This is great but also part of what kills me about the Irish team. Bed wetters against poor opposition but world beaters against best teams in the World

Started volunteering at our local parkrun and by god it’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever gotten involved with. Seeing people achieve their goals week in and out is just amazing.

Studying politics in UCD, it was really obvious who was there because they wanted a career in politics and the status that came with it and who wasn’t. I’ve looked at politicians through this lens since. Are they here because they got involved in a cause or for the nice pension.
Some get into politics to make a difference but most are looking for a career path. The first and foremost goal of a political career is to attain power. The second is to hold on to it.
Simon Harris was sending press releases to local papers as a TEENAGER. For him it was never about helping people.

So much of the centrist approach to politics has devolved into "How do we trick people into supporting us like the right has done?" where talking sincerely about policies that might help ordinary people's lives is for naïve schmucks who don't understand the glorious theatre of it all

An IPAS centre burnt out with fireworks thrown into it - women and children lucky to get out alive - when are we going to start taking the far right violence in Ireland seriously?
It's been like watching the world's slowest train crash. For 5 years.

The same justice system which charges people with terrorist legislation for opposing genocide also allow one of their own to shoot unarmed civilians on the street without consequence. No such thing as British Justice. Only inequality.

The Gardaí were totally unwilling to intervene with the Citywest rioters because they weren't Mother's against genocide having a peaceful candle lit vigil or peaceful Debenhams picketers so they just ignored them like so many unanswered domestic abuse calls.
