Footage of Drumcree riots (1995) when Catholics acted in defence of their area from Orange Marches.

James Larkin (One of founders of Irish Labour Party) was in Glasgow where he was known for a protesting the importation of migratory labour into Glasgow to compete with Scottish factory workers to erode their wages and he famously dressed in pig tails to mock the Chinese laborers who would work for so much less as a way to advocate for the Scottish laborers who were being displaced in the workforce.

That displacement so enraged his conscience that he defined his advocacy on behalf of the workers his leftist position, which was the central life really of Irish liberal leftist thought (he's advocacy for the workers during the lockout for example) and was based on understanding the ownership of Ireland by the labouring classes and also demanding a recalibration of labour rights in Ireland based on that understanding, which also included the understanding that migration can be colonization.

No clue what's going on here but the video shows an African jumping into the Liffey off O'Connell Bridge.

The tide is out so the water only goes up to his waist. Prior to this a woman in a white t-shirt is chasing him around. You can see her shouting at him just before he goes over.

His legs look a bit bandy but it could just be his normal gait.

Local Nationalists gathering on Springfield road following threats from loyalists

Riot squad entering a Nationalist neighbourhood this evening, Springfield Road.

Dog units and water cannons have been deployed to predominantly Nationalist communities. Crown Forces love going harder on Nationalists.

Last night the PSNI just stood back and let loyalists attack the Springfield road. Tonight they have attack dogs, water cannons & riot police charging at Nationalist youths. Why are they treating the Nationalist community so differently?

Unionists attempting at failed disinfo propaganda lmfao

wtf is this shit? lol

NOOOOOOO DONT HURT THE POOR DOGGERINOOO NOOO!!!!

Absolutely unbelievable, first the NIO, then DUP and now NI Secretary Brandon Lewis tells that the PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne has spoken to David Campbell, chair of the Loyalist Communities Council - a group representing Loyalist Paramilitaries currently involved in rioting, intimidation, extortion, fraud, drug dealing, pimping, racketeering & murder.

Then, tonight his force deployed water cannon + dogs on Nationalists, after standing idly by for 6 nights while loyalists wrecked the place. Just overnight after meeting they decided to switch policing tactics once it was Nationalists on the other end.

Not surprising though.
