Fuck me. someone needs to sit her down and have a read at the history of the troubles. I’m going to be generous and assume she doesn’t know why that could be problematic here. Because if she is aware of the history and she chooses that song then she is a massive arsehole. It may mean different things in South Africa but ‘shoot to kill’ is one of the most controversial things here and it isn’t something that anyone should be doing a song prancing about and taking selfies for. Colm needs to get some balls.
I guess no NI newspaper is going to run a story on it, in case they get called racist?

I don't get it either.

I just checked and based on the census, Northern Ireland is 0.6 percent black. Asian ethnicity is actually higher, 1.6 percent!
'Other white' 5 percent, a lot of which must be Eastern European.

Why isnt there a Asian or Polish themed event at the Park?
Was just what I was going to post next, We’ve had the Keralan community here for yrs and Chinese ,they celebrate their cultural events amongst themselves with an open invitation if other communities want to take part I can’t understand the constant need to force black culture on people 🤷🏼‍♀️ like Grifty wouldn’t march King Billy in my direction I’d march him back again 😂 it’s bizarre how these things are being forced on people.

Looking forward to the rewriting of the history of the titanic.

BTW the folk park is really good. I went a while back with young family and they loved it and I took more in about the history than I did as a kid.
It’s great we’ve taken the boys lots of times, even the old confederate battles and dancing is good 😂

Don’t know? Think it’s for everyone to get a taste of different cultures and music…For context this is the mayors tea dance, it’s music the OAP’s would’ve enjoyed during the Derry dance hall days…How many African/American OAP’s are there in Derry?
I’m sure the OAPs will love to have a dance to Kanye.

Haha I love it. There’s more chance of me showing up on Saturday to that and I have a family thing on ffs! If she goes I’ll eat my hat. But this is the type of thing a local mayor should be doing.
Belfast one not doing much either other than putting up pride flegs everywhere which is ironic as alliance have an issue with any other flegs being put up. Should be all or nothing.

To be fair she seems to do about 2 functions a day. She would give Princess Anne a run for her money for engagements!
It’s actually more like three/ four she’ll burn herself out going at that pace, must never see her family only on the weekends.

I’ve never seen anything about her wardrobe or looks?? The reason the other mayors haven’t received the same vitriol is because they haven’t forced themselves or their beliefs on people even Unionist mayors have been nothing but welcomed she’s got her own ingrained perception of people that she likes to fire up.

Must have been a free dinner reception. This could have been a genuinely bridge building event as in both ww1 and ww2 people in both north and south fought for the allies. It’s galling that no unionist MP or rep showed up but also that this lot obviosuly seem to think it is a selfie opportunity. They all fucking hate us all.
If there was a 3rd ww you can guarantee no child of our current politicians of any view will be put on the front lines.

Btw I never knew there was an Irish national memorial so the one positive is that I would probably go and visit it next time I am down south. But I certainly wouldn’t be taking selfies like an OF cunt outside it like that.
Maybe ELP was invited but declined Irish soil 😂

There was an allegation in the last thread that Mr Barr left his wife for Lillian Seenoi

Claiming asylum while on a holiday in those circumstances is a joke, her backstory just doesn't add up
Yeah that’s the rumour anyway, he was supposed to be having an affair with her in Kenya ( whilst volunteering with a charity on a school build project) then left his wife and kids.

She didn’t write this it’s pure Derry talk

She forgets that as mayor she is still responsible for dogs shit and potholes!
And in NI local government, that's about all she's responsible for!

Btw, I was just scrolling the off topic threads, saw her name and was like "I know her!' I didn't know this thread existed 🤣

Especially political women here, I think it’s because we’re more outspoken and thick skinned.
Yeah, I don’t agree with women getting grief but here it happens. She probably has random twitter trolls saying racist things but the majority of people are just saying ‘catch yerself on’ at the audacity. She actually believes she is a superstar. There are so many women who lived through the troubles who have tried to make things better who have been sidelined.
