We’re being asked by half the media & politicians to swallow the idea that known racist football hooligans should be allowed to rampage through our cities for NO OTHER REASON than that they happen to be Israeli.

Fuck. That.

For context on just how far the Overton Window has shifted to the right on this issue, here’s a snippet from the BNP’s 2010 manifesto.

The BNP recognises the right of legally settled and law-abiding minorities to remain in the UK and enjoy the full protection of the law, on the understanding that the indigenous population of Britain has the right to remain the majority population of our nation.

1. Violence didn’t just break out. It was so preplanned that far-right ‘bloggers’ were able travel from England to attend.

2. Name it. It’s far-right violence.

3. If the targets of violence are singled out for race or ethnicity & other groups are not targeted in a similar way, that’s racist. [1/2]

First question defence lawyer should ask each of these ‘nurses’

“Why did you go to the media before instigating proceedings at the Tribunal?”

Let Naomi Cunningham cough and splutter for them, but MAKE these christo-fascist fuckers answer the question.

Their claim should then be struck-out.

Pillorying a trans colleague to intimidate them and destroy their character before Employment Tribunal proceedings was a calculated act. On this act alone, their case should be struck-out and every one of them dismissed for gross misconduct.

This article has a lil list in, and right at the top, number 1 is:
“build trust through transparency”.

Of course this is just how the EHRC wants others to act.
They can analyse 50,000+ survey responses with AI, and explain practically nothing about it.

This research shows how Sex is dynamic.

GAHT changed 7 of the 10 key proteins that are normally different between males and females, proving that sex hormones strongly influence blood biomarkers to help better align with a person's gender identity.

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.

there wasn't a single "peaceful protestor" at Citywest. Being there, even if just standing silently, in agreement/support of the organisers of that crowd, was an act of intimidation to the people inside the building and an act of violence.

The big thing to remember about this, and what all of us must keep reiterating when we talk about it, is that the justifications about “efficiency savings” for privatisation were simply blatant lies.

THE LONDON ECONOMIC

"Everything is too expensive and nothing works. £200bn of our money has been paid out to shareholders for privatised utilities like rail, mail, energy and busses.

That's money that could have gone into reducing customers' bills or investing in infrastructure. It hasn't, it's gone out in the form of shareholder profit. If you look at social care, which is really the monster under the bed when you look at any local authority's budget, the role of private equity is disgusting. So the first thing we need to do is admit that privatisation has been a failed experiment, it has cost this country dearly and it is an experiment that needs to end."

Others have noted that this doesn’t have anything to say about who rioters were. But neither does it have a single word to say about the terrified people inside City West who were the intended targets of the mob’s violence

Issued by Government Press Office
21 October 2025
Statement by Taoiseach Michel Martin
I strongly condemn the violent disorder that unfolded in Citywest in Dublin this evening.
I pay tribute to the frontline gardaí who acted courageously and quickly to restore order.
The Minister for Justice and Garda Commissioner have briefed me on the operation, and I thank everyone for their work.
An Garda Síochána protect us all and have a proud tradition of service to the Irish people.
There can be no justification for the vile abuse against them, or the attempted assaults and attacks on members of the force that will shock all right-thinking people.

Three small children ran through dust and gunfire, dodging rubber bullets to escape armed agents from ICE, FBI, DEA, and ATF. “I didn’t get caught,” one boy said. “Nobody got handcuffs on me.” No child should have to run from men with guns in America. But in Idaho, they did.

Not one word about who the mob were, their motives or politics, or their targets.
I'll say it again - Irish politicians, law enforcement and media have absolutely no idea what they are doing when it comes to the far right, and they will reap a bitter harvest from their ignorance.
