  1. Guys we have the same problems, in England but don't attack the police, they are stuck in the middle of all this, they are Irish citizens as well, they more than likely feel the same as you ,but they have a job to done, they are only doing what they are being told to do. Your enemy is your government.

  2. The Independent is calling it Londonderry ..not… Derry!!! Someone is gonna loose their job at the Independant!!😂😂😂😂

  3. Dear CPS
    Could you please investigate The Independent for sharing misinformation. There is no place called Londonderry

  4. Oh, dear, i wonder why the police are being treated with such disrespect .
    Actually no, i know why and they've brought it upon themselves .

    It started when the police became politicised thugs and turned against the public .

  5. 700 strong arrived today. They will get money, housing, doctors. So don't be racist, let them in, remember diversity is our strength.

  6. Talk about wild animals destroying their own country with riots and violence even though more than 80% of the country is still own by them. They chose Brexit, causing the UK to lose so much international jobs and still blame it on anyone who isn't white British.
