22 years ago today, the people of this island voted overwhelmingly for the good friday agreement. i made this to reflect that there’s more which binds us than pulls us apart. and frys are delicious.
politicians, aren’t you supposed to be fear mongering about the threats posed by the “other” side?
doug beattie over here: “you REALLY gotta worry about these guys right behind me”
imagine having had the single most profound moment of your entire near century of existence, and the only person around to share it with is an emotionless billionaire robot.
with all the sectarian struggles in northern ireland, it surprises me that even my own accent can be detrimental in its own way. love to all the reddit peeps out there. dark mode for life. https://t.co/9zwoETdAuc
@seanosullivan thanks so much sean, if only our representatives embodied the same values as the leaders and movements we take inspiration from. instead we get the DUP and their trump dog-whistles, and deplorable, toxic views.
continued thanks to everyone donating, every hour a little closer thanks to you. for clarity’s sake as some people have misunderstood our gofundme goal, the £80,000 goal includes the court fees up to this point, as well as the £45,000 now being asked of us https://t.co/BWFsiQ84SE
2/ …climb out of, but if we can manage to raise enough to settle the most recent court costs, it’ll allow us to take our next steps toward rebuilding our lives with that much less burden. thank you all so very much- this should never have been any of our weight to carry.
1/ i can’t even begin to effectively express my gratitude to everyone who’s been helping & contributing donations toward the mammoth court costs we’ve been saddled with. the debt we’re in as a result of restoring the birthrights of all the people of NI may take years to fully…
@yidmcd @EmmandJDeSouza you’re awesome, that means so much James, but it pains me to know this unfair burdon should never have been put on the people to begin with
1/ Why are we responsible for these unbelievably unimaginably astronomical court costs? All the money we could’ve put toward a home and our married life together is gone, and the debt being asked of us is still rising.
@garethcmurray @stephen_daly @jandraderocha @EmmandJDeSouza & emma already educated you- as you well know it was the home office dragging us through court, not the other way. it was their appeal & they continued to appeal against us despite "assurance that legislation would be adjusted"- & after may’s speech they lodged a further appeal.
@garethcmurray @stephen_daly @jandraderocha @EmmandJDeSouza your unhealthy fixation & duplicitous motivations are really becoming concerning. the fact that you pretend to commend us yet devote so much of your time to spreading toxic misinformation in an attempt to dissuade people from supporting us is so gross, give it a rest already.
@Panzerfrank haha love it, they’ll trust us through pretty much anything (so long as we don’t pretend to eat their ears) and i’d never heard that song, thank you!
@Panzerfrank that’s some wonderful imagery, thank you so much william, it’s gestures like these which make a person feel completely at home even when half way around the world from where they started
