This is terrible stuff and the article notes
“It is a crime under Northern Ireland law to distribute materials that are intended or likely to stir up racial or religious hatred or arouse fear.”
But has this ever applied to the Irish flags or Sinn Fein posters fixed to these bonfires in previous years?

JFC that’s a real mask-off moment I wasn’t expecting for another decade. All the flags, slogans and effigies over the years were totally fine but as soon as it’s a mosque it’s a problem.

What ever happened when there was an effigy of the pope?

There have been previous arrests in relation to different things put on the bonfire.
It must be illegal though, neither Ireland and particularly not Sinn Fein come under any category

This is what happens if you don’t take action for years.
There has been as bad, if not worse burned previously so why are the PSNI only taking action now?

It’s awful that these scumbags are burning effigies of mosques and I fully support the arrest. But these bastards have been proudly displaying banners calling to „Kill All Taigs“ (KAT) for decades at this stage and it’s just accepted.

Tricolour is grand to burn though.

Glad they’re at least getting done for *something.* I hope the anti-hate stuff gets applied more broadly going forward.

I have a strange appreciation for the knucklehead craftsmanship that goes into these things. Lads that will never work a legitimate day in their life’s but will build a towering inferno with decorations on top for racism.

😂😂😂 wow so there is a line to what they can burn

Ah, lovely. They’re getting more diverse with their bigotry.
Hating those who were here before them, AND hating those arriving after them. The Goldilocks of Bigotry.

No issue with burning effigy’s of SF politicians and the pope though?

Can burn catholic stuff for years but only arrests made for the muslims?

Why is this fucking bonfire still allowed to take place every year. It’s an utter joke at this stage

I wonder what the arabic script on the mosque says.
I’m guessing some badly google translated threat.

Not a crime if it involves Irish/Catholic material.
PSNI are a fucking joke.

? They don’t give a fuck when it’s Irish/Catholic icons they burn

They’ve stopped going after Catholics because they’ll just fight back. Muslims and immigrants are easy meat.

What horrible people. Ban these stupid bonfires it’s actually so embarrassing they are allowed to do this. I’d say the smoke is also terrible for anyone unfortunate to live near these sites.
