It absolutely disgraceful. We have young people in Clare wasting their lives away in nursing homes because of the lack of accessible housing.

A derelict pub earmarked for accessible housing in Ruan gets a makeover by a disgruntled bigot. I'm sure the same person shouts about 'our own' whenever immigrants or refugees are mentioned.

The EU is actively trying to shut down protests against the genocidal state. Our governments are compromised but the people have the streets.

I firmly believe it was a trade. He gets the Nobel and unregulated access to oil and she gets into government. Problem is that Maduro's government is still loyal to him and US oil companies don't want to invest in the extraction of the oil. An absolute clusterfuck.

If like me you wondered 'where did this guy come out of?' during the Irish presidential election, here's your answer. Morto for Kerry and Tipperary County Councils.

People like Quinn and his Iona brethren love to push the 'silent majority' myth. No, the vast majority do not want a hardline Catholic for president, we do not hate immigrants and we most definitely do not support a genocidal apartheid state.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Thank you for this. Many people are so confidently wrong these days and are capitalising off of it.

Just so people realise who was behind the 'spoil your vote' campaign... This article appeared in Gript, which is owned by multi-millionaire Declan Ganley, who was given ample air time on our national broadcaster prior to the presidential election to spout his grievances about the candidates.
