Dog-lover, socialist, hater of racism and apartheid regimes. Irish.
Won’t let the world’s media in and have been systematically picking off any and all local journalists they can find. What crimes do they want to commit in the dark that they haven’t already?
In a targeted attack on his car, Israel has killed Al-Jazeera's
Hossam Shabat, who was only 23 years old and was one of the last remaining journalists in Gaza.

There are no words.

The Stephen Fry stuff doesn’t surprise me because I’ve always found him to have the ‘I’m alright Jack’ vibe. Or as my dad used to say ‘he’s a touch of the gobshites about him’. Some people gain empathy for other people from their own struggles. Others, like Fry, are just happy that they’re alright.

All the Americans who claim Irish heritage are really showing their true colours since yesterday’s announcement to close the Israeli embassy.

Your bigotry, ignorance and hatred has NO PLACE in Ireland. You do not hold Irish values or morals.

You were never Irish.

As an enjoyer of romcoms (shit and otherwise) and fan of the protracted misery of the STV count, this needs to happen
I'm going to write a Rom Com about a hot shot reporter who's sent to cover the Cavan-Monaghan constituency count and falls in love with the local schoolteacher as she's stuck there for the 3 weeks it takes to get the final result

And they’re donating it to two youth groups on either side of the divide. A good bunch of lads.

Seeing Mary Lou McDonald indisputably outperform Simon Harris and Micheal Martin on the campaign trail, while hearing constantly from media that her leadership is up for debate, makes it clear how much higher the bar is for women in politics.

It’s 🏳️‍⚧️Trans day of remembrance. Never forget that your words matter. People like JKR spouting bile to millions matters because words are the first step towards dehumanisation. And we know what comes after that. Never forget that Trans rights are Human rights.

37 towns have been destroyed in #Lebanon by #Israel in 4 months.

Do I need to tell you how the world would have reacted if a single Israeli town was even close to being destroyed?

Every single day we are reminded that our lives do not matter to the so-called international community.

PSNI are nowhere to be found when racists are torching businesses and putting in windows - victims are asked to chat to their drug-dealing sectarian racist abusers for permission to exist. Students protesting a genocide against those complicit? Out come the battons. Fuck them. #PSNI #QUB

Starmer is a disgusting worm. He's just a complete vacuum of humanity. The entire Labour front bench need punted into the Channel.
PM Starmer is asked what his definition of a genocide is re. Gaza. His response:

"It would be wise to start a question like that by reference to what happened in October of last year, I'm well aware of the definition of genocide"

I think it’s wild that we live in a reality where the idea of a truly good person being elected to the highest office, and working *for* the people is a total fantasy.
