Morning, readers. Here's a look at today's front page of the Belfast Telegraph. tinyurl.com/njcmmyud

Can anybody spot the problem with Northern Ireland?

The top of this years Moygashel bonfire. This isn’t culture, this is pure hate.

This is nothing more than unadulterated racism! Weeks after burning immigrants out of their homes in Ballymena. Vile disgusting bigotry.

This is hilarious 😄😄 the more you watch it, the funnier gets 😄😆😄😆

There you go, the crisis of unionism expressing itself in this filth

Belfast City Councillors voted today to remove the controversial bonfire in the Village area of the city and to write to the DAERA minister Andrew Muir to urge him to act immediately to have the asbestos removed from the site. FOR: SDLP, SF, Alliance, Green AGAINST: DUP

You can have your bonfires & put politcal messages on them without putting anything racist or sectarian on it, you can also sing whatever you want at it or take whatever drugs/drink for all I care Once you put effigies of people on it thats want way and beyond. #Moygashel

Moore Holmes has explained that bonfires are not a celebration of Loyalist culture, they ARE Loyalist culture! And that “culture” allows for any old right wing racist additions to the pallet piles, inc boats with effigies of immigrants implying they should be burnt! Some culture!

Many people will celebrate their culture and traditions this week. Unfortunately, we have seen incidents that pose serious risks to life, property, the health of residents and vital public services, alongside openly racist displays that are sickening and deplorable. Political

'We can think of no other scenario where a structure like this beside electrical infrastructure wouldn't be swiftly removed and that's the situation we're in at the minute.' West Belfast MLA Pat Sheehan criticised unionist leaders over a south Belfast bonfire close to a power

Sarah Bunting’s shameful contribution to BBC Evening Extra exposes the dearth of leadership & cowardice defining the DUP’s attitude to dealing effectively with bonfires. There is another bonfire a stone’s throw from this one. Advising adults to take kids to the safe one is a no-brainer.

The loyalist paramilitaries that are on ceasefire? Where are the Ulster Unionist Party TUV & DUP ? 🤔 m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

That’s the same loyalist paramilitaries currently gaslighting people with claims of imminent disbandment & who’ve been indulged by govts, police & politicians for too long courtesy of mtgs with the LCC.

Loyalists are currently threatening violence for the right to ignite a fire that could endanger local kids & local residents through the spread of asbestos whilst also threatening the power supply to hospitals. If ever there was a moment to engage in critical self-reflection….

Loyalism, 2025. Issuing widespread threats because they want to set fire to an illegal bonfire, that contains stolen pallets and it's next to a pile of asbestos. Imbeciles.

Let's stop calling them paramilitaries, but narco criminals, child groomers, human traffickers. They are a cancer on working class PUL areas and in this case potentially want the locals to inhale cancerous asbestos fumes. At what point as a society do we say enough is enough?

Kevin Scott Belfast Telegraph Mob rule. NI is clearly a failed state if the police cannot enforce democracy.

The Union…

The PSNI say they haven’t decided what to do about the asbestos bonfire beside an electricity substation serving two hospitals. My idea: Put a Gaza ceasefire sticker on it and the cops will invade the place. Amirite? Amirite?
