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.

And here is the man who launched the 'spoil the vote' campain with Declan Ganley. In this clip, Michael McCarthy, who has a million followers on Instagram, says we need more nuance regarding H1tler. #spoilthevote

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.

So there you have it..... the Burkes are controlled opposition, promoting a vote for Heather Humphries and doing what the far right always does.... taking away votes from the left to keep the establishment in power.

Peace Camp at Shannon Airport this morning as 22 Irish citizens are held hostage in the notorious Ketziot prison in Isreal, after being illegally taken in international waters. Not a peep out of our spineless Government. They are too busy on their knees in front of Donald Trump.

Brave flotilla activists have been taken hostage by Israel. The illegal interceptions on International waters are yet another war crime to add to genocide, starvation and ethnic cleansing. Call your politicians.

In February 2019, finance minister Paschal Donohoe had a secret "confidential call" with his Israeli counterpart to assure him the government would "block" the Occupied Territories Bill. The AIPAC sessions took place just one month after Donohoe made the call.
