Seen a lot of name calling about Jim O'Callaghan on here, he made a reasoned argument that aligns with many Irish people, he also criticised past failings, if you disagree with him (as I do) make the counter argument #irishtimes #jimocallaghan

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying. I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

Atrocities are not neatly historical. They don’t only happen to other people in faraway places. They are a metaphor for the ills of the modern world. Politically, militarily and morally atrocious behaviour is spreading like a virus, and draws ever closer to home.
