"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them.
While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those complicit in a genocide walk the streets untouched. Since October 2023, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza – entire families erased, journalists targeted, children bombed in their beds.
More than 300 officials at the Foreign Office raised their concerns about Israel’s “stark … disregard for international law”. And yet, the UK government continues to greenlight arms deals and offer diplomatic cover. That’s not a performance. That’s a conscious policy decision. Made in Westminster, paid for by the taxpayer, and buried beneath silence.
They’ve tried this before. Give Ireland Back to the Irish – banned. Christy Moore – detained. The Pogues’ Streets of Sorrow – silenced for decades. And now, it seems to be Mo Chara – for turning protest into poetry, politics into art.
So here’s the question – the same one Pete Seeger asked, the same one Mo Chara asks now: Which side are you on?

@TB41284999@LFC20205@Darmolloy_ You donkey, how can you drink at home if you can’t even make it there with unopened drinks in your bag without them being poured out and littered on the ground
If I were Taoiseach, if @sinnfeinireland were in Govt, the records from Mother and Baby homes would NOT be sealed. No Govt worthy of the name could stand over the disrespect and cruelty shown to survivors. #UnsealTheArchive

Fake 'debates' in the media between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil 🙄 parties who were in govt together for l past four years, who have created and prolonged crises in housing, health and who have kept workers and families under huge financial pressure. @morningireland
