World War II British poster featuring colonial troops and the word "TOGETHER"

World War II British poster featuring colonial troops and the word "TOGETHER"

This British World War II poster would probably be considered "woke" today.

Social housing apartments in Rathfarnham left vacant for a year Councillors in south Dublin have questioned why a block of completed social housing units in Rathfarnham were left vacant for close to a year.

Really happy to get some traction on this. This is incredible in the middle of a housing crisis www.independent.ie/regionals/du...

The narrative around Steen and Sheridan being 'blocked' that's been swallowed hook, line and sinker by the media is incredible. Independent Ireland only came on board last minute, neither could convince 20 Independents and they chose to target a specific Cllr cohort #Aras25

Maria Ressa, "By design, social media platforms spread lies six times faster. If laced with fear, anger, hate, it goes viral. They change the way we vote"

This is how they got Brexit over the line in 2016

Charlie Kirk death: Report those who celebrate the shooting to employers, Vance says The vice-president's remarks come amid a wave of firings over posts deemed inappropriate about Kirk's death.

TV shows cancelled, people sacked or put on black lists... all for daring to speak the truth about "free speech warrior" Charlie Kirk.

America has plunged head first into some very dark territory indeed.

The most maddening thing about watching the right suddenly pretend they're concerned about hate speech and embracing cancel culture means that when they firmly held the exact inverse position a week ago, it was also insincere and performative.

Is this simply just a Tory rebrand? Reform are simply 1980s Thatcherites.

Boris Johnson and Brexit are the only reason these small boats exist.

Before 2018 there were ZERO.

1. Azerbaijan hasn't been at war with Albania. Trump confuses Albania with Armenia. But he wants credit, a Nobel Prize, for ending a war in which he can't identify the parties.
2. The Fox hosts are too ignorant or too sycophantic to correct him.
3. Imagine if Biden had said this.

So today, the USA government is going full β€˜cancel culture’ & London is being turned into a β€˜no-go zone’ for millions of its residents. And it’s all being done by people who profess to loathe both phenomena…

I look at the ugly state of politics in the USA and ask myself how anyone with a brain would want that imported here... but then ... Reform...

I would expect so. Some Local Authorities require would be candidates to be nominated by Councillors before they can address the Council. Fingal require 4 Councillors to support a nominee. However my Council its open to anyone.

Each local authority sets their own process. South Dublin will hold its special meeting on Friday 19th September.

I certainly hope so! On South Dublin it will be a roll call vote.

You can guarantee there'll be no political consequences. The British media will just shrug its shoulders. The game is rigged

Yep it's absolutely staggering. Our lot over here are copying them and marching with Loyalists. Utter mad

The same cohort demonised by the tabloids and Thatcher in the 80s at the height of football violence.

The individuals seeking a nomination for President from County Councils remind me of all those non Councillor candidates who run and look for votes on the Seanad Vocational Panels. Full of hope and enthusiasm but rarely successful #Aras25

This is how it needs to be done. Farage exposed for the charlatan he is. The British media and press absolutely pitiful in comparison πŸ™„
