I have a Northern Irish accent which is mad because I’ve never lived there, I wasn’t born there, I just grew up in a Northern Irish household in Scotland and once upon a time I had a wee Smoggy (NE English) accent which is hilarious to look back at as an adult.
The British State is currently attempting to kill justice for hundreds of families.
The "Legacy Bill" has passed the Commons and is set to face the Lords over the next weeks.
The Legacy Bill proposed to stop ALL investigation into any murders committed by any Republican or Loyalist paramilitary group aswell as by British Soldiers.
Already, as part of the "Good Friday Agreement" thoses convicted would only serve up to 2 years in prison but by cancelling the investigations and guaranteeing that further investigation will NEVER take place, the British states is essentially saying no crimed ever happened.
All political parties in Northern Ireland denounced the bill, but Westminster doent care.
Westminster's goal is clear, they want their solders of the hook, they don't want the family's of those who were killed on Bloody Sunday (1972) or in the Ballymurphy massacre to have justice. They want their soldiers to have any easy retirement collecting their government pensions and never be held accountable for their murder and terror.
The British state doesn't want the Loyalist they armed and colluded with to face justice and bring peace to the largely innocent Catholic civilians who were killed by those sectarian supremacy groups.
The British state doesn't want that, the British state doesn't want justice because the British state doesn't have any idea of justice when it comes to Northern Ireland.
Hearing Wee John say "what the hell is going on in towels?" singlehandedly cured me of decades worth of cringe at hearing the northern irish accent on tv.
Northern Ireland workers protest en masse demanding pay rises
Mass strikes by tens of thousands of public sector workers are expected in Northern Ireland on Thursday.
About 15 unions representing teachers, civil servants, nurses and transport workers are expected to take part in the rallies.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions estimates that 170,000 of the 220,000 unionised public sector workers will walk off the job to demand delayed funds for pay rises.
The mass strike, a “co-ordinated day of action” described by unions as the biggest since Northern Ireland was founded in 1921, could wreak havoc on public services.
