Mr Tierney told BBC Radio Foyle on Friday:"We have to let what happened over the last six or seven days settle down and all come back around the table, not only around parading but also around the bonfire issue and see how we can move that forward."The fire service worked to stop the bonfire spreading to a nearby propertyFirefighters were called to the fire at about 23:10 BST.
"Obviously, this is a bonfire close to a property so we had to take action to prevent the fire spreading," he said.Media playback is unsupported on your deviceIn a social media post, PSNI Foyle said the material on the bonfire was"perceived as offensive and distasteful". "We are treating this as a hate incident and will continue to gather evidence as this evening continues," the statement added."As always, we will continue to engage with local representatives throughout the night to ensure the safety of everyone in the city."
There's something about this that's troubling. I accept that the subject is locally sensitive but the broader legal interpretation is a worry. If I write 'I hate my corrupt govt' on a placard and fix it in a public place could I face years of incarceration?
THE POLICE KNOW ALL ABOUT HATING
That's bullshit. FreeSoliderF
The politics of NI (nationalist or unionist) never truly engaged with the peace process, at most, it got lip service. Whenever there's a party political broadcast they promise to defend their side from the other. NI needs politicians who consider the NI nation as a whole.
I have no clue about Irish politics, but flags should never be considered hate crime. It's an expression of peoples beliefs/views.
Hate is a very strong 💪 emotion...it will eat away at you
I’m completely against flag burning but the sheer fucking cheek of unionists complaining and they burning tricolors and effigies of the pope every July. Glass houses and all that.
Bonfire of hate not vanity Still not peace as we know it with a carbon footprint how big?
They 're Irish so where is the problem. The only hateful thing is by the police not understanding what hate is
¿El Odio es un elemento nuevo en derecho penal? Parecen tontos seguidistas. Lo que se inventan los lexografos de la CIA. Is Hate a new element in criminal law? They look like foolish followers. What the CIA lexographs are invented.
Yes, they have learned nothing.
