Thread🧵 Loyalist/Unionist bonfires expressing sectarian hatred of Irish culture. These are yearly repeated hate crimes!

1. Glenfield Carrickfergus. Hanging effigies of Naomi Long, Michelle O'Neill and Mary Lou McDonald. Palestine flag, Irish flag, Alliance poster.

Full of Irish flags, sinn Fein election posters, effigy of a celtic fan. The "kids" bonfire is also complete with Irish flag and encouraging a young child to light the sectarian bonfire...

5. Eastvale Dungannon. Burning gaelic football flags and again Irish flags.
