the British Army in the 1970s:
I sat in a safe house with Filipino families who were told they are not the target but don’t believe it. They have left Ballymena. They are considering leaving the north/NI/Ireland. Their windows were smashed and they had to flee with passports and the clothes on their back.
In a now deleted post, a DUP Minister broadcasts the location of a temporary shelter in Larne for people driven out of their homes by the loyalist pogrom in Ballymena. The leisure centre was subsequently attacked and set on fire.
“They’re probably Pakis, that’s why they’re away running upstairs. Put their windows in around them.” Not racism says the unionist political class. Just “legitimate concerns.”
remember the burning of Bombay Street remember that over 3000 catholic families were forced out of their homes / made homeless between August and September 1969 remember how the Northern state was initiated and sustained by pogroms against the minority Catholic population…
What we are witnessing in Ballymena is a modern-day pogrom. This is what awaits us in the South if we fail to seriously address the issue of the burgeoning far-right.
Grim scenes from Ballymena, a town that had exactly 0 people in receipt of asylum support in 2024. No "illegals" (not that any human should be seen that way); literally everyone was born there or was a legal migrant or refugee. (1/2)

@michaelmagee__ @sarahgilmartin_ i believe it was kim jong mick
I don’t think I’m being blinded by rage, biblical or otherwise, by noting that these are not equivalent acts.
mate called me Kim Jong Un when he saw me in that jacket and now that I see it, fair enough
I'm not quite sure where to start tonight with my weekly thanks. This has probably been the best week of my life. When I first thought about hosting my own book festival, it was just a pipe dream. How could I, a one-woman operation, do it? Well, I did, but I was not alone 🧵
important to note how quickly the British government have jumped at the chance to persecute Kneecap while at the same time—literally in the same week—have continued to block and delay a public inquiry (ordered by High Court judges, who ruled the British government's position as…
