The scale of public drug abuse in Belfast city centre is horrifying & bad for business. It unnerves shoppers, workers & tourists. A needle bin just conceals the problem. The drug lords who wreck lives need to know theyāre going to jail for a very long time belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnā¦


Refusing to give the media mugshots of guilty people, faulty investigations, appeals for information using absurdly altered photos...The PSNI must be credible but the bad habit of clumsy spectacle-making it has fallen into has reached chronic proportions belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnā¦

Tyrone family McGirrs, wrongly branded ādine & dashersā by an English pub, deserve every penny of their libel win. Their good name was trashed. The landlord faces a hefty bill but it should never have happened. The blameless McGirrs are the real victims belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnā¦

Women murdered, beaten, paid less, trafficked, not allowed to choose what they wearā¦there are more urgent issues to get angry about than beauty contests. Besides itās a mean heart that would knock Carly Wilson being crowned Miss NI after cancer all-clear belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnā¦

NI women were viciously trolled on Tattle Life. Business owners & influencers were left broken by hatemongers. Well done Neil & Donna Sands for exposing the gossip siteās owner. Letās hope the lynch mob now have sleepless nights as net closes in on them belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/columnā¦
