Countering hysteria. Personal liberty & bodily autonomy.

[MichaeloKeeffe @Mick_O_Keeffe]

A woman in rural Ireland posted photos on Facebook of a black man who followed her mother and daughter home the other day.

She lives in a cul de sac but the man followed them the entire way home and she has footage of him approaching and standing outside the house.

Her neighbour witnessed the incident too.

But then the black man posted saying he was just going for a walk, and in his opinion, the fact that he followed a woman and girl home and stood outside their house looking shady, is completely normal behaviour.

This isn't the shocking part, non-Irish men in Ireland say a lot of stupid things, like earlier this week in Dublin when Algerian man Riad Bouchaker said he "wasn't trying to hurt anyone" when he stabbed 3 children. Thankfully he was found guilty.

The shocking part is the replies.

Irish men and women piling onto people who were followed home by a strange black man. There are Irish men with public profiles on Facebook angrily telling this woman she should tolerate strange men following her mother and child home.

The Irish mind seems to abandon thousands of years of evolution, history and instinct, when a foreigner is involved.

Following a woman and young child home? Apparently that's fine if you're black.

When we were young our parents taught us not to trust strangers, but in 2026 Irish women are piled onto when they talk about strangers following them home.

Between 2019-2023 Ireland's sexual offence rate was 43% higher than the EU average, while our population is growing at 7 times the EU average.

We're not adding Irish people, the Irish are below replacement. We're adding foreigners, and at the same time, sexual assaults are skyrocketing.

I wonder how many Irish women have been followed, attacked or worse, by foreigners, but they're afraid to say it because they know they'll be called racist.

Don't you get it yet. They are dissolving Ireland as a nation for the Irish and rebuilding it as a multicultural liberal state for the entire world. Palestinians deserve a state for them but the Irish don't deserve their own according to our own politicians.

[Tom O’Hanlon @TomOHanlon17]

Now that Riad Bouchaker has been found guilty of the attack on the children on Parnell Street the Irish public deserve to know:

- On what grounds did he come to Ireland?
- On what grounds was he allowed to stay?
- Who paid for his Irish citizenship (it’s about €1k)?

A semi state company, the ESB, who made €650m profit last year,

Is putting up the cost of electricity.

This is despite Ireland having the 2nd most expensive electricity prices in the world.

Look at the ripple just one article by the Irish Daily Mail is having on discourse surrounding two decades of asylum abuse in Ireland.

See how Labour lash out. They have grown so sure that they would never be challenged.

A few more articles like this and we would be well on the road to having a media that holds the powerful to account - and with it, the stirrings of a functional democracy.

The year is 1086.

The deer walking through your barley belong to the king. You may watch them strip a season's food from your field, and if you raise a hand against one you can be blinded for it, or hanged. A third of England has been fenced off so that a handful of men may hunt across it. The forest is his, the game is his, and the hunger is yours to keep. Here the enforcement is a blade and a rope, and it feels no need to explain itself to you.

The year is 1363.

Parliament sets down in law what a man of your rank may eat and may wear. Meat and fine white bread are reserved by statute for the high tables, while your station is pottage, dark bread, and the good sense to know your place. The reasoning has softened into God's own order now, and the priest will preach it to you on Sunday, in case the sight of a full field ever tempts you to forget it.

The year is 1563.

The Crown forbids you meat three days a week, and swears on the face of the Act that the rule has nothing to do with religion. It is for the navy. Eat a chop on a Wednesday and the price is three pounds or three months, and a London butcher is fined twenty for the crime of slaughtering an ox in Lent. The enforcement has learned to wear a statute and call itself policy, and the people mock it even as they obey.

The year is 1723.

Take a single rabbit with a blackened face and you may hang for it, the very same penalty as murder. The woods are strung with mantraps that shatter a man's leg at the knee, and game cannot even be lawfully bought or sold. So the meat walking the English countryside belongs, from birth to plate, to the men who own the ground it happens to stand on.

The year is 1845.

A blight takes the potato, and a million people die on the empty fields while cattle and butter roll out of Irish ports on ships bound for England, guarded and unhurried, moving past the starving all season long. The meat is real and the hunger is real, and the law of property alone holds the two apart, without a single soldier being asked to lift a hand.

The year is 1992.

There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one on your grandchild's classroom wall. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta make up the broad and virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day, while meat and fat are banished to the little tip, to be feared and carefully rationed. No gate now, no gallows, no fine. Only a chart, and the quiet authority of everyone in the room agreeing at once.

Now it is today.

Meat is cheap and it is everywhere, and for the first time in this entire story an ordinary family could eat like the old lord whenever it pleased them to. And precisely at that moment, the advice arrives, aimed hardest at the people with the least, to set the meat aside and fill up on the grain. The comfortable read the label and buy the grass-fed and the wild-caught. Everyone else gets the cheap starch, and a reason to feel virtuous about settling for it.

Look back down the whole thread. The blade gave way to the statute, the statute to the fine, the fine to the market, and the market to a friendly chart on a wall. The weapon grew gentler at every single step, and the outcome never moved an inch. The good animal food gathers at the top. The grain settles to the bottom. Someone always has a reason why that is exactly as it should be, and the reason always manages to sound current.

Nobody has to hang you for a rabbit any more. They simply have to make you believe you chose the bread.

So when you are told, kindly and with great confidence, to fear the meat and lean on the grain, you are allowed to ask who benefits from that this time, and whether you have heard this same tune before in an older key.

Then keep the butter exactly where your grandmother kept it. She saw five of these off. She went on eating the meat, ignored every poster on every wall, and lived to ninety-one.

She will see this one off too.

Strange that an ethnic/aboriginal Irish person has to live for 10 years (if not fluent in Irish) or 5 years (if fully fluent in Irish) in an area designated as a Gaeltacht before they can legally build a house there.
Yet someone with no ethnic connection to Ireland only has to live here for 5 years before getting citizenship.

No matter what way the government and their paid minions in the media spin it, no matter how often they spin it, the truth remains;

Ireland does not have a housing crisis. Ireland has an immigration crisis. Legal and illegal.

New figures released to Aontú TD Paul Lawless show that the ESB reported after tax profits of €2.9 Billion between 2022 and 2025.

It comes as Electric Ireland is set to increase electricity prices by 8% tomorrow.

[David Quinn @DavQuinn]

Ok, let's spell it out. Stabbing of priest by a Muslim: almost zero media interest in the motive. Beheading of gay man by a Muslim: almost zero media analysis. Clonskeagh mosque closed for months partly because of suspected Muslim Brotherhood links: let's barely cover it. Irish Muslims going off to fight for ISIS: almost zero media interest. Money raised here for ISIS: almost zero media interest. Recent attempted butchering of a man in the North by a Sudanese man: let's focus on the riots. Rape of a girl outside an IPAS centre by an asylum-seeker: let's concentrate on the violent reaction. And so on.
