Hacked …. or I’m #hackedoff

Tim McGarry, car salesman: The uplifting content Northern Ireland needs after a difficult week - or it would be if someone hadn't hacked his account to try to claim Da as NI's most unlikely figure to be flogging crypto...

Sinn Féin’s Willie Clarke is a perfect example of how the party is framing the Belfast attempted beheading.
Instead of addressing immigration policy, vetting or how the attacker got here, the focus is repeatedly shifted to NHS workers and racism.
It’s a manipulative form of framing. By constantly linking immigration to NHS staff, politicians ‘encourage’ people to associate immigration with the nurse who cared for them or the doctor who helped a loved one. The debate stops being about policy, vetting or numbers and becomes about personal feelings of gratitude.
That’s an effective way of changing how people think about an issue without actually addressing the concerns being raised, shifting the debate from facts to emotions to avoid answering any real question……… maith thú 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

For the third consecutive day, Northern Ireland's public transport company Translink is pulling services over fears of further rioting. There'll be no bus services in Belfast after 5.30pm. For all the latest, follow the comprehensive @BelTel live blog:

Belfast, the league table nobody’s torching a bus over:
🔥 West Belfast 1 in 3 children growing up in poverty. Not after one knife attack. Every day, for years.
🔥 NHS waiting lists the worst in the entire UK. Half a million people in the queue. A man waited six years for a new knee.
🔥 45,000 kids’ families docked by the two-child cap while the politicians look the other way.
Now what does Nigel Farage talk about? Not that. Never that.
He talks about the bus stop, the small boat, the bloke who doesn’t look like you. Because while a third of west Belfast’s children go without, Farage has trousered over a million quid in “second jobs” since the last election nearly £1.2m a year from GB News alone, £189k to flog gold bars, fifty grand recording birthday videos on his phone. Highest-earning MP in the Commons. Then he routes it through his own company so he pays corporation tax instead of the income tax the rest of us cough up and still managed to file £380k of it late, 17 times over.
That’s the trick, isn’t it. Point at the poorest man on the street so nobody looks at the richest man on the telly. A hungry child in Ardoyne doesn’t pay his GB News salary. Outrage does.
Real patriots feed the kids in their own constituency. Grifters just sell them someone to blame at two grand an hour.
