Colleagues, family, friends on #strike. No blockades, not a single threat of violence. Unlike the crowd the government rushed to placate in April, and who still haven't claimed a lot of what was given. Because unlike unionised workers, lot of them are not tax compliant and don't play by the rules.

This report by Gavin Cooney about the treatment Irish players, journalists and officials received at the hands of everyone even tangentially associated with Israel, the Israeli FA and Israeli "news" outlets is jaw dropping. These people are not ok. www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...

Ireland v Israel was no ordinary match assignment. Irish journalists were watched and filmed
Recurring presence of out-of-place people combined with blatant filming of reporters made for a deeply uncomfortable week

Eamonn McCann is always razor sharp in his analysis of the North. Garvagh road is not a difference between ‘two communities’ that needs ‘both sides’ understood. It only benefits the DUP and hardline loyalists to force us to revisit a terrible time in the North. rebelnews.ie/2026/10/02/g...

Drumcree Orange Order march remains stalled after large crowd gathers to stop parade It’s just so hard to believe we are at this utter bs again. The parades commission should be utterly ashamed of themselves. What was wrong, was the North too peaceful for them or something?
