Statement by TUV Court councillor Jolene Bunting:
“I am disgusted that the PSNI have told me in response to my complaint on the matter that they will take “no action” following the disgraceful comments at the Ardoyne Fleadh the weekend before last.
“Not that long ago, flag protestors were brought before the courts for making speeches at City Hall which where mild in comparison with the anti-British and anti-Orange hate speech at Ardoyne. Many people will see this as yet more evidence of double standards from the PSNI. It seems there is one rule for Loyalists but quite another for Republicans.
“I am also surprised by the speed of the PSNI investigation. How did they come to these conclusions so quickly? It is partially odd given that charges against flag protestors like William Frazer and Jamie Bryson were dragged out over months.
“Both the PSNI decision and the speed with which it was reached have further damaged Unionist confidence in the police.”
