Very fitting of Andy Farrell to recognise the 20th anniversary of Clive Woodward's disastrous 2005 Lions Tour by doing his very best to make this the fucking weirdest Lions tour ever.

They're not "protecting women". They're little servants of patriarchy and fascism that think they've a right to harass and attack anyone who doesn't fit their narrow, conservative view of womanhood and are delusional if they think the same gowls they're doing the legwork for won't come for them next

The Scottish Supreme Court ruling on the legal meaning of woman is a common sense judgement. The ruling found that for the purposes of equality legislation a 'woman' means a biological woman & 'sex' refers to 'biological sex.
It also confirmed that transpeople are protected under their Equality legislation in a separate category of 'gender reassignment. The ruling needs to be fully examined in this state.

Sinn Féin, once again, showing their full arse with David Cullinane gleefully welcoming yesterday's bit of court-sponsored transphobia in the UK. Not content to only go after immigrants, they've set their sights on trans people now. A disgusting shower of reactionary frauds.

Campaigning against open borders, for checks on the border with the 6 counties, being functionally climate change deniers, and getting onside with the large gametes freaks, I think we can all lay down the hope that they're somehow going to lead a leftwing government

An apology is not an apology if it's captioned with "I stand by what I said" and contains claims such as "well things just feel unsafe, regardless of what the statistics say" and blatantly disregards actual things that were said originally.

If you think Garron was getting it bad in his comments on TikTok you should see any Irish black athlete/creator or whatever being told they actually aren’t Irish!

If I had a massive online following as a relatively inoffensive comedian, I would simply not make weird, blunt, unsubstantiated statements about a complex topic.

This is actually perfect. The funders, armers & arbiters of genocide rewarding the passive & silent acquiescence of genocide. When the empathy of ‘activists’ doesn’t extend to Palestinian children, and they are duly rewarded for not speaking up when inconvenient 🫡 🥾👅

This consultation is a bit ridiculous. The reason the bus lane is empty is because there is no traffic in it. Opening up a bus lane to passenger vehicles will just slow down public transportation & add to traffic congestion as a whole. So this is a clear ‘no’ to this nonsense.

Then he got to us and we said we were from Ireland. He paused and then with extreme gravity and hushed reverence he said "Irish butter is comparable to French." I randomly felt a bout of National pride I've never experienced before or since.

I often think about when I was doing a food tour in Paris and the guide was waxing lyrical about French butter to the point where he went around to everybody in the group like: "Where are you from? US? Your butter is terrible? Netherlands? Not as good as French butter." and so on (1/2)

Yes, overtly far-right candidates failed at the ballot box in Ireland's general election. But we still have dog whistlers like Michael Collins, Noel Grealish, Mattie McGrath and Carol Nolan in there. We still have climate change deniers like the two Healys-Rae.

I don't want to see either Labour or the Soc Dems propping up a centre-right FF/FG coalition. Let them court right-wing independents. Have a proper left/right government/opposition split in the Dáil. Build a unified left wing alliance and take on FF/FG properly in the next election.
