion he wasnt as important as other victims. Sad and pathetic.

@MacgMairtin Yes, calling on Soldier F to be prosecuted is a real sign of my “mask slipping”. Face it. You’re a lowlife. And given that these were comments under a recent video of yours, and you didn’t call a single one of them out, you’re either spineless, a misogynist, or both.
