Pretending Covid was over, then refusing to give folk access to Covid vaccines, then forcing folk into work if they're infected, leading to folk having multiple Covid infections, which impacts longterm health, and increases the risk of Long Covid..

I think everybody who accused Kevin McKenna of writing the same article every week owe him an apology. This is journalism you sit up and notice.

This is incredibly basic but you can in fact oppose murder while also opposing murder.

I don't trust the police to protect synagogues given they literally just shot and killed a Jewish man at a synagogue. But if I did, that would surely be far more important than arresting a bunch of pensioners.
