1. The diversity of the issues raised at @IrelandsFuture public meetings around preparing for unity tells us this is a current and important conversation which people want to engage in, says chair @andreemurphy at latest public meeting in #Sligo #preparingforanewireland
2. Now is the decade of opportunity and our constitutional future is being discussed by all sorts of people in both public and private forums, says @MacManusChris
3. #Unity is about the dynamic that provides a better standard of life for all the citizens says @MacManusChris . It is not the responsible of one or two political parties to outline that vision.

@andrewmarszal Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical #Belfast has long been viewed as a serious #Oscars contender. It depicts the outbreak of violence in his native Northern Ireland in the late 1960s from the perspective of a nine-year-old boy
@andrewmarszal #CODAfilm centers on teen Ruby, the only hearing member of a deaf household in a small US fishing community. The #Oscars contender, which cast deaf actors in lead roles and features copious dialogue in sign language, has been celebrated as a landmark in disability representation

Balfe grew up about 90 minutes from Belfast. She remembers going back and forth between Ireland and Northern Ireland throughout her childhood.

While Kenneth Branagh wrote “Belfast” based loosely on his own upbringing, the director wanted his cast to draw on their own memories.

#Belfast's Monument To The Unknown Woman Worker Thanks to the unknown woman/women(/man/men?) responsible for this act of #peacefulprotest. The dictionary definition of 'woman' is not hate speech. People are trying to force a change in definition without debate. #NoThankYou
#Belfast Show some love for women and LGB youth. The definition of woman is not a hate crime. Around 80% of young people with dysphoria will find it resolves by end of puberty; most of them will grow into healthy gay adults. #NoConversionTherapyViaGenderWoo

Let's kick things off with #Belfast. Word is that Kenneth Branagh, actor in 'Tenet,' is on the upswing and Oscar-bound directing this coming-of-age drama set in 1960s Northern Ireland.

This year’s top pre-TIFF pick in the Star’s annual poll is Cree-Métis filmmaker @danisgoulet's dystopian sci-fi thriller, #NightRaiders, about a mother’s quest to rescue her daughter from fascist overlords. thestar.com/entertainment/…
THREAD: Multiple unverified claims have been made of people finding razor blades under pro-women stickers in #Belfast in the last few days, and were repeated by politicians and trans orgs. Despite multiple claimed sightings, not one photo of razor blades was shared. #razorgate
The @BelTel piece about ‘transphobic’ [sic] stickers did not mention the worrying #razorgate claims. Can @PSNIBelfast / CI Rosie Thompson please comment on whether any razor blades were found, or indeed whether any concerned citizens reported finding razor blades to the police?
@BelTel @PSNIBelfast Risking injury to people by putting razor blades under stickers, before or after they're first put up, would be deplorable. If trans orgs & politicians are making or repeating untrue claims causing distress to vulnerable young people they claim to support, that's vile. #razorgate
We've been sent photos from Northern Irish ribbon action today in support of our brave Scottish sister, @millar_marion! No #hatefulhaberdashery, just solidarity. 💚🤍💜

1. Forse molti l'hanno dimenticato
Ma Belfast ha ancora gli ultimi muri di Europa
Vergogna e dramma di queste enclave misere e maledette
Questo è il “muro della pace” che divide il quartiere unionista Shankill dal cattolico Falls (foto mie)
Ora cancelli chiusi anche di giorno

Que ce soit à #Belfast ou à #Derry des jeunes attaquent les forces de l’ordre, incendient des véhicules, expriment leur rage et leur impuissance. Si ces images sont relativement courantes au nord, deux détails rendent cet événement assez unique. (2/18)
L’étendue de la contestation tout d’abord mais surtout les protagonistes. Cette fois, ce sont des #loyalistes qui attaquent les forces de l’ordre. Pour comprendre pourquoi les « fidèles à la couronne » attaquent ses représentants et ses « protecteurs » (3/18)

More violence broke out in #Belfast, UK as rioters set a bus on fire & attacked police. The ongoing rioting was sparked when the state declined to prosecute Sinn Fein politicians who attended a large funeral of an IRA member in violation of COVID rules.
Earlier this week, rioters hurled dozens of firebombs at police in #Belfast. At one point, a rioter was set on fire. #NorthernIreland
A "peace wall" separating nationalist and unionist neighborhoods in #Belfast was targeted by rioters in ongoing unrest. #NorthernIreland
1. A Twitter story. Nearly 70 years ago a woman from one of the poorest parts of #belfast went into labour. Thinking it was premature labour, around about 30 weeks, her and her husband John were soon to find out that it was no where near 30 weeks.
2. Elizabeth and John Owens were about to become parents to their 6th and 7th children, twins. Born far too soon, as per the episode of @CallTheMidwife1 the midwife had to convince the doctor to allow them to be taken into hospital.
3. The babies, both weighing 1lb were rushed in and given the very best treatment using the most update to knowledge doctor had. The decision to keep giving the babies enough oxygen was that their optic nerves were both damaged.

1. #Belfast #IrishSeaBorder There is no doubt that Brexit & the accompanying Irish Sea Border has destabilised the Union. Whilst the constitutional status of Northern Ireland has not changed, the fact of N.I remaining in the single market of the EU confirms it is”a place apart”.
2. Belfast Steve Aitkin/UUP, Mervyn Gibson/OrangeOrder,Jim Allister/TUV, Jamie Bryson/Unionist Blogger, etc etc, all see the Irish Sea Border & different economic arrangements for NI apart from Britain as a “betrayal”. It comes in a long line of Tory”betrayals”.
3. #Belfast They are correct. The Irish Sea Border & EU single market moves N.Ireland closer to the Republic of Ireland in terms of economic harmonisation.No,it doesn’t change the constitutional status of NI but it is a huge psychological blow to a Unionism.
