John Finucane apparently believes in the rule of law. This would be the same John Finucane who stood in defiance of the law as part of a terrorist inclusive mob.

Sinn Fein want to destroy Northen Ireland and unionism should be very wary of those who want to assist them. They’re very quick to identify the first step – but then what’s the plan? Don’t be led down an alley by someone who doesn’t know where they are going.

Today is the day that any concept of a “New Ireland” died. The lies, spin and promises. It was always nonsense, and that had been laid bare. I never want any discord. I want to build a brighter future for Northern Ireland - for all of us. I work to that every day. I believe every person in this place I serve sees that. When others, including the First Minister and her party, have behaved with utter recklessness and disregard for stability and our institutions, I believe in responsibility. I have always embraced those who are different from who I am, and endeavoured to show respect. I have witnessed the tradition I come from treated with such utter contempt and hatred. “Little room, Great Hatred” that is what I’ve seen. That is what we have all saw with our own eyes. I come from the Orange tradition. I am deeply proud of the warmth, compassion, depth and richness of that tradition. All of our traditions come from particular aspects or “sects”. By its very nature, they are “of “something and not “of” something else. They are exclusionary by the very nature of it pertaining to the particular tradition, beliefs or views of some, but it is not exclusionary by experience or engagement. Every religious order or community is exclusionary by doctrine, but not by outreach. We all deserve respect. That respect and tolerance threatens no one. It is hard to believe I have to explain the basics of this so many years after the principles of the Glorious Revolution and our human rights and civil rights frameworks, but here we are. I have been deeply, deeply offended by the way my traditions and culture have been described, treated and expressed. The behaviour, and jubilance tastelessly and appalling shown by some tonight only shines a light on their intolerance, hatred and ignorance. I will never be goaded into punishing the people of Northern Ireland for the reckless of Sinn Fein. But I am disgusted and furious of those who have played to their base and not for what is for everyone. In this election you have a choice - choose those who want Northern Ireland to work, and those who do all they can to make it so.

As i commented on the Garvaghy Road and relief that 'common sense' had prevailed. I was then regaled by the bigots and knuckledraggers with 'What do you know about Ireland and Irish history . Let me help you out there 🤣🤣🤣 @IrishUnity @Fni_film @NorthernIreland @mancirish

Yesterday, I went to the courts to support my DUP colleagues & fellow Unionists. What I witnessed was a pantomime of misogynistic sectarian mob mentality, with threats & harassment seemingly given a platform. We won’t be intimidated. We won’t be silenced. We stand together.

Spokesperson for residents Mr McKenna is quoted in today’s Irish News making clear “there is only one acceptable outcome” in the Court of Appeal, and that is “no Orange march”. Put simply, the law must go their way, they demand, and if it does not, then they will just lawlessly defy it. I never thought it possible that the balaclava could slip so much.

Scotland taking a stand in support of the lawful 35, who are being denied their lawful rights by a nationalist/republican mob.

I condemn the intervention of the Irish PM, Deputy PM and Foreign Minister in the Parades Commission’s Garvaghy Road decision. This is an internal NI matter, firmly within Strand 1 of the GFA. Irish Ministers should not interfere, nor should the British Government invite them.

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there. Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.
