Are they Great Britain’s two greatest ambassadors?

I say yes.

As an Irish woman, I never thought I'd reach the point where I feel nervous walking alone, hiking alone, or constantly looking over my shoulder.

I used to consider myself quite liberal. I believed the concerns many people raised about immigration were over exaggerated. Then I was accosted by a man who was in the country illegally while working out in my local gym. It shook me enough that I stopped going and invested in gym equipment for my home instead.

That isn't normal. Women should be able to exercise, walk, and enjoy their communities without feeling unsafe or having to change their lives because they no longer feel protected.

You can disagree with me politically all you want, but you can't tell me my experience didn't happen. Unfortunately, I'll never feel as safe as I did before that day.

The Ireland I grew up in felt safer than the Ireland I see today, and that genuinely saddens me.

I can absolutely believe that people who hate Elon used Grok to create child porn.

[Susanne Delaney @SuzieD755164]

The little girl (then 5, now 8) cannot sleep. She cannot talk. She blinks to communicate. She got to use her voice for all of 3 or 4 years of her life before it was stolen. She cannot articulate a single word of her trauma and therefore heal, at least psychologically. Perhaps he stalks her in her dreams. She is trapped in her own mind. No way to share her worries, memories, dreams or thoughts of any kind. Her tears must be silent too. Her laughter as well. If indeed she laughs any more. She has to be sedated at times.

If all this isn't enough for you to say "enough" then I am afraid you are both inhuman and inhumane. She is just a little child. This was done to her because of the government and because of a grown man's minor grievance. A man who never should have been here. A man who still requires an interpreter after 26 years. A man who was reported to have seemed "cheerful" and "jocular" when it was put to him that what he did was gravely serious. He has shown no remorse. The victims and family are subjected to a trial. Not that the child can ever give testimony. 40 mins deprived of oxygen to the brain will produce that effect. Will silence your voice. Potentially forever.

Why are they so intent on living up to stereotypes?

[Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews]

Migrants are now celebrating the attempted beheading of an innocent Irish man, with one African woman being recorded reenacting the attack by mimicking the stabbing motions in the air before lying on the ground and acting out the aftermath of the attack.

[Dyspeptic Codger @DyspepticCodger]

@ComplaintsRach I wonder if he thinks he won't be killed once his precious cousin fuckers take power.

[Ben Habib @BackBrexitBen]

After the horrific attempted beheading in Belfast, Labour’s answer is to amend the Online Safety Act and force social media platforms to remove content faster during “times of crisis”.

Not fix the border. Not answer the public. Not restore trust. But instead censor the reaction. They do not want answers, they want total control.

[Hazel Appleyard @HazelAppleyard]

Their lives were worth more than a few cars. Or a few wheelie bins. Or a few buses.

When you start to think the protests in Ireland are going too far, remember the fact that these 3 girls were stabbed over 200 times between them.

200 times.

Gay men were beheaded in Ireland by a migrant long before the Belfast attack on Monday.

As gay men, we can't afford suicidal empathy for migrants from cultures where beheading gay men is a fun night out.

[Diego Madera ✝️ 🇺🇲 @Diego_Andariego]

I want you to see you just how much of a prognosticator George Orwell was. He wrote these incredibly prescient quotes in 1948 for 1984 & now we're about to see it fully come to fruition in 2026+

"BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU."

"The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but THERE WAS NO WAY OF SHUTTING IT OFF COMPLETELY."

"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. ANY SOUND THAT WINSTON MADE, above the level of a very low whisper, WOULD BE PICKED UP BY IT; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, HE COULD BE SEEN AS WELL AS HEARD."

"THERE WAS OF COURSE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER YOU WERE BEING WATCHED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. How often, or on what system, THE THOUGHT POLICE plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. IT WAS EVEN CONCEIVABLE THAT THEY WATCHED EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME. ... You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that EVERY SOUND YOU MADE WAS OVERHEARD, AND, except in darkness, EVERY MOVEMENT SCRUTINIZED."

"He thought of the telescreen with its never-sleeping ear. THEY COULD SPY UPON YOU NIGHT AND DAY, but if you kept your head you could still outwit them."

"EVERY CITIZEN, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, COULD BE KEPT FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY UNDER THE EYES OF THE POLICE AND IN THE SOUND OF OFFICIAL PROPAGANDA, WITH ALL OTHER CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION CLOSED." [Now even EVERY unimportant citizen.]

"ASLEEP OR AWAKE, WORKING OR EATING, INDOORS OR OUT OF DOORS, IN THE BATH OR IN BED —NO ESCAPE. NOTHING WAS YOUR OWN EXCEPT THE FEW CUBIC CENTIMETRES INSIDE YOUR SKULL." [Unless silently praying outside an abortion clinic or until a mental scanner is completed.]

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. THE SMALLEST THING COULD GIVE YOU AWAY. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—ANYTHING THAT CARRIED WITH IT THE SUGGESTION OF ABNORMALITY, OF HAVING SOMETHING TO HIDE."

"BY COMPARISON WITH THAT EXISTING TODAY, ALL THE TYRANNIES OF THE PAST WERE HALF-HEARTED AND INEFFICIENT. ... PART OF THE REASON FOR THIS WAS THAT IN THE PAST NO GOVERNMENT HAD THE POWER TO KEEP ITS CITIZENS UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE."
