Never forget: your government didn't give a shit about 7 years of escalating arson attacks on IPAS centres & street assaults on immigrants & LGBT people & that they & the media described the arsonists & shitters on ballot papers as having "reasonable concerns." www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

CCTV catches moment intruder torched asylum centre housing children Gardai have rebranded attack in Drogheda as a potential attempted murder after camera footage was released

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

Ah you can surely. We did it the other day with the cousins... Had to keep telling them not to spit the water back into the bowl 🙈

Happy Christmas

Add today's news to this thread. This is loyalist terror so embedded in UK institutions, governance and psyche that there are no consequences for paramilitarism in service of aims agreeable to the British state. This is what impunity looks like.

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

Happy birthday

Work away

You're wasted on this show.

Well, I've had a drink but I wouldn't say I'm wasted

Putting that one in my pocket for again.

Oh wow! That's very kind. Thanks so much 🫶

I tried to look this up last year's bake off buy couldn't find a recipe to start with, might just wing it.
Thanks!

Glad we're all over here now for a collective #gbbo watch

Stunning! Is the pattern also made of chiffon mixture that's just heavily coloured?

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Plenty of players aren't over 35 🤷🏾‍♀️

Join us Tuesday 24th 12.30 to 2pm. We won't stop protesting until the Central Bank stops fundraising for apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. #StopFundingGenocide #GazaGenocide

I was thinking that and then thought about the health professionals and vulnerable patients. Not loving the world's new rules 😭

Those are not the letters I got today... But try start with an A

@louisemcsharry.bsky.social thought this might be a bit of you

Stunning film. All the feels.

Are we talking about the cullinane thing? Or the two party leaders cashing in on hanging out with Breast Friends Newry today? Surely the Fonzy approach is to do women-supporting-women but NOT post it all over your socials??

Not a watcher of golf. But now I feel like I might vomit 🤮 come on #rory #masters

Dáil told greyhound racing is 'integral to our social fabric' as it debates additional funding The government was asked why it continues to prop up the declining industry.

They can't house the homeless or fund operations on kids with scoliosis, but millions of our tax money are just gleefully handed over to an industry rife with animal cruelty and abuse? Integral part of society my arse: www.thejournal.ie/dail-greyhou...

Watched. It. Go. In.

🤣😂🤣

Oh, they've fixed this though, you can "pin" messages so you can click back to them and avoid all the blah blah blah. Maybe you know this...😬

A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion.

Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

Love it!! #paddystinian and proud!
