Is our inability to protect Molly Malone from groping emboldening Russia and what will it mean for our spending on missile defence? I’ll be talking to Kieran Cuddihy, in association with Lockheed Martin, about it shortly. Tune in or you’re a Putin puppet.

“Denounce your oppressors in the precise language of your occupier, or be painted as complicit in violence…”
"Do you condemn Hamas?" It’s a question that masquerades as moral inquiry but functions as a political weapon — a loaded demand hurled at Palestinians not to seek truth, but to trap them in a false binary: denounce your oppressors in the precise language of your occupier, or be…
Breaking: Simon Harris rushed to the Beacon Hospital with a case of what doctors are calling the worst case of Serious-Face-With-Empty-Platitude-Voice-itis that they’ve ever seen.
Journalist Wala al-Jaabari posted “I’m not afraid of dying from hunger. I’m afraid of the heartbreak if this insane war ever stops!" shortly before she was killed alongside her husband & children by an Israeli airstrike. #JournalismIsNotACrime, but in Gaza it’s a death sentence
The US, UK & EU countries have invaded countries in the Middle East on the pretence of protecting human rights. Today they fund the murder & starvation of an entire population. NOW is the time to act against Israel. Words are not enough. #FreePalestine #Ceasefire #LetTheAidIn
While Gaza shames the world, we can be proud of the courage, robustness and determined use of meaningless platitudes by our Government | latest by me in tomorrow’s Irish Times
And watch how they trip over themselves to get in when the bastards finally let them. White buttoned down shirts at the ready. Tears prepped like scotch aged in sherry casks
Hundreds of high-profile Western journalists are complicit. And, here's the thing, many of them genuinely believe that all they're doing is being objective. After 25 years in this business, I know the hubris well.
"Yes, there is a fraud. I would also say there is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of silence by the state which has allowed this to happen" - @Seamusdo, General Secretary, NUJ, 2019, BEFORE the @RTE scandals broke. Seamus Dooley, after the @RTE scandals broke:
Glad to join you @Trickstersworld and @YousefAljamal, and appreciate your dedicated coverage and amplifying our voices. As for the rest, we really hope it's be more than just listening— it's time for ACTION!
Just recorded a PalCast with Ahmed and @YousefAljamal and while he won’t thank me for saying so, he genuinely is remarkable. Thank you for speaking up. To the rest of you: Are You Listening? #GazaIsStarving

We had @RichardJMurphy tell us 2 years ago on the @EchoChambersPod about how the renationalising of water in the UK could (and should) be done for about a £1. He was right then. He’s right now. Listen: tortoiseshack.ie/1060-the-publi…
The true cost of nationalising water is close to nothing. No one pays full price for bust companies. Very often, they go for £1. Why do ministers keep lying, or are they really stupid enough not to know?
