1. Here’s how the PSNI policed my son and his friends in an entirely peaceful Cliftonville crowd at Boucher today. 2. Here’s how the PSNI policed a UVF show of strength in East Belfast. The name and the uniform have changed. What else?

Post-rush-hour you can see the amount of people - schoolkids and workers mostly on their way to public transport - risking their safety by staying on the pavement because it’s too dark to walk on the clear road - as I am here. When cars matter more than people something’s wrong.

I asked for it and I got what I deserved at the Orange Order stand. Sez I, “Can I buy things here if I’m a Catholic?” Sez she, “We sell them to anybody.” Sez I, “Is there a discount for Protestants?” Sez she, “We charge them more.” Laughter. Well played, madam. Well played.

Come to Malta they said. The weather’s great, they said. No way will you get caught up in a thunder and lightning storm, they said.

In 20 years since I pushed my son in a pram this city has become so much more hostile to pedestrians and devoted to traffic it’s incredible. Even the pavements are owned by vehicles. With my granddaughter at Ormeau Park and the green man is lit for 6/7 seconds. ⁦Department for Infrastructure⁩

Here’s my question about free speech for Gazan journalists for The Free Speech Union tonight. I wasn’t allowed to film the answer, which was a bit un-free speechy. If I can précis the answer, it was that it’s complicated and some say some of the journalists weren’t journalists. I know…

In Bangor today for the model railway show at City Church. The town is virtually dead. The bottom half of Main Street heading towards the water is a wasteland. The MP, MLAs and councillors should hang their heads. Absolutely grrrrrrim on a Saturday in the festive season.
