Unionism was complaining about the £150,000 Irish signage at grand central station when loyalist thugs burn a bus worth £800,000 so I don’t want to hear about the cost of Irish signage again
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

As Secretary of the Bobby Sands Trust I condemn the cowardly and craven decision by SDLP councillors tonight on Belfast City Council to support unionists by absenting themselves on a motion aimed at removing a statue to Bobby Sands in Twinbrook. (Full statement below)
Nolan spent at least a year on a republican funeral that happened during COVID,every conceivable angle was covered twice over. Here we have the actual police service tipping off unionist paramilitary bars. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. See how they work.

This is the most shocking video I ever watched. One of the victims of the Israeli terrorist strike in Gaza a few hours ago was left with his head cut off from the middle.
This is beyond EVIL. I have just found this video which shows the tragic injury of the 3-year-old child who was hit by shrapnel in the back of his hear in an Israeli TERRORIST strike in Gaza two hours ago.
This is EVIL. Israel!!!
Father screaming, “Look, world!”
@uuponline@JonBurrowsMLA When Unionist politicians applaud Rory’s achievements and a few weeks earlier stood with smiling faces as loyalist bands play ‘up to our knees in fenian’ blood, I take it Rory unlike his uncle was not to be included.
🚨 A Palestinian mom was shot point blank in her head by IDF soldiers while she was carrying her child.
Retweet and expose Israel if you have a little Humanity left in you.
Absolute bombshell. A prominent Jewish Rabbi destroys the Western media narrative. He confirms that tens of thousands of Jews live completely free and protected in Iran right now. The Iranian government even funds Jewish hospitals while Washington pushes for war.
For the record, I do not know Gerry Adams personally. I have been involved in I/Vs with him for both the BBC and RTÉ and that's it. He should of course face scrutiny, but where is the similar scrutiny for, say, Ronnie Flanagan or leading figures within the NIO's Security Dept?
