Finally - It goes higher than journalists, some of whom are heroically delivering truth - where the state is concealing it.

'Journalists in N. Ireland are facing regular death threats and attacks, with few perpetrators prosecuted, according to a new report by Amnesty International.'

Controlling the level of information or alternative narratives is censorship. N. Ireland is an uncomfortable truth - it has to be laid bare. [11/n]

raids in N. Ireland & this place as a disproportionately immigration enforced buffer zone between the UK and EU should be the headline. The use use of 'pogroms' often overseen by the state as a weapon should be the headline. 1920s, 1935, 1960s, 1970s.. [10/n]

This should be the headlines. Keir Starmer's 'island of strangers' racist rhetoric trickling down to those who want to use far-right ideology to organise, recruit, expand and tighten paramilitary control on communities - should be the headline.
The media drip feed of racist Home Office.. [9/n]

..a PSNI privileging them. The state narrative though is that this is about 'thuggery', as opposed to organised terror. Remember that proscribed paramilitary groups are facilitated by the state who give them high level access meetings, funding and effective 'cover' to continue operations. [8/n]

There are pockets of excellent journalism in the BBC. Spotlight (show is unavailable online now for some reason) links racist intimidation, violence and the expulsions which are the precursor to the pogroms we are seeing televised - with paramilitaries and .. [7/n]

..alarm bells about the state including the PSNI's unwillingness to investigate effectively paramilitary involvement in racist violence. THAT should be headline news right now. The state of Justice right now in Northern Ireland is that - it is a myth. [6/n]

Liam Tunney from the Belfast Telegraph pursued the PPS for convictions statistics for the August riots. This is real journalism, he uncovered what can only be described as at best a dereliction of duty by the state and at worst a whitewash. A month of terror in August 2024 resulted in 43 .. [4/n]

This goes back to the 'troubles' days, where the BBC would uncritically use army statements as news and present it as fact. This had a devastating impact on the conflict here, and blocked truth and accountability. There is a state narrative that at play, that excludes truth like this. [4/n]

Loyalist paramilitaries at the last count had 12,500 members. Belfast Telegraph journalist Alison Morris, despite death threats, is one of the few people reporting on the South East Antrim brigade of the UDA being all over the Ballymena riots. Where is the BBC? [3/n]

..go unscrutinised. The BBC and other lazy or complicit broadcasters are trotting out statements from Keir Starmer, the PSNI Chief Constable and the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland. None of which are addressing the involvement of supposedly decommissioned, proscribed terror groups. [2/n]
