Despite asking for the Irish embassy to provide support, UK ‘terror’ police did not even contact the embassy.

So just disregarding the Belfast Agreement then? UK detaining the peaceful Irish is how you awaken the less peaceful Irish.

By all means, have concerns, but don't throw the past out the window attempting to prove a silly point.

Burnham declared no referendum while he’s in office, another clear violation of the treaties pertaining to the Good Friday Agreement.

Are you talking about the UTV interview? He only said he wasn't going to discuss it at that meeting and expressed a general feeling that he doesn't think it's a good idea. That's not a violation of th GFA at all - not least because the PM isn't the one with the power to call a border poll under it

No2Nato is George Galloway outfit which specifically differentiates itself from other "anti war" groups by not criticising Russia.

I'm not surprised that there was "interest" in some of the people there.

To quote TANA's telegram bio:

We believe Vladimir Putin is the checks and balances in the 🌍

Very neutral very cool
