Carla Lockhart of the DUP has been pictured standing with a group of men in Scarva, with scarves over their faces. They’re objecting to the pro-Palestinian rally that was taking place in the area. Were the masked men right to cover their no-doubt-flawless features? Was Carla right to identify with them?
Do you know any significant events that happened on this date (8 June)? We mention three – see if you think they’re worth remembering.
Should the Ireland team play Israel in the coming months? Micheál Martin appears to be dithering and keen to pass the parcel/hot potato to someone, anyone else. Is that called leadership>
Finally, a recent poll shows no growth among those who support the idea of a reunited Ireland. Is the idea withering on the vine? And how should Sinn Féin respond?
These and other lovely matters to chew on. Tell us what you think – we read all messages…
The DUP originated from militant loyalism, masked men are in their DNA. Same with the UUP, German guns in Larne anyone? Carla and her ilk have always rubbed shoulders with the more, how can I put it, intense brethren. Twas ever thus.
