New Whitehead cafe attacked in the middle of a pandemic

The new owners of a Co Antrim cafe say they feel sickened after their business was targeted in a hate crime.
Barbara and John-Paul Whearty opened Adren's of Whitehead only a few weeks ago.
The coffee shop on Kings Road was attacked at around 11.05pm on Monday night.
It is reported that three men smashed a window and threw paint over the premises.
The couple say the damage caused has thrown the future of their business into uncertainty.
Detectives investigating the attack have asked anyone with information relating to the crime to contact the PSNI.

Was he the one behind that sectarian Facebook group? It was presented as ironic or parody initially but the mask soon seemed to slip. Becoming a purveyor of incredibly hateful, lazy and provocative material designed to breed discrimination and division in the offline world... Two Incredibly cynical and insalubrious characters. Recently found guilty by a unite tribunal for exploiting staff in their cafes. Withholding pay and giving suppliers the short shrift. Nasty pair.

Not nice and not justified but JP should have watched his mouth previously . Hardly a website to be proud of.
