As usual, for water issues - the stock photograph of a middle class person staring at a piece of paper, in front of a laptop.

No photo of a shareholder gloating over their latest dividend. Or of sewage pouring into a river. Or blue-green algae poisoning Windermere... 🤮

Xerico is owned by a Luembourg fund that is a major owner of rental properties in Ireland. But try finding the owners, the shareholders! I wish you luck with that.

“That information is ironclad,” insisted Mark Regev, a former senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during an interview the same day on CNN. “It’s based on Israeli intelligence.”
Read this very interesting article for new insights on Israeli propaganda. Fool me once, shame on you…

The problem with this discussion is it's not really up for discussion.

The 3 main UK parties are now english nationalist parties are Pro Brexit with ECHR concerns. Labour has "legitimate concerns" while Tories & Reform want to exit the ECHR.

TL;DR: The english don't want NI anymore.

*Falklands would have voted remain too in 2016.

Not many people know this but the Falkland Islands Government sent a serious memo warning about the damage brexit would cause to the Islands.

They were denied a brexit vote. 👇

As a reminder: before the brexit vote in 2016, the Falkland Islands Gov (FIG) sent a long detailed memo warning how disastrous brexit would be for them.

Despite the close economic ties and the Treaty of Rome offering some protection, Falklanders didn't get a vote.

NI unionism is in decline and a new "unaligned" voter is overtaking them.

They don't care about flags.

It will be them, not orange voters, who will decide the NI border poll and a vote for reunification NOW is as much a vote to re-join the EU as it is to leave the UK.

mock Ireland border or reunification ballot paper with 2 choices: 
1. Yes I want to live in a modern progressive democracy & stay in the EU with Ireland. 
2. No. I'm happy with unstable stormont, petty squabbles, toxic politics & economic mire outside the EU with brexit GB.

Today, a ceasefire and an end to the genocide were declared in Gaza. We have lived through the worst days of our lives. We were bombed, starved, and lost our relatives and everything we owned. We have nothing left but our lives

Please give hope life🤲⬇️

They're back!

Tonight, the Republic welcomes those who defied the humanitarian blockade of Gaza.

They were illegally imprisoned, they were beaten and spat upon, but we won't stop until the blockade ends.

Even Macron won't take our eyes off Gaza.

Ils sont de retour !

Ce soir, République accueille ceux qui ont bravé le blocus humanitaire de Gaza.

Ils ont été illégalement emprisonnés, ils ont reçu des coups & des crachats, mais nous ne nous arrêterons qu’à la fin du blocus.

Même Macron ne détournera pas nos yeux de Gaza.

There was a video going around about a year ago of a kid who had hooked up electricity for people displaced in Gaza, using scraps he’d scrounged.

What could that kid do with a real chance and a peaceful life?

How many brilliant minds have been annihilated over the last two years?

A devastating toll affecting medical workers, journalists, and civil defense teams continues to mount in Gaza amid relentless Israeli attacks. The human cost is chilling: 232 people are injured daily, with 13 amputations and 6 cases of paralysis or blindness every two days.

It reports figures from the Government Media Office. The background shows a grey, smoke-filled skyline of Gaza City with damaged buildings and rising plumes of smoke.

Text on the graphic:
	•	Killed:
	•	2 medics (in 1 day)
	•	1 civil defense worker (in 5 days)
	•	1 journalist (in 3 days)
	•	Injured:
	•	232 people (in 1 day)
