The British government knew this was going to happen at the outset of partition. It has probably taken longer than anyone imagined but there was always going to be a point where the growth in nationalist communities would counteract the initial loyalist majority and where growing numbers of Protestants would identify more with their Irish heritage than their British heritage. We aren’t quite there yet but we will get there in my lifetime I expect. Quite what that means for loyalist communities is less clear. Events of recent weeks will raise their concerns about a post-unification future and that could bring potential risks - as recent arms finds tend to suggest.
Would NI today be a much better place if the OO no longer existed?
The answer must be a resounding yes.
They no longer have the support of the Protestant community.
They are no longer wanted here with their supremacism and anti-Catholic hatred.
The rest of us want to move on.

Save Moore Street! 🇮🇪
Those who stood here in 1916 left us a legacy. Now it is our turn to stand up, save Moore Street and protect it for future generations.

Nigel Farage used Remembrance Sunday to defend Troubles veterans as "only following orders."
This video shows the brutal reality.
Patrick Magee & Frank McGuinness were shot and abused by troops in 1972.
The Army later admitted they were both entirely innocent.
Less we forget.

Disgraceful that loyalist sectarian paraders made the 5 finger salute at the site of the massacre of five innocent Catholics on the Lower Ormeau Road. Unionists determined to stir the pot.

Members of a supposedly impartial police force should not be members of a secretive loyal order.
It beggars belief that this is permitted.
They take an oath to that order that calls into question their duty to police with impartiality.

The right to protest in NI is not universally permitted.
Some state actors seem to believe it's up to them to decide who can protest & those they target are being criminalised for standing up for what is right & fair.
NI is getting worse by the day.
This witch hunt is wrong.

First was removal of 50:50 recruitment, ensuring continued Protestant dominance.
Then questionable policing of bonfires, marches v Garvaghy Road.
Now ex Deputy CC Judith Gillespie advising “PSNI built on proud legacy of RUC”.
Little wonder Catholics feel growing gulf with PSNI
PSNI still struggling to recruit Catholics, 25 years on - proportion of Catholic officers has largely plateaued for past 15 years rather than increasing as architects of reform intended. 👇

TODAY WE REMEMBER THE INNOCENT IRISH MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN MURDERED BY THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND. 🇮🇪
Bloody Sunday Derry, Whiterock Massacre Belfast, Springhill Massacre, the multiple innocent victims of plastic bullets fired by British Crown Forces, including many children, and countless other victims.
We remember 12 year old Majella O'Hare who was shot twice in the back and killed by a British Paratrooper as she walked to confession in County Armagh.
A Judge in a Diplock Court later acquitted the soldier who killed her.
None of those innocent victims ever obtained justice. The British Crown Forces who murdered them were never convicted for their crimes.
Their history is our history...
Their pain is our pain...
"And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter".
Seamus Heaney. 🇮🇪
