Max Hastings on the killing of Patrick Rooney (9): "I could not believe that in a city of the UK, a machine-gun was being employed against a block of flats and its occupants, who were displaying no aggressive intent whatsoever.”

@stephennolan hasnt followed up on this. Gavin denied this on his show. Gavin has been on his show a few times since his denial. Why has he not challenged Gavin?

@GRobinsonDUP on The Nolan Show earlier, while shouting down, @GerryCarrollPBP claimed he “stood on the central reservation while talking to police” at a peaceful protest, blocking a road. in Dundonald. Will @StephenNolan issue a correction?

What an absolute numpty; Protestants shaped western society? Religious freedoms like the penal laws? Where is the evidence for this nonsense?
October 31s 1517 the day Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on the Catholic church door sparking the start of the protestant reformation, this is celebrated all over the world and what a date to fall on Halloween 🎃 it's great to see rathcoole take part in this celebration , protestants shaped western civilization and let people have religious freedoms they believe the only way into heaven is through Christ alone , not by good deeds not by paying cash for sins , no one comes to the father except through me ❤️ what a wonderful day to be a protestant 🙏

Mandy one of the few true BBCni journalists ; greysteel seems to have passed the rest by. But thankfully they are on hand to focus on guns and petrol bombs on the GR that weren’t there . Or fixate on the IRA which hasn’t been operational for almost 30 years . Our BBC ? My arse!
31 Oct 1993 - at the end of one of the deadliest weeks in The Troubles - UDA gunmen entered the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel & murdered seven people. Another man died later. A gunman shouted "trick or treat" before opening fire. Families of the victims would help pull NI back from the brink.

The PSNI use 30 cops to investigate a peaceful protest. My kids house was burgled & thousands was stolen. Two cops came out with torches, looked around & that was it. I searched the street & found camera footage of the ones I suspected did it. Cops said not enough evidence. #PSNI

We Happy Lundys can’t take all the credit for @MichealMartinTD announcement about Irish Govt planning for Irish Unity. But I’m sure giving him copies of these books at QUB helped a bit 😉 #happylundys #irishunity @IrelandsFuture @irishborderpoll @ClaireMitchell2 @LuathPress

Burrows finds Sinn Fein getting so many votes 'Uncomfortable'. .. The vast majority of their voters never committed an offence in their lives, just honest Irish people. Unlike the Scum in the Orders & dodgy-as-fuc Ex Ruc collaborators with uvf/lvf terrorists that live here...

Please give a moment’s silence to remember the 8 innocent victims who were murdered in the Greysteel massacre. On October 30 1993, loyalist UDA terrorists entered “Rising Sun Bar” in Co Derry, during a Halloween party, and with the words ‘trick or treat’, opened fire. RIEP 🥀🕊️

Unelected Emma Little-Pengelly is claiming this? From the same party that has 4 out of 5 MPs under investigation? Is she having a Liz Truss moment?

Carla Lockhart's ludicrous Thatcher impression over O'Neill's attendance at an illegal protest is a bit of an insult to those of us (including the entire DUP leadership of the day) who attended (illegal) protests against the same Thatcher and her AIA in the 80s. Idiot 🤯🤯🤯

The utter hypocrisy & duplicitous whining from a man who is currently under police investigation for assault on a woman & a man also expelled from territorial army for stealing munitions said to be linked to Ulster Resistance is quite something! irishnews.com/news/northern-…

Thanks to the Deputy First Minister's father, Loyalists became Northern Irelands biggest killers.
