Corkonians opposing those scapegoating working class immigrants to distract from the greed of the super-rich, landlords and the austerity of FF/FG/GP/LP/II.
Saturday's counter demo, made up of pro-Palestine protesters, workers' unions, CCU & other left groups, ordinary Corkonians, was a huge success. The pathetic fascist contingent was outnumbered more than 10 to 1.
Of no surprise to anyone is the National Party sharing a blog post from member Keith Woods bemoaning that nationalist up north aren't more like loyalists.
As there is greater commonality between the NP and British loyalism than any other political tendency on the island.
Great turn out at the #TogetherAgainstHate rally in Belfast today. Our communities are better united than divided. Don't let fascist scum trillionaires tell you otherwise.
NP's Keith O'Brien has for years worked with Mark Collett. Collett's cheered loyalist murderers Billy Wright and Adair as heroes.
NP attends meetings with British Homeland group of loyalist partitionists (nice poppy 🤮)
The NP name is from Collett's British National Party.
Pro-Pal Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey just platformed far right Nick Griffin on his show. He says it was satire playing the role of a disappointed Zionist but basically they let Griffin spew antisemitism and racism unchallenged. How low they’ve gone.
Ahern saying the quiet part out loud.
Capitalism has always leaned heavily on racism as a means to set the working class competing against each other within the scarcity it imposes on us as a means to accumulate capital's profits.
Let's not alllow Varadkar to divide us. Urban workers share common cause with the rural working class though the fuel protests were organised & led in the main by a group of reactionary businessmen & Independent Ireland who won a victory only for their own sectoral interests.
@Iskesullas Quite a coup for the deeply extractive agribusiness sector to recruit the "blood & soil patriots" to their cause of sterilizing Ireland's ancient ecosystems to grassland, producing meat & dairy mountains largely for foreign consumption as a means make Larry Goodman even richer.
@ConorReddy95 Meanwhile, Cork City Council just voted to name a new bridge after ardent fascist & Ailtirí member, Séamus Murphy. Note that the same right wing cllrs from FF/FG/II also have the neck to show up to Hanukkah celebrations in Cork’s Shalom Park, which they should be banned from.
Many of these same right-wing councillors have shown their faces at Shalom park during Hanukkah festival - they should be banned. Some, or their parties also like to smear left-wing politicians or protesters as anti-Semites for opposing Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.
Cork city council voted to name a bridge after ardent fascist, Séamus Murphy.. 10 FF/FGers, 1 II (racist Noel O'Flynn) & 2 indos (far-right weirdo, Albert Deasy, but also lib historian, Kieran McCarthy). Explainer from a dissenting socialist cllr..

Murphy (a very talented sculptor, yes) didn't just dabble with vaguely far-right politics in his youth. He was a lifelong, committed fascist and member of the pro-Hitler, Ailtirí na hAiséirghe. He even ran for them in local elections in 1945, of all years!
There are many tasks to be done in order to build a civilized & democratic society in Ireland but the first one is easy. Close Shannon airport and Irish airspace to the US military & all the entities participating in the genocide of Palestine and the war on Iran & Lebanon.
Please join the Nkencho family in solidarity this Tue as the Inquest begins into the killing of George. 5yrs on the truth must come out & justice must be served. The standout is important to send a message to the authorities that we want an independent inquiry & no more cover-ups
Anti immigrant bigot Edward White was today convicted of sexually assaulting a child.
He has been previously described as a fine gentleman by this idiot grifter.
Israel was conducting a genocide in full view of the world in May 24 & 25 while Rte insisited on participation in Eurovision.
Rte posturing as pioneers of principle now is absurd. There needs to be public inquiry into the national broadcaster's coverage of the Gaza annihilation.
'New Slovenian law treats entire Romany minority ‘as a security threat’
Parliament approves law giving police powers to raid and surveil homes in what are demarcated as security risk areas'
Fascism on the move.

I am very disappointed to see the National Party put up flags in Dooradoyle this weekend in an attempt to cause division in our community. Honestly do they not have anything better to do! It is so important to me that our community is safe for everyone and it currently is not 🇮🇪 💚🤍
