reminder that those who complain about people calling #Irish 'Gaelic', rarely do anything else for actual language rights (apart from bringing this up). it also shows their ignorance. they don't really care about the language...

Can people call Irish, Gaelic? - IrishLanguage.ie
In short, yes. Saying ‘Gaelic’ for Irish is ok and you can use it. That in itself doesn’t seem like a controversial statement but say it in Ireland or

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.
Phones did not murder Brianna Ghey in cold blood.

‘Women & children to the front’ is a paramilitary and far-right strategy of legitimisation. Paramilitary backed far-right violence, intimidation & pogroms August 2024, Ballymena 2025 etc - same modus operandi. It was common knowledge that these weapons were to be handed out by this far-right group.

In Northern Ireland the majority of our elected Assembly can vote in favour of removing a minister from their post and it will simply not count because the minister in question identifies with a specific flag

I was thrown out of Stormont today for shouting at Paul Givan from the public gallery. He visited Israel on an all-expenses paid propaganda tour in his capacity as Northern Irish Education Minister and visited the Occupied Territories. A disgraceful man.
No regrets.

Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre.
Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers.
Are they worried by how some voters will feel about the prospect of an overdose prevention centre, 20 months out from an election?

After scaremongering yesterday that a local school was teaching about Islam in a Religious Education class (been doing it for 50 years) and that McDonald's were forcing the Arabic language on people (it's a promotion for menu items from other countries) this racist's page was shut down this morning.
