@newscoolfm: 💥WATCH: Replica mosque on top of Moygashel bonfire branded 'disgraceful' as man arrested 🎤Chief Reporter James Gould from Moygashel, County Tyrone. Signs stating "Secure our borders" and "End the threat of radical Islam" have also been placed on the bonfire, which is due to be lit on Friday night. The same bonfire has attracted controversy in previous years. Sinn Féin MLA Colm Gildernew says it is simply an act of hate. UUP leader Jon Burrows says the placing of a symbol of faith on top of a bonfire will be viewed as an attack on that religion, rather than a position on illegal immigration. Secretary of State Hilary Benn called it a cowardly act of intimidation. In a statement on social media, the Moygashel Bonfire Association says it is an act of political protest and opposition to government policy. More on air and online throughout the day.
