TIMOTHY GASTON, THE BALLYMENA PROTESTANT BOYS, THE TUV, THE DUP & THE UDA... @WorldNorthern Here is the full story from journalist Steven Moore in today's Sunday World. Timothy Gaston was given the opportunity by the newspaper to comment on several occasions during the past week but he declined to do so. The paper also reports that Tyler Hoey, the controversial DUP Councillor (who was slammed for liking a tweet glorifying the Greysteel Massacre and voicing support for the UDA) is also a member of the Ballymena Protestant Boys band as well as the Cloughfern Young Conquerors band. That band is also closely linked to the UDA. Earlier this year DUP MLA @PhillipBrett21 defended his support for the Cloughfern Young Conquerors and said that he was proud to have secured £100,000 in funding for Loyalist bands across North Belfast. Timothy Gaston, Phillip Brett, the TUV & the DUP regularly deliver 'moral sermons' in the Stormont Assembly about "links with terrorism" Just a few nights ago, masked UDA Men carried out a violent gang attack in Rathcoole in the constituency that Phillip Brett represents. They remain a fully active paramilitary & criminal organisation. Both the DUP & TUV now need to be fully scrutinised about their support for Loyalist bands who are directly linked with active Loyalist terrorist organisations. The hypocrisy is frankly breathtaking... @TGastonMLA @phillipbrett @tuv @duponline @bbcradioulster @UTVNews @BBCNewsNI @bbcnewsline @williamcrawley @BBCTalkback

Even in the past 48 hours the UDA has been carrying out assaults. Will the local media question Gaston about his links with a UDA band. Will they ask him outright to condemn the UDA?

🪉🇮🇪 GARVAGHY ROAD, THE LOWER ORMEAU ROAD, ARDOYNE, SPRINGFIELD ROAD, DUNLOY, DERRY CITY, BELLAGHY. 🟢 NO SECTARIAN PARADES 🟢 NO SECOND CLASS CITIZENS The attempt by parts of the Orange Order and a small bunch of extremists (led & orchestrated by a tiny Temu John Rambo) to march through Nationalist Areas again will FAIL. The days of an Orange State are OVER. 🟢 NO GOING BACK. 🪉🇮🇪

Gaston - Who is always the first person on his feet at Members Statements in the Stormont Assembly to preach about "terrorists", "lawbreaking" and the "Provos". Pure hypocrisy...

Out on the ground in Portadown tonight, local Sinn Fein councillor Catherine Nelson standing in support of local residents. An Orange Parade was held in Portadown tonight. The people of Ireland will continue to support the residents of Garvaghy Road. There will be no unwanted Orange Parade through an area which has suffered so much... 🪉🇮🇪 🟢 NO GOING BACK @CatSeeley #GARVAGHYROAD

BBCNI AND LOCAL POLITICAL BIAS - THE TIME HAS COME TO END THIS TRAVESTY... It's almost staggering that BBCNI has got away with this for so long... A heavily weighted bias in favour of those from a Unionist/Loyalist background. It has now frankly reached the point of almost total absurdity. Not least from the host of a Daily Radio Show, whose show now resembles one of those old illegal Loyalist Pirate Radio stations that use to broadcast during the Troubles. "Radio Free Ulster" was a Pirate Radio Station which used to broadcast from the Shankill Road in the 1980's. It has now been replicated each morning by BBC Radio Ulster. A simmering melting-pot of the very worst of political bias and incitement. Platforming individuals (many with no mandate whatsoever) who are given a stage to deliver a thinly-veiled message of malice towards another community. All of this conducted with relish every morning. Any semblance of partiality long since gone... The thousands of taxpayers here from a Nationalist background who pay for this service (including the astronomical salary of it's host) deserve much, much better. BBCNI Television also has big questions to answer in terms of it's framing & also its unbalanced highlighting of certain political events & indeed certain political parties. To be fair, there are some good journalists and broadcasters on BBCNI. Mark Carruthers, Mandy McAuley, Darran Marshall, Mark Simpson & others are people of credibility. However the direction of travel which is set by it's Director Adam Smyth is hugely questionable. His close relationship with high profile presenters is concerning. BBCNI's Annual Budget is £55 million. It is now failing in it's most basic requirement - To present shows in a professional manner with a fair & reasonable balance for people from every political background and persusion. At worst, one show in particular, is actually increasing political tensions here at a time when there is already massive political uncertainty. That is totally unacceptable and it is also totally unforgiveable. It must end and it must end now... @bbcni @bbcradioulster @bbctheview @BBCNewsNI @BBC #adamsmyth #mattbrittin @BBCNewsnight

There is no amount of intimidation, nor any amount of threats from podiums that will break the spirit of those who stand on the side of human rights. 🟢 NO UNWANTED SECTARIAN PARADES. 🟢 NO SECOND CLASS CITIZENS 🟢 NO GOING BACK #GARVAGHYROAD
