I'm 1/2 of monthly art night Belfast Comic Jam (with @oxeyedkathryn.bsky.social) & I currently run micropress outfit Local Colour Comics, putting out comics by myself & others

The NI Justice Minister was questioned on the deployment of PSNI to London at the weekend. The glib response, lack of accountability and absence of strategy should sound alarm bells. We've included some of the Stormont transcript responses.

Be very clear that this was about not only creating fear on English soil, but about 'blooding' officers from N. Ireland to commit mass arrest on Irish soil.

A lot of people grieve the years they lost to the first years of the pandemic, a time you had your entire life put on hold. Just imagine what it's like for Palestinians watching the calendar approaching 2 years of their people getting massacred daily. Imagine how absurdly long these 2 years feel.

I am wearing a t-shirt that has Mickey and Minnie mouse doing lines on it and two separate people in two separate shops have asked if I work here. Startling indictment of my general vibe I guess.

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth
Daily Mirror front page shows grainy image of horde of children in a cemetery, and the headline “Amazing scene as hundreds of children rush cemetery”
