Drowning in Ignorance

Photo of the Day: It's not so easy to get at Catholics anymore these days but there's always migrants. The photo shows a loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, County Tyrone featuring a model migrant boat with life-sized mannequins in life jackets topped with an Irish triclor. The display has been widely condemned as racist and de-humanizing. The PSNI has been urged to investigate the display, which is part of the Twelfth of July loyalist bonfire tradition, one that is annually criticized for air pollution, fire safety and hate-related content.
