The cast changes, slogans change, the target changes but the plot remains the same: organised race hate looking for justification. Sectarianism has always been a deadly shape-shifter-it just wears different masks.Same primeval darkness of unadulterated thuggery.Same instigators

▪️ In 1972 Seamus Heaney drove from his then home in Ashley Avenue, Belfast to Derry on the day of the funerals of those murdered on Bloody Sunday. The late Luke Kelly of the Dubliners (whose anniversary is also today) later asked Heaney to write him a poem about his feelings on that journey that day on… "The Road to Derry" (Recited by Derryman Gerry Doherty) #BloodySunday #Derry

▪️Roger Casement captured today by the British while attempting to land weapons for the #EasterRising #1916. Later the German U-boat 19 that transported Casement to Ireland had its deck gun presented to people of Bangor-as a war trophy. Fuair se bás ar son saoirse na hÉireann.

These two parties have been running the state since its foundation. Pearse Doherty looks on, as one hundred years of #Tweedledum & #Tweedledee plays out to fool us all once again. I think the electorate will be much smarter this time round. #ChangeTheGovernment

▪️For Ireland there were no winners today in 1922 at Béal na Bláth. Ach sure..... "they won't shoot me in my own county," .. said Collins at the time. ▪️After the death of Michael Collins the ‘carnival of reaction’ begins as James Connolly predicted. Two confessional & reactionary jurisdictions came into being and take power on the island of Ireland and thus cement partition. The six counties are abandoned. ▪️Fine Gael has no relationship to Michael Collins who was long dead before that party was founded by former Garda Commissioner Eoin O’Duffy who sought to establish fascism in Ireland. A 1973 film by Welsh actor & filmmaker Kenneth Griffith, about the life and death of Irish Republican leader Michael Collins. #Rebels
