This is f*cking disgusting, scandalous greed
When so many go hungry & without a home
A state body that got €1.7 billion from the state last year pays ridiculous staff bonuses while the company is failing so many including the northside of Cork city where we live

Bird flu is being painted as a problem wild birds are inflicting on the poultry industry, but it's precisely the reverse.

Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

Apropos of recent comments by the Taoiseach and Tánaiste:

In September (the most recent data available), 44% of asylum decisions resulted in the applicant being considered eligible for international protection.

It is presently taking the State around 17 months to process a standard application.

Colum Eastwood has described the cost as “sick” and “an insult to victims who are left to fight for truth and justice alone”.

"'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All"

In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again, writes James Jackson for Zeteo:
'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All
In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again.

Sorry but the fact that the RTE player subtitles just say "speaks Irish" instead of showing the actual Irish words really says it all, doesn't it...

Will Netanyahu torpedo the ‘Gaza peace plan’ sooner rather than later?

Here’s Noam Chomsky explaining the cyclical pattern of Israel reaching a ceasefire with Hamas, and then openly breaking the ceasefire and resuming the slaughter.

The videos* coming out of the peaceful protests in solidarity with Palestinians, in London, are hair-raising. Ordinary Brits, protesting genocide, being arrested for terrorism offences. This is the behaviour of a fascist states. The bravery of these ppl in standing for what they believe in*

The new leader of @greenparty.org.uk is putting almost every other party leader in the UK to shame, and a lot more politicians besides.

When did you hear anything like this from any other party leader?
The Green Party now has 78,000 members.

Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line.

I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand.

This is behind a paywall which is unfortunate cos it’s very good. I wouldn’t usually post a way around the paywall of an Irish publication, but I’ll make an exception 🙏 (archive below)

Author is in command of the figures and they’re not good - the consequences disastrous
