My local pub in Ireland is known as “Johnny’s”. It is run by Michael, Johnny (deceased)’s son. When I was a child it was known as “Ketty’s” and was run by Johnny, Ketty (deceased)’s son. 🤷♀️

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Tonight is mischief night in Liverpool, and was when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. We used to ring the bell and run like hell, or swap over peoples’ gates or similar pranks. Saw tonight that the police in Liverpool have taken out dispersal orders. Times change.

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

And, I feel this is kind of important to mention, when this government seems more concerned about condemning people protesting a genocide than the people carrying out the genocide I would, personally, say, we have a somewhat bigger issue than people holding up placards in the street.

yet more proof that the regional press is so often the place to go for balanced reporting covering more than one side of a story
I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred
I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

I grew up in UK to Liverpool Irish parents so I knew the history and we had relatives in the North who we visited and saw what they went through in everyday life in the 60s - 90s. Not taught it at school though.

This is a popular argument among people entirely ignorant of genocide scholarship & international law. It seems unlikely that Netanyahu is one of those people.
Netanyahu responds to genocide accusations: "As Ambassador Huckabee said, if we're practicing genocide we're surely doing a very bad job of it, because we could've basically eliminated the entire population of Gaza, but we went the other direction."

I encourage anyone who has doubts about vaccines to walk through a 19th Century graveyard and look at the ages of the deceased. As well as a shocking number of children, you'll also see way too many women of child bearing age.
