@MirabelTweets1 When there are calls for war, we should simply put all those looking for it, from both sides, in a room or on an island somewhere. Last man standing wins. Optional to then charge the winner with mass murder. And the rest of us just get on with our lives
Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.
It has made JD Vance very mad.
It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?
Two small island economies blew up in 2008. Iceland and Ireland. Their names differ by one letter, and their handling of the crisis differed by everything that matters.
Iceland's three big banks, Kaupthing, Landsbanki, and Glitnir, had grown assets to roughly ten times the country's GDP by 2008. Pure credit-fueled madness. When the music stopped, the Icelandic government did the unthinkable: it let them fail. Bondholders ate the losses. The state refused to socialize private bank debt onto 320,000 citizens who never signed up for it. Capital controls went up, the króna collapsed, and the politicians actually prosecuted bankers. Twenty-six of them went to prison. Sigurður Einarsson and Hreiðar Már Sigurðsson, the men who ran Kaupthing, served real sentences.
Ireland took the opposite road. In September 2008, the Irish government issued a blanket guarantee covering the liabilities of its major banks, including Anglo Irish Bank, a property-lending casino that should have been allowed to die in peace. The taxpayer absorbed the bill. By the time the rescue ended, Ireland had poured around 64 billion euros into its banks, roughly 40 percent of GDP. The state took on private gambling debts, then went to the Troika in 2010 hat in hand for an 85 billion euro bailout, and accepted years of austerity to pay for losses it had no business owning.
Both economies recovered. Both eventually grew again. The difference is who paid and who learned. Iceland made creditors and reckless bankers bear the consequences of their own decisions, which is the entire point of capitalism: profit and loss, not profit and bailout. Ireland protected the people who made the bad bets and handed the invoice to schoolteachers and shopkeepers.
You will hear economists call Ireland's GDP rebound a triumph (much of that "growth" is multinational accounting fiction, Leprechaun economics, but that's another lesson). What they skip is the moral architecture. When you guarantee bank liabilities, you abolish the discipline that makes markets work. You tell every banker in the country that downside is optional.
Iceland jailed its bankers. Ireland reimbursed theirs.
A horrific crime took place yesterday in Gaza, and the world barely heard about it.
Israeli soldiers detained a child and his father while they were checking on their home.
Today, the father was released bearing signs of torture.
The child was returned as a body.
Tortured. Killed.
This crime must not be buried in silence.
WILLIE MCRAE LAST WORDS WERE I'M GOING TO GET THEM
In April 1985, a Scottish lawyer named Willie McRae left Glasgow on a Friday evening heading to his holiday cottage. He never arrived.
He was found unconscious in his crashed car on a remote Highland road with a bullet in his head.
Police ruled it suicide. Case was closed.
One problem. The gun was found outside the car, several yards away. McRae was still inside, seatbelt on, doors jammed shut.
The officer who last spoke to McRae said he was being watched by MI5 and Special Branch.
McRae had patted his briefcase and said he had information and was going to get them.
When that officer later requested his own witness statement under Freedom of Information, he found it had been replaced with a forgery...
Every mention of surveillance, MI5, and the briefcase had been deleted.
There had been a fire at McRae's office the day before. A witness saw a man running from the building carrying a briefcase.
This was not a random lawyer. McRae had just humiliated the British nuclear industry at a public inquiry, blocking plans to dump nuclear waste across the UK.
He was also reportedly investigating a Westminster paedophile ring.
40 years later there has still never been a Fatal Accident Inquiry.
The post-mortem report has never been made public. Over 13,000 people signed a petition demanding answers.
The official position of the British state is that a man who embarrassed the establishment, knew dangerous secrets, and had just told a police officer he was going to get them, then shot himself ... after which the gun walked out of the locked car on its own.

@MikeTappTweets@ZackPolanski I support Palestine Action. Shove that up your hole, you fascist cunt. I also support the prosecution of all those who are complicit in Israel’s genocide. See you in The Hague
@DavidGHFrost@Telegraph It’s astonishing that you get paid to write such drivel. Here’s a suggestion- fuck off out of the land you stole in the north of our country and then you won’t have to worry about it anymore
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed.
This video shows three young men trying to help an injured person, but Israel bombs them with a missile, killing them all.
A moment the world must never forget.
