🧵 We have the tail-end of a couple of Gulf hurricanes heading towards us in Ireland. I like when there are dark skies & colours are more pronounced. I see colours as energy & that’s why I love using them powerfully in my one-off ink drawings. You can see them if you scroll down in this thread! [1]

In some ways the election reminds me of a time when Bertie Ahern sneered at an opposition member who went to prison on principle [not paying water charges I think]. Bertie said ‘sure we could all go’ on such positions. But the thing was, it was Bertie who ended up in tribunals regarding money…

…she responds in a barrister way. She takes her time answering & then does so in a legal way. Then journos jump in & make assumptions.

Personally I’m not happy with her nominating O’Doherty, but I’m more unhappy with Humphreys’ anti-LGBTQ position to get votes from the far right nutters.

…believe Boris Johnson on the Russian spies, when they didn’t believe him on Brexit. She’s an old school socialist [you can tell from her use of Eisenhower’s Military Industrial Complex warnings. She’s also condemned Putin & his invasion of Ukraine. I think sometime, in the interviews…

The Daily Mail is, as per usual, the case of a headline & opening paragraphs making one claim, which the quotes, they use, do not substantiate. Essentially Connolly blames NATO as much as Russia for the arms buildup in Europe. She questions in a debate why the govt…

So I’ve read my way through a good few Connolly interviews & media analysis regarding Russia & Putin. So far I haven’t come across anything where she says positive things about Vlad the Homophobe & war criminal. I did come across an ‘Irish’ Daily Mail article*

There was a bit of a shindig for Connolly in the Button Factory. It’s interesting that it’s artists, musicians & poets like @marycoughlan.bsky.social that are behind her.

I’ve been told several times, by people online, that Connolly supports Putin. It’s such a ludicrous suggestion I ignored it. But now I’ll see what I can ferret out.

Humphreys is the one, currently, using Putin’s lies about LGBTQ ppl.

Right wing FG candidate for Irish President, Heather Humphreys, being called out for her anti-trans nastiness by noted feminist & women’s equality campaigner Ruth Coppinger TD. Whatever your views on human rights, you can’t claim that Humphreys would be a president who was inclusive.

Imagine how shocked the FG national newspapers will be to learn that Michael D, the incumbent, visited many such countries in his political years!

Yesterday they tried to associate her clients, as a barrister, with her. Apparently unaware that barristers often represent ppl they don’t agree with.

Dr Robert Bohan @robertbohan.bsky.social · 1d

With just over 2 weeks to Irish presidential election, & the rightwing FG candidate trailing, the FG papers are desperate to smear Catherine Connolly, who leads. This time they’re still on about her trip to Syria to visit refugee camps as part of her job. Will the FG retiree’s expenses be examined?

It was as if they thought that rehabilitation doesn’t matter. I think it’s because in the normal politico-media world they judge others by their own failings.
