Car bomb outside Derry Court House on Bishop Street. Why is Westminster ignoring the effects of Brexit on the Good Friday Agreement?
Sinn Fein has condemned the bombing in Derry. Let's be awake to how volatile this situation is and can become. #PeaceInIreland rte.ie/news/ulster/20…
Belfast Telegraph reporter Leona O'Neill @LeonaONeill1 reporting that the car was hijacked earlier in the day and packed with explosives. #DerryCarBomb
Honestly, I'm no expert, but after having seen the aftermath of two bombings during the Troubles, I'm going to guess this wasn't an exhaust issue. #DerryCarBomb photo of an exploded and burnt out car in Derry
And for the record, I'd like to say that I have been highlighting the growing likelihood of violence in the North since at least March last year. #DerryCarBomb
Recruitment posters for a number of dissident Republican groups have been appearing in Dublin over the past few months. This was on the cards and no one was reporting it. #DerryCarBomb

There's a sense the significance of the conflict in Northern Ireland & the importance of protecting the peace has been lost in #Brexit drama.

So the #BrexitBorderlands project set out to chronicle the Troubles in a new way - interactive data visualisaiton.

Thread on data here:
This is every death over 30 years of The Troubles visualised.

The tool is weepeople.css by @ProPublica and the data is from Post-Mortem, a database of deaths by Michael McKeown, hosted by @UlsterCAIN.

Read 'The Irish Times - Keeping The Peace' here:

irishtimes.com/news/world/bre…
Deaths are listed chronologically with a shadow to represent every single person who died in 30 years of the Troubles

Click on a figure to find out the individual's name and how, where and when they died.

Theresa Villiers should not be allowed on TV to discuss Brexit after saying:

"There is no reason why we have to change our border arrangements in the event of a Brexit, because they've been broadly consistent in the 100 years since the creation of Ireland as a separate state."
Today on #Ridge, Theresa Villiers argued in favour of leaving with No Deal and trading on WTO terms, even though the WTO has already confirmed (on #Marr) that that would break the Good Friday Agreement.
Can more people start calling out Theresa Villiers please?
She was the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. She can't be allowed to keep saying absolute rubbish on the topic! #Ridge

As we approach the 1st anniversary of our first event, the Final Say For All Foundation would like to share with you what we have achieved during the past year in our efforts to obtain a vote on the Brexit deal with a #FinalSayForAll. /1
It all began in Brussels on 11 Dec 2017, the coldest day of the year, where we held an anti-Brexit protest to mirror one in London on the same day. During the 7hr rally, we held open mic sessions for people to have their say about Brexit. And thus, #BrexitIsPersonal was born. /2
This first event was entirely seĺf-funded with the help of many volunteers, which has become an established mode. The Foundation itself was set up in January 2018 so that we could raise money to continue our work. We also had to write a mission statement that we all adhere to. /3

Northern Ireland's pro-remain parties are meeting @theSNP @LibDems & @Plaid_Cymru in London today. They will meet Labour leader @jeremycorbyn this afternoon.

DUP deputy leader @NigelDoddsDUP: “Sinn Fein will turn up today at Westminster, do a couple of meetings, talk in front of the cameras and then disappear until they repeat the exercise in another couple of weeks. It’s a con job and a classic example of stunt politics."
.@NigelDoddsDUP : If Sinn Fein MPs were truly passionate about #Brexit, they would take their seats in the House of Commons and actually use their votes to influence the outcome. Over 40% of the divisions on EU Withdrawal Bill had a majority of less than 20.

Brand-new and remarkable: #today, in a speech before #industry-representatives, chancellor Angela #Merkel used an old-fashioned, and,I think, INAPPROPRIATE,mathematical term to describe the #Brexit discussions..
.. in the #UK.

On 20180925, 9:50 CET, (cf. bdi.eu/der-bdi/termin…), chancellor Merkel said the following: "Wesentlich hängt es natürlich auch davon ab, was Großbritannien denn wirklich möchte. Auch da ist ja die Diskussion nicht so ganz eineindeutig [sic],
und, das muss ich..
.. allerdings sagen: Man kann nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehören, wenn man in EINEM Teil nur zum Binnenmarkt gehören will, aber in drei ANDEREN Teilen nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehört, und da müssen wir verschiedene, äh, vernünftige Wege [ rest drowned out by applause ]."
