The DUP thread

[naka]

Feile did the right thing. This is a hate group no doubt with links to Christian right in US. It is difficult enough for trans community, particularly young trans people, without platforming people like this in a festival celebrating culture. Of course the usual bigots in DUP/TUV/UUP will pile on along with the bible bashers and craw-thumpers. If they want a stage to spread hate, let them feck off to an Orange Hall.

would disagree with the decision
give them enough rope to hang themselves.
debate should be encouraged not censored
reality whilst we should support trans rights etc we also need to address  fears which have been proferred

Féile an Phobail has done unreal work in west Belfast this past 25 years.


As they started out via debate and discussions, they shouldn't be narrowing it down now.

True but FanP didn't start out like that. Imagine that attitude starting off - it would never have took off the ground.

I'd say you're delighted

[Rossfan]

You'd say wrong then.

[tiempo]

Obtaining and winning a border poll is akin to playing against 16 men, it'll need to be a surefire 60:40 win before the thing is called at which point it becomes a formality, could be another 25 years yet as Westminster who would love to de-couple aren't remotely competent

I'd say the 10% going to Greens, Aontu and PBP is primarily a nationalist vote so that's 45% not going to Unionist/Alliance.
