PSNI officers injured in Belfast Riot Again
The trouble broke out just after 8.30pm, according to a police spokesman. A building containing the constituency office of Justice Minister David Forde was targeted by the rioters and a number of windows were smashed. A car was also set alight in the violence.
An office belonging to another Alliance Party politician, Stewart Dickson in Carrickfergus, was destroyed by arsonists in December. The party’s only MP, Naomi Long, and a number of local councillors have also received death threats.
Last week, Mr Ford said unionist parties 'drove' the flag protests. Mr Ford the Alliance party's annual conference that the DUP and the Ulster Unionist Party had cynically targeted his party and in particular the Alliance MP for East Belfast Naomi Long for crude electoral purposes.
“It seems to suit unionism better to have people worried about flags and identity, protesting at the City Hall, than have them focus on the fact that their children are leaving school without the essential skills they need to make it in today’s world, and lobbying about that at Stormont,” he added.
It emerged last month that the cost of policing the continuing union flag protests has cost more than £15 million (€17.5 million). PSNI chief constable Matt Baggott outlined the financial implications of the disturbances during a briefing to members of his oversight body, the Policing Board.

A primary teacher explains to her class that she is a Rangers fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Rangers fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Rangers fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Rangers fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am a Celtic fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Celtic fan?"
"Because my mum is a Celtic fan, and my dad is a Celtic fan, so I'm a Celtic fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Celtic fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?"
"Then," Mary smiled, "Then I'd be a Rangers fan."

The fat woman thinks: "Hmm, that Hun tried to put the moves on that blonde and got slapped. Good for her."

The Tim thinks: "Boy, I hope we go through another tunnel, so I can smack that Hun fucker again".

McLeish thinks to himself, "Martin O'Neill must have died too" and so he says to God, "I don't mean to be ungrateful, but how come Martin gets that gorgeous mansion for a home and all I get is this rundown shack?" God replied, "That's not Martins home, that's mine!."
Mols: Hey boss! do you remember that jigsaw puzzle I was doing? Well I've finished it and it only took 6 months!
Alex McLeish: 6 months??? What's so good about that?
Mols: Well, it says on the box "3 to 6 years"

The silence from the political and media establishment in the 26 counties is deafening. We were first treated to the initial symapathetic noises from the usual quarters towards the flag protests but since the "protestors" haveshown their true colours these commentators have gone silent.
Unionists / unionism should be no more beyond criticism from southern quarters than republicans when it is justified. A more direct and honest approach over the years may have helped to avoid prolonging the conflict.
The unionsit leadership has once again displayed their complete inability to self-analyse and develop. They still practise the philosophy to be "first to offend and first to take offence".
