No worries - I see you and have added you back! 💜

Cool, have a good weekend and we'll speak soon! 💜

I don't suggest that all of our MPs are venal, self-serving people who don't care. Some are better. But generations of gravy train-riders in NI have taught their successors how to balance in that sweet spot where a mask of caring is just good enough to fool enough of the people, enough of the time.

But the other reason is that not everyone in Northern Ireland is poor and deprived. Some of us - i.e. the small number who are MPs - are living vastly more comfortable lives than everyone else, and many have an eye on becoming even moreso one day, via a peerage. They'll never rock that boat.

Everyone in Northern Ireland deserves better than the leaders we've got. One reason they don't fight Westminster more effectively on things like the inadequacy of the block grant is that it suits them for large numbers of people here to live in poverty and deprivation. It's a divide and rule tool.

Hey, I've owed you a message since circa my birthday - things really fell apart that week and then chaos descended due to caring responsibilities, but I would still like to do a Zoom hang!

I'd meant to attend the Disabled People's Parliament thing at Stormont tomorrow, but my mental health has been so bad lately that I've got limited ability to safely engage with public policy from a disability perspective. The COVID inquiry continues to show how little we matter to leaders; end of.

Tonight I am here mainly to scream about this. They are/always were a load of sectarian cunts who make every decision on basis of orange vs. green, though Sinn Fein noticably forget their sectarian loyalties when fucking over trans people because Keir told them to.

Weird, now both posts show the new one. This fucking website is so janky. 3/

None of this will happen overnight because my life is fucking on fire at the moment - sorry for any confusion btw as I got distracted and switched my profile pic to match that account halfway through making this thread, looks really weird to me as the first post has my old pic apparently?

Naturalisation will give you Irish citizenship, a condition of which is you must >continue< to live in Ireland for a certain length of time. However an Irish passport gives you EU citizenship & the right to travel in the EU. www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-becom...

Right now British citizens have the right to live & work in Ireland & apply for naturalisation. Domicile is based on the Common Travel Agreement. Given volumes of UK LGBTQ ppl reconnoitring & moving here, it’s important to sort out your plans: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/governmen...

And they're so badly placed - half the time they cut the vlogger off mid-word, never mind mid-sentence.
