Borderireland @borderireland.bsky.social · 21/05/2025100s of British joined the IDF, went to Gaza and assisted with the genocide. They returned to Britain and went back about their business, with British Government, police etc. ignoring their crimes. But chasing Kneecap suits their political objectives and helps distraction. #speirgorm #kneecap #gaza 2130

Borderireland @borderireland.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Physiologically it’s emotionally important to Northern Nationalists as nothing would formally recognise our Irishness as much as a Presidental vote.
