I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

If Red C or any of those other polling companies happened to ring my number and ask what I thought was the most serious issue facing Ireland at the moment, my reply would be: disinformation. It underlies everything.

Being nominated or not doesn't seem to have had any bearing on how much I'm hearing about Maria Steen.

the thing that’s particularly cool about this is that he just very easily makes morgan’s takes look *weird*, by dint of honestly and simply speaking from the standpoint that trans people are ordinary human beings with the same rights to respect and dignity as anyone else

RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.

So, over a decade ago, one of the papers, identified the bank account connected to his blog as being in Offaly under Tim O'Keeffe. At the time, it was brushed off as "his friend" by an alleged friend. But he has used the name "Tadgh O'Caoimh" in the years that followed.

Anyway, the above is backed up by open source investigation tools, and it's baffling that more people aren't actively working to hold him accountable.

Has an account under the name registered w/ all kinds of stuff including banking services. He has used the username "Ballaghnoher" a small misspeling of Ballaghanoher, a tiny place in Offaly.
