This is a fairly common rant by far-right types - contending it's not safe for women in Ireland due to immigration.
I'll go through it and offer some counterpoints.
Not least it's objectively safer for women today than it was at any other point in Irish history. /1
Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
This is what elite, world-class investigative journalism looks like:
Carole Cadwalladr and her team at The Nerve have forensically stripped the mask off the British political establishment.
The pattern they found in The Harborne Receipts is nothing short of terrifying. Millions of pounds flow from a crypto-billionaire into the pockets of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and like clockwork, weeks later, those exact politicians start pushing laws to benefit the crypto industry.
It is the exact same playbook Donald Trump used in America. It is cash-for-policy, clear as day.
While the billionaire-owned press tries to distract us with culture wars and theatre, true journalists follow the money.
This is the toxic soil that is destroying our democracy from within.
Absolute honour to see her back in action!
🚨BREAKING🚨
Keir Starmer once reclined his seat on a short-haul flight.
In other news Nigel Farage has received a £5m gift, a house, helicopter flights, a Maldives trip and been accused of throwing an election for £1m.
Here's Sam Coates with more on the reclined seat scandal.
SHE REPORTED 1,400 CHILDREN BEING RAPED. THEY INVESTIGATED HER.
Jayne Senior @Jes123tia456 spent 14 years as manager of Risky Business, a Rotherham Council project for vulnerable young women. For 14 years she handed evidence of systematic child sexual exploitation to police and social services. Names. Dates. Patterns. A 42-page intelligence report. She built the jigsaw piece by piece.
They shut down her programme. They told her the records were rubbish. They told her she was rocking the multicultural boat. They told her the children were consenting. Children. Ten years old.
She risked prosecution to become the source for Times journalist Andrew Norfolk, whose 2012 investigations finally broke the story open to the nation.
The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed what she had been screaming into the void since the late 1990s: at least 1,400 children had been abused in Rotherham.
Jayne got an MBE in 2016. The council got reputational damage it spent years managing. The officers got their pensions.
When she filed complaints with the IOPC about senior police officers who had done nothing, the watchdog warned her that if she kept going, she would be labelled a vexatious complainant and could face imprisonment.
She kept going.
Her complaint was eventually upheld in 2021. The report naming the officers was never published.
South Yorkshire Police @SYPTweet rejected the watchdog's findings. No officers were named. No further action was taken. Someone did warn her the officers might sue her personally if she spoke about it publicly.
She spoke about it publicly.
This is what accountability looks like in Britain. A youth worker risks prison to protect children. The institutions that failed those children close ranks, bury the reports, and threaten the one person who kept records.
The children were the problem, apparently. Not the men. Not the police. Not the council. The woman with the filing cabinet.

RT cultivated UKIP from at least 2011. First Gerard Batten. And then Farage. He was paid £2k an appearance, I was told.
And as @benimmo explained in our 2018 @ObserverUK investigation. The Kremlin was always explicit. RT was as essential as the Ministry of Defence

Bank of America just agreed to pay $72.5 million for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls.
The settlement dropped late Friday night. Buried under war headlines and protest coverage. Almost like they planned it that way.
And this is literally the FOURTH major bank settlement tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
JPMorgan paid $290 million to victims. Then another $75 million to the US Virgin Islands. Deutsche Bank paid $75 million to victims and got hit with a $150 million regulatory fine on top of that. Now Bank of America adds $72.5 million.
Total exposed so far: Over $660 million.
Number of bankers criminally charged: ZERO.
Number of bankers who went to prison: ZERO.
Every single settlement came with "no admission of wrongdoing." Every bank said some version of "we regret the association" and moved on.
But the court filings tell a very different story:
JPMorgan filed suspicious activity reports on Epstein's accounts as early as 2002. Their own compliance team flagged him. They KNEW something was wrong but they kept banking him for 11 more years anyway.
When Epstein was alive and actively trafficking girls, JPMorgan flagged $4.3 million in suspicious transactions.
After he died in his cell? They retroactively reported $1.3 BILLION in suspicious activity going back to 2003. That's 300 times more than what they reported while he was alive.
A Senate investigation found that JPMorgan executives overruled their own compliance officers to keep Epstein as a client. Internal emails show top executives approved continued business with Epstein even AFTER his 2008 conviction because he was bringing in ultra-wealthy referrals.
Deutsche Bank picked Epstein up as a client in 2013, the same year JPMorgan finally dropped him. Their own CEO later admitted onboarding him was "a critical mistake that should never have happened." They literally kept him for five more years.
Bank of America allegedly didn't file suspicious activity reports on Epstein-linked accounts until AFTER he was dead.
The pattern is identical every time:
See the red flags. Ignore them. Profit from the relationship. Wait until the client dies or gets arrested. Then file a report. Then write a settlement check. Then say you did nothing wrong.
Now think about this...
These are the same banks that freeze your business account over a $5,000 wire transfer. The same compliance departments that require endless forms of ID to open a checking account. The same institutions that flag small business owners for "suspicious activity" if they deposit cash from their own customers two weeks in a row.
But a convicted sex offender runs hundreds of millions through their systems for DECADES and nobody notices. Nobody reports it. Nobody escalates it. Nobody calls law enforcement.
Until he's dead. Then suddenly everyone remembers everything.
Senator Wyden called for a criminal investigation. The Treasury Department has thousands of pages of Epstein bank records they still won't release. Congressional investigators say the full picture of what these banks knew hasn't come close to being revealed.
$660 million in settlements and fines. But not a single criminal charge against any banker at any institution.
That's the system working exactly as designed.
I wonder why no one's talking about the files anymore?
Cuba is experiencing nationwide blackouts, and clinicians have requested N95s. I will donate a dollar for every RT this gets in the next hour.

All my work on Donald J Trump’s illegal war gets throttled on X. If you feel like annoying Elon Musk and the President of the US, please do share it. Thank you 🙏🏽
No Rose, the bill will eventually be paid by you & your entitled Hubby.
Quite the pathetic tear jerking attempt across MSM & from fools yesterday, who've not been following this near 20 yr tale of Shenanigans from these two Petulant idiots
Link is here. These are high-level insiders who understand the systems, how they work & why they've felt impelled to speak out. They say the government's responses about Palantir not owning the data is entirely beside the point.

Say what you like about globalisation but kudos to Oakeshott for earning a living by opining about Islam in the country she chooses not to live in from the Muslim majority country where Islam is the official religion where she does. Bonus points for the regime propaganda. 10/10
