Did we actually expect this megalomaniac to agree to a peace deal? #Ukraine shouldn't concede a single inch to tyranny. Putin is pushing his luck. Trump hasn't the intellu to deal with him effectively.

Ahem. Can we stop pretending the "ceasefire" in Gaza is something meaningful.

If there is no "cease" to the "fire" it's not a ceasefire.

The photo shows a room with an arched window. An open book lies on a seat in front of the window. On the side table is a teapot and cups. A tall vase of white flowers sits on the floor and there's a lamp and framed photo in a sideboard to the right.

Wow the IT actually printed my letter

#speirghorm
A chara, - In January 1989, the British Minister Douglas Hogg stated that some solicitors were “unduly sympathetic to the cause of the IRA”. Three weeks later Pat Finucane was murdered by loyalists. It is widely accepted in Ireland that there was a consequential link between these two events. Will there be a similar recognition of the responsibility political leaders bear for inciting violence in the wake of the horrific arson attack on a centre for international protection applicants in Drogheda on Hallowen night, only days after the Tánaiste described migration numbers as “too high”? - Is mise Wendy Lyon

Bad enough the Gardaí gave free run to the far right for years.

Bad enough arson against immigrant centres became standard practice for racists.

Bad enough we've already had race riots.

The Taoiseach & Táinaiste poured petrol on all the above during the week, & we shouldn't be shy in saying it.

It’s a miracle nobody was killed. Irish “patriots” attempt to murder women and children at an IPAS centre in Drogheda. FG and FF politicians contributing to anti-immigrant rhetoric need to cop the fuck on.
