They have got Kneecap's Mo Chara in court for waving a flag in 3 weeks.

But it has been 5 years and Michelle Mone is still wandering about scot-free, while the people who murdered 72 at Grenfell are laughing after 8 years knowing they will never face justice.

'Kneecap Mo Chara court appearance makes British state look panicked' For those with eyes to see, the case surrounding Mo Chara only makes one side look unreasonable.

The Express nails it:

"While Mo Chara stands in the dock for allegedly waving a flag, those complicit in a genocide walk the streets untouched."

My son takes this inhaler. In Ireland, it costs max €40. Prescription costs are capped at €80pm per family with a tax rebate on what we do spend. A lot of the population is entitled to free medications, paid for (willingly) by my taxes. But I guess America is free! Socialism is terrible, isn't it?

When we're not laughing we're shaking our heads in disbelief.

A lovely, lovely book and an excellent choice. Decades of computer use has sadly atrophied my book reading brain. I am trying to revive it!

Charlotte Church being a boss as usual 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Thinking of George Floyd 💔

Most Telegasph headline ever. They published this with a straight face. Interestingly, the article has now disappeared online.

Anyone remember when @telegraphnews.bsky.social used to be serious paper?

Oh I know the feeling. I'm too busy doing real work to assemble my promotion application .....

Paragraph 2 is worth your time as it is a prime example on how language is used by the Western media to downplay Israel's atrocities. "Slaughter" vs "killing." "Denying food" instead of "starving." This bias speaks volumes.

No thanks, I'd catch a disease.

If the jackboot fits ....

Listening to WBOR 91.1 on the Internet Road Trip from t'other side of the Atlantic. Perfect.

I've always wondered about a company that named itself after a Middle Earth communication device that was usurped by the Dark Lord Sauron. Not a good look!

Seeing some of those videos of ICE guys in full soldier of fortune getups with rifles and balaclavas being filmed by 40 year old women in Yoga pants telling them to go fuck themselves and get the fuck out of their city really shows once again that libmoms are America’s most fearless defenders

The movement grows....

The World Can Criticise Kneecap, But They Have Started Something The controversy surrounding the Irish rap band has obscured deeper questions about power, conflict and resistance, but they won't go away, writes Toner Quinn.

"Deep down in Ireland, we know where this comes from. The long Irish history of resistance has given us an instinct regarding conflict and colonisation."

You want to suppress free speech? Surely not! Anyway, well done Kneecap and Coachella.

The Women going to the Sepulchre, 1912, Robert Anning Bell Painting of women in blue garments walking leftward, one woman, and then five behind her, on a flat plain, hazy sky ....

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

I know there's horrible, horrible stuff going on in the world right now, but just for a little while, a moment of joy. Well done Rory. And well played Justin.

Masters champion after 11 years of trying. 6th ever career slam winner.

Something something Thatcher Reagan something.

This is a bit like playing chess with a pigeon, isn't it? It's fascinating that those who complain about "woke" are frequently illiterate. Next up: "That's your education talking."

BTW, this college boy lives in the middle of farming country and I've never met more decent hard working people.
