The poorest people in Ireland, have a standard of living 63% higher than the poorest people in the UK. Northern Ireland has to leave the UK, and pursue Irish Unity.

I’m Captain Pedantic at the best of times but isn’t it treacherous rather than traitorous. Is traitorous even a word?

In this context how can any PSNI representations be regarded as credible.

20% Catholics from a 50:50 population. Armed to the teeth cops. Stop & search, arrests and holding on remand disproportionately impacting Catholics & POC. Its Larne barracks - an immigration detention centre and 3 huge loyalist paramilitary racist pogroms in 3 years. Policing reform has failed.

I was a 911 dispatcher for many years. Sometimes I was mom, sometimes I was the pizza delivery, sometimes I was the babysitter. Just don’t hang up and answer what you safely can. Use whatever story you need to. The dispatcher will figure it out and start directing the questions for you.

The British government has a duty to protect the human right to life of its subjects and have everyone equal before the law. The derogation of that duty via this bill hasn’t troubled Labour, Tories, Greens or the public. The apathy towards our humanity is mind blowing & expected. Lesser humans here

What's so amazing about these old Irish Halloween turnip carvings is how accurately they also represent what it feels like to live in the 21st century

A British state cover up of three decades of conflict & their role in it. 'Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said: “For too long, veterans have faced uncertainty over historic investigations, despite serving honourably during the Troubles.' And there we have it - Irish bloodshed has no consequence.

We are all Jane Doe. Behind every name left unknown is a woman with a story that matters. We don’t need to know her name to believe her, stand beside her, or fight for her. We see you. We believe you. We stand with you 💜 #WeAreAllJaneDoe #BelieveSurvivors #VivaHerAlliance #SheShed

Good #TOTP for a change. I remember my 10 year old self watching Debbie Harry, thinking I want to look like that. Sadly, never quite got the raw materials.

tom cruise should make a movie about the women in his life who either have been missing for nearly twenty years or who had to enact elaborate schemes to escape their relationship with him. that would probably bring back Cinema or whatever

One of the best behind the scenes Documentaries on Pop music you’ll ever see. This group of L.A. session musicians were literally the sound of the 60’s & 70’s. They were known in the industry as… THE WRECKING CREW (2015)

Now this did make me cry. Fantastic

One of the chief problems of modern politics is here in microcosm: that the ability of 3 dozen bigots to parade past the homes of people they victimized is treated as equally important as the ability of thousands of normal people to live normal lives. www.rte.ie/news/2026/09...
