  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Four former police officers have taken legal action against the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) for anti-Catholic discrimination. The PSNI is the third-largest police force in the United Kingdom.

The cases come 23 years after the force was established to create a new start for policing after years of controversies related to alleged discrimination.

The PSNI was established in 2001 following the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

One of the officers taking legal action spoke to the Belfast Telegraph on condition of anonymity. “Sean,” who joined the force at the outset and who has now left and is suing his former employer, said: “If I were talking to [a] new recruit, I would have to say, think long and hard about it; long and hard — especially if you’re a Roman Catholic officer, because there’s so much baggage.”
