A warning from @DavQuinn about the proposed ‘woke’ revisions to the national curriculum in Ireland. @timcrowley_ @Casey5122dark @ProfDHayes @NigelBiggar @ruth_miesch @clivewright1969 @nialljclarke @TheCountessIE @ColetteColfer

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

Shame economists like @LiamHalligan & @julianHjessop have to keep explaining the lack of evidence Brexit has harmed the UK economy as well as the positive evidence Brexit has if anything, benefited UK trade.

But I am glad they are persevering.

For example, please read this🧵

[Cristo @cristo_radio]

How can @ShabanaMahmood say ‘this is not a case about racism’ when ‘racism’ is the only reason the police were called, was the accusation made by Digwa and family, and was the reason Nowak was handcuffed?

Is it just me or has the home sec spectacularly missed the point?

[Emma Trimble @Emma_A_Webb]

The police were not ‘misled’ as they claim. They CHOSE to believe the murderer over Henry Novak. He can clearly be heard saying he has been stabbed and can’t breathe. These officers need to be held accountable for this. The bodycam footage is unbearably heartbreaking. It should be a watershed moment for Britain. Accusations of racism should not be an incantation that bewitches law enforcement, and gets them to side with murderers.

.@EdwardJDavey You speak of threats to British democracy. Here's one that doesn't feature in your framing. In Bournemouth, a constituency governed by a Liberal Democrat controlled council, three taxpayer funded asylum hotels have produced 116 criminal charges against 51 residents. A young woman, Cleo Lake, was punched unconscious for rejecting a man's advances. A nineteen year old was raped in a portable toilet on the seafront. A Somali asylum seeker told a police officer when I kill someone here, you come for me after avoiding jail three times. Your party opposes every enforcement measure that would empty those hotels. Your biggest election donor in 2024 made his fortune running a company that provided a quarter of all Home Office asylum accommodation before it was stripped of its contract for substandard performance. The threat to British women walking home at night in Bournemouth is considerably more immediate than Elon Musk's posts on X. But it doesn't feature in your framing because it doesn't fit the narrative.

"Cleo Lake was punched unconscious for rejecting a man's advances."

[Miss Jo @therealmissjo]

Finally, a sentence that seems slightly more in line with the crime in the UK.

A 13 year old girl has had her dignity, her childhood and her innocence taken away because Omarie Adams, 34, saw her on the side of the road in broad daylight in her school jumper and grabbed her.

She did not know him.

For two hours, he drove her to multiple locations around Leeds where he raped and abused her over a period of two hours.

On 18 March 2026, he was found guilty of 4 counts of rape, 1 count of assault by penetration and 1 count of sexual assault.

The girl said “I have recurring thoughts that I am useless. This is because I believe the suspect saw me as some cheap tat on the road that he could do whatever he wanted with.”

He was given an extended sentence of 20 years in prison. I very much doubt that he will serve the full sentence - probably out in 12-14 years - but at least he did not get the ridiculously low sentences of 2-6 years we have been seeing recently.

Africans caught on CCTV stealing thousands from an Irish woman — Gardaí too scared to mention race. When will they put Irish victims first? What do you think?

[Susan Hall AM @Councillorsuzie]

So if people come into the country and have more than one wife (illegal here) the welfare state may pay for said wives and all the children. Us taxpayers are being taken for fools!

If you want to live in a country where state-funded council meetings are conducted in Arabic, move elsewhere. The Middle East has plenty of choice.

[Michael Murphy @michaelmurph_y]

Ireland has a shortage of 250,000 homes and its politicians will look you in the eye and tell you mass migration has no effect on housing supply. The Flat Earth society doesn’t have this level of brass neck.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

What message does this send to the girls attacked? I’m just so sick & tired of thinking it’s ok to treat females as if they don’t matter! We fought, & particularly previous generations fought so hard for female rights & protections - we are going backwards, fast! Sadly young women who go along with the cult of ‘sex’ doesn’t matter, have lost the ability to critically think where this leads to.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Another day, another asylum seeker sex crime

These people need to be deported immediately on arrival - then these crimes wouldn’t occur & illegal immigrants would be deterred from coming

But the courts say that would breach the illegal immigrants’ human rights - which is why we need to leave the ECHR

Niamh Uí Bhriain talks to Laoise de Brún about migrant crime: "There's a very tightly controlled narrative around immigration" - but there's a "palpable sense amongst communities in Ireland that we are witnessing new types of crime".
