Our friend Maurice Macartney wrote an incredible song for the Forgotten Famine film. Link in thread.

This is the song, Bully's Acre, written by Maurice Macartney, that appears at the end of The Forgotten Famine film. It is performed Stephen Macartney and Maurice. Hear it in full. Click the link below.
In so many ways it captures the heart and soul of the film.

Fantastic piece of work!!
Our short film about the Great Hunger in Newtownards.
There are Bully’s Acres all over Ireland – mass graves, where victims of an Gorta Mór and harsh workhouse regimes lie buried.
‘The Forgotten Famine’ is about one of them, in a quiet corner of County Down…

It's always the most privileged pricks that tell low income households that it's really simple to put money into a savings plan as soon as you get paid.. assuming they are low income because they don't manage money well??

I'm still so mad about this...a friend experienced racism just today from this business and his gaggle of followers... So clearly not learning anything!! I can't even read the comments I've seen enough bile all day
So, you're telling me that the man who mocked disabled people is also racist and transphobic?

This thread is everything right now lol! Brilliant!!
A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

I left twitter for here because of their change in privacy settings, when you block someone you have reasons.... So far I've seen anti trump posts and Elon being a fool posts...... I think I'm home! Lol
