Why isn’t the mainstream media showing the full reality of what is happening on the Garvaghy Road?
The public deserves the full picture — not selective coverage. If one side is subjected to intense scrutiny, controversial conduct on the other side should face the same journalistic examination.
Why no media attention on terrorist glorification on Garvaghy Road?
Last night there was a concert on the side of the Garvaghy Road, the playlist of which has been studiously avoided by members of the media who have been on the road for a week now.
If terrorist songs were being sung on Drumcree Hill, I’ve no doubt that the great and the good would be tripping over themselves to condemn what happened.
But a performance of ‘My Old Man’s a Provo’ on the Garvaghy Road? Not a cheep from nationalism, the Alliance Party or the BBC.
The lyrics of the song include:
My dad has got me worried, I think he’s goin’ soft
There’s half a ton of fertiliser, stowed up in our loft
“Are you gonna be a farmer, dad?” I asked him just for fun
He said “Don’t be an eejit, pass the coffee grinder son!”
Why is it that laughing about the production of bombs and insulting victims passes without comment, in spite of the BBC and the Belfast Telegraph reporting on the acts which performed last night?
There is an obvious question for those who object to Orange culture on the Garvaghy Road: how can they oppose the presence of Orangemen while tolerating songs celebrating bomb-making?
And why is the media so keen to turn a blind eye
On the Garvaghy Road, a “Kneecap” concert with chants of “Ooh Aah, Up the ’Ra”.
Elsewhere in the town, Orangemen are gathered for a prayer meeting convened by their chaplains.
The contrast could hardly be more stark. While others glorify the IRA and revel in sectarianism, Orangemen are responding with prayer, dignity and restraint.
That speaks volumes!!!
Anti-semitism rife in UK
An important read on the prevalence of antisemitism in the United Kingdom and the need to confront it wherever it appears.
Antisemitism has no place in our society. It must be challenged consistently, whether it is expressed through abuse, intimidation, discrimination or the spread of conspiracy theories.
