A great turnout at the Dún Laoghaire Welcomes rally today. The message was clear - reject the hatred & scaremongering aimed at vulnerable minorities, we need to unite to take on the government in the fight for housing & services for all. #RefugeesWelcome#NoToRacism#HomesForAll

Any other country would make changes to ensure this doesn't happen again. Despite the Shannon Report and the number of children that were raped and sexually abused, the government won't make the changes needed to protect children. Honestly, I give up

Small report on an interesting precedent from Iberia.
Before the FT here mentioned it, I’d only heard of it through @EchoChambersPod but it seems so relevant to Ireland- housing crisis, bad bank and all- that I’m surprised Irish media and politics isn’t all over it.
Nobody should be a bit surprised or deterred by @LeoVaradkar comments on #abortionreview. Leo was against gay adoption. Leo allowed sick women travel for abortion as health minister. He voted against two #repeal Bills I moved but then told the world repeal was ‘quiet revolution’
22 April 1938 | A Hungarian Jewish boy, Gyuszi Ivan, Goldberger was born in Katymár.
In June 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
7 April 1944 | Two Slovak Jews Rudolf Vrba (b. 1924, no. 44070) and Alfred Wetzler (b. 1918, no. 29162) escaped from the German Nazi Auschwitz camp. Read their story in this thread.
I read "This Book Is Gay" last night and, as an aul' one who left school in the 1970s, I wasn't terribly shocked by any of the content. I can't help feeling that much of the outrage is coming from people whose own sex education was sorely lacking.

How often do you hear the good guys say "We're gonna get as close to committing crimes against humanity as possible"?

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.

Feel free to RT to show that you do.
Johnson went to 50 parties or more and had 1 £100 fine.
Where is the justice?
"Cotswold town tells swimmers to stay out of the water at 129-year-old bathing spot due to sewage pollution."
Forget the water industry's propaganda here's the brutal reality of their dirty business.
