We must first acknowledge the girl whose violation sparked the chain of events. We stand in solidarity with her and with her family now and always.
Instead, ostensibly because of the ethnic background of the boys accused of carrying out this attack, the vigil was hijacked by people intent on harm.

One thing you can say about our ancient high kings and chieftans is that they knew how to choose a spot with a view.
Gorgeous evening walk looking to the Sperrins on the left & towards Slemish on the right
A moment for the headline in the last photo-not much change 😉

I'm so grateful to @irishnews.com for letting me get these things off my chest, because while nobody should be threatening elected reps, nor should they be careless with their words about the rest of us.
"What is the redress for demonised minorities, when cruel things are said about them by the most powerful voices in the most influential places, backed by the ability to make legislation that harms them?"

There's a new #UK-EU relationship a-brewin' and I've made a couple of slides to mark the occasion. Nothing fancy.
First a very simple overview of the essence of what was announced y'day, and - crucially - what underpins it.
