In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

From the Phoenix - x.com/ThePhoenixMa...

There was much detail in the Indo about the investigative efforts the paper made in uncovering Gavin’s behaviour. What the newspaper and its editorial staff did not say is that the scoop was handed on a plate to them by Gavin’s tenant who happens to be a fellow colleague in Mediahuis, owner of the Indo and various titles, including the Sunday World. That former tenant is the deputy editor of the World, Niall Donald.

I mentioned this episode while I was editing it to a few people, and it was a reminder that most people generally have no idea how bad the waiting lists actually are in the UK.

It was a fascinating episode to cut together, it's an honour to be a part of this team

The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 2d

(1/2) It's quite a phenomenon that a 79-year-old man struggling with speech and gait, can tell an audience that prices are down when they're up, that tariffs make other countries pay which they don't, that he has solved wars he hasn't, over and over again, and it gets reported as sane utterances.

The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 2d

(2/2) No doubt history will speak to the MAGA cult; how easily they were gaslit; embraced the most flawed cult leader ever; rallied around grievance; railed against their own interest; fell for an obvious con. But the unforeseen disaster - the biggie - is the media's wide normalization of a madman.

It was always "never again" only for them. Otherwise they wouldn't have started raping and pillaging entire Palestinian villages 80 years ago

Netanyahu likely won’t stop until it’s all flattened. It’s appalling & unbelievable that he would have gone this far. I guess the old “never again” is not a thing anymore. 😑

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"

I learned about Sports Thumb Jim Gavin dropping out of the Irish Presidential election from @tupped.bsky.social's The Gist this morning and I owe it to you to share this relevant passage, which got my week off to a great start:

The Long Game
Imagine you are a tenant, in the worst financial crash in living memory, and you discover that over three thousand of your very precious and irreplaceable euros have been sent by your idiot bank to your previous landlord.
And then he won't give them back. Not then, but also, not later either.
He just keeps the money, because that is how Irish private landlords behave. You pay a deposit to a landlord and then they try anything on to refuse to give it back.
Now imagine you spend the next 16 years seething every time that landlord appears on the
TV, being fêted for his sporting triumphs, receiving state appointments and still never giving you your money.
And now, and I invite you to imagine this in full 8k Hi-Def Surround Sound, imagine seeing that guy announce he was running to be President and realising you were going to tell your story and End It.

I’m still thinking about Gavins response to the question on the #womenofhonour -he saw nothing, he knew nothing-and he wants to be President? Can you imagine him responding as our previous presidents have done to issues as national trauma! He’s the see nothing,do nothing candidate #speirgorm #aras25

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.

Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

Have family in Donegal who have barely intermittent power since #stormamy.

Really feels like the price of living in the most beautiful part of the country is to get the worst possible weather and to be generally ignored otherwise most of the time.

Landlord Jim Gavin never refunded 6 months' rent to a former tenant who accidentally kept paying rent after he moved out. The tenancy was not registered with the RTB. Gavin really is the perfect Fianna Fáil candidate.
