Last night, the return of Blue Lights showed the Loyalists teaming up with Tricolour-waving Rightists from Dublin, to attack an immigration centre in Belfast. What integration. But of course it was made when such alliances really were in full swing. Down in Drumcree, three dozen bowler-hatted octogenarians have set the whole thing back 30 years.
Are those old boys still there, waiting to march? Will Jamie Bryson guarantee the future of such events by joining the Orange Order? It minted and awarded Siege of Drumcree medals last time, so would anyone criminally convicted of participation in the Garvaghy Road protests wear that, too, as a badge of honour, perhaps literally?
And straight into Stormont, might Breandán Mac Cionnaith be the first Éirígí candidate elected to anything and the first to try since 2019, with Bryson as the initially Independent focal point for a wholesale realignment of Unionism? The Drumcree medal was presented to Bryson on 25 August, although he was a small child during the Siege and he is not a member of the Orange Order. Think on.
