Does Baroness Foster (sheesh) refuse to believe in dinosaurs? Should people like her be politicians let alone be ennobled? NO.

Was the purpose of this interaction to inform or simply to pander to baser instincts. Arlene Foster was never going to say other than what she did - that’s not news or even new! Yet there is nobody to challenge her about proscribed organisation flags yearly displayed in NI Round and round we go

Conditional nonsense. "I'll condemn the action if I disagree with the views behind it, but excuse it if I agree with those views". We need grown-up politics, not this BS.

Surely mention of Northern Ireland should serve to remind people what real terrorism looked like, and there are still symbols for proscribed organisations allowed to be displayed in Northern Ireland.

Terrorism sadly still exists in Northern Ireland,albeit thankfully it’s only a fraction of what it was. There is the sad Irony of Arlene who along with her fellow former politicians in Northern Ireland are openly in cahoots with active Loyalist terrorists in Northern Ireland, + back Israeli genocide

Does throwing paint on commercial equipment meet the threshold for terrorism? And if not the government ought to explain what PA did to meet that threshold because if they dont it looks kind of like authoritarianism

Does causing £7m of damage to military (not commercial) aircraft meet the threshold for terrorism? Plus the aircraft concerned were not connected to the Gaza conflict, negating Polanski’s attempt to justify the attack.

Complete and unadulterated balderdash. They’re all complicit in genocidal war crimes and all should be tried in The Hague. Imagine backing genocidal war criminals and people who are complicit with terrorists in Northern Ireland 🙄

Whatever the rights and wrongs of selling arms (and no, I don't agree with selling to Israel), It doesn't alter the fact that criminal damage costing millions was done.

They’re vandalising things trying to hinder people’s complicity in genocidal war crimes. All RAF army police intelligence politicians etc should be prosecuted for their complicity in genocidal war crimes and Knighthoods issued to Palestine Action, for bravery against these war criminals 👍

Foster certainly knows a bit about terrorism. Her pals were in cahoots with many including those in the police service in the north of Ireland. Anyway she's a crook who thinks the world is a few thousand years old
