A loyalist bonfire before being burned, decorated with irish flags, a Palestinian flag, a gay pride flag and covered in racist comments. Placards at the base read: "We're not racist!!! Just dont like niggas :•)" An Irish tricolour flag with text added "# I Ran Away" a reference to the IRA, the irish republican army and the Defence Forces of the Republic of Ireland. An irish tricolour with text added "Keep Antrim Tidy" a reference to "Kill All Taigs" where a Taig is a racial slur for the indigenous gaelic, mostly catholic, irish. "We're not racist Just dont like cotton picking niggas or taigs" An Irish tricolour flag that reads "Sinn Fein, DUP, Sinn Fein" on the green, white and orange portions respectively. Sinn Fein is the name of the irish republican politicsl party which lead the irish war of independance in the 1920s and an active political party in northern ireland. DUP is the Democratic Unionist Party, a loyalist, british nationalist, anti-lgbtqia, anti-abortion, christian nationalist party presumably included here as a reference to them being "white" Higher up identifiable flags include the Palestinian Flag, a gay pride flag, an irish sunburst flag of the Fianna a republican youth organisation from 1910s and generally a symbol of irish republicanism Other flags higher up ate harder to identify and may be a plough and thr stars flag, a symbol of irish socialism

Seeing how uk gov feel about these guys who regularly burn palestinian flags (and gay pride flags and irish flags, sprayed with racist comments) really is a mask-off moment for everyone to see

I put a discription of this loyalist bonfire in the alt-text

‘My son was killed in front of my eyes. Three bullets in his chest’: Patrick Freyne in Chad’s desert camps An unforgiving conflict between rival military factions has killed 150,000 people. Another 12 million people are displaced, many fleeing to a huge desert camp in eastern Chad. Photographs by Chris Mad...

There’s a city of 237,000 refugees on the Chadian/sudanese border in Adre. The Sudan war is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world right now. 150,000 dead and 12 million displaced. Chris Maddaloni and I spent a week in refugee camps in east Chad.

I’d say Mary Lou now regrets instigating the troubles and personally carrying out each atrocity. Seems to be really catching up with her.

Weather warnings have been issued which is concerning for willies and balls. If you see any willies and balls out this evening please take them in for the night. They will make their way home tomorrow as they have great homing instincts.

They need to stop talking over each other because we haven’t had a chance to hear Simon harris’s mutterings since the first half. #RTEUpFront

Clarification- Holly Cairns may go into labour and have a her baby. She is not thinking of joining Labour. #rteupfront
