Read some of the stuff written by Irish hunger strikers who survived. These people will suffer the impact of this on their bodies for the rest of their lives, if they survive and, at this point, that is getting increasingly unlikely.

But god forbid the huge numbers who “partake” in the recreational use of weed or whatever.

As 2025 draws to a close, one moment stands out. The strike by school secretaries & caretakers showed what happens when long-ignored workers organise. As things stand now, the issue has been referred to the Labour Court with the union warning that further strike action “cannot be ruled out.”

These people have been held for months without trial, the earliest date they may get a trial is in January 2027. Classifying them as terrorists means they have no access to their familes, and they will be held in those conditions for the entirety of 2026.

The word dystopia was first coined by John Stuart Mill to describe the British governments rule in Ireland

Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July.
Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media.
This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now.
