Killing children: the price of freedom

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him.

No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

They don’t like that we oppose British rule, that we don’t believe that England serves anyone in Ireland and the working classes on both sides of the community deserve better; deserve funding, deserve appropriate mental health services, deserve to celebrate music and art and deserve the freedom to express our culture.

In opposing us they broke their own laws.

Free Palestine! X

You can have goals, you have skill and flair but there will forever be room in Anfield for the kind of moment that has just seen Connor Bradley run 40 yards to flatten Kylian Mbappe and win a tackle to light a spark.
