Your daily reminder that all efforts to regulate access to social media has nothing to do with 'protecting kids'. It's about identifying all adults on social media/eradicating online anonymity and ensuring kids are nurtured with only one left-biased sociopolitical perspective.

The Parnell Square accused Riad Bouchaker (52) visited and spent 10 minutes at a Sunni Muslim mosque on nearby Talbot Street, 90 minutes before allegedly launching a knife attack on children. Whilst there have been reports on RTE and Mirror that the accused visited a premises at 8-9 Talbot Street, none have disclosed that this "premises" is a Sunni Muslim mosque. If Paddy McGinty had visited a church 90 minutes before allegedly carrying out an atrocity, you can be bloody sure that would be reported.

RTE Six One News reports today’s proceedings at the Parnell Square stabbing prosecution. They omit any reference to the accused, an Algerian, saying “Shit Irish. Shit Fucking Irish” just ahead of the attack which some people might regard as significant. Yes, RTE may have a challenge reporting the vulgarity to an early evening audience, but to omit any reference or sanitised version which connotes what was said, is poor form. The accused Riad Bouchaker denies all charges; trial continues.

Denmark publishes crime by country of origin, not nationality. I looked at 2021-2025 data. Overall: Somali-origin 7.8x the Danish rate. American-origin 0.34x. Thread of Top Five and Bottom Five.

This week's asylum arrivals report in the article below is a cracker! Biggest number of weekly "arrivals" in more than six months, 97 Somalis alone, mostly single adult males, nearly all arriving into Ireland via N Ireland. Last week's 257 "arrivals" will cost us €31m in processing costs. The British are tightening up the Common Travel Area after the Belfast beheading. What is FF justice minister Jim O'Callaghan doing on this side of the Border? Twiddling his thumbs???

The Hope and Courage collective NGO received €68k from the Dept. of Equality in just one year (link: shorturl.at/gu0sC). In 2024 they also received €14k from IHREC, a taxpayer-funded State agency (link: shorturl.at/WDY0G). None of their income came from donations.

Ireland's fate was sealed on the 26th June 2024 when our Politicians voted to opt into the EU Asylum and Migration Pact. There is now no magic wand to reverse this betrayal of the Irish people by their Public Representatives. There is no Protocol 21 opt out. Any Bill presented to the Oireachtas to withdraw is meaningless, as European law takes precedence over domestic legislation. The only way now is to leave the EU. Any Opposition Politician who tells you otherwise, is just giving false hope. Playing on the anxiety and desperation of many Irish people who are fearful about the future of our ancient land. This false hope is just another form of betrayal. As a consequence we are now in serious danger of moving into an era where (almost) no Politician will be trusted by the People. It is time now to consider a rejection of the current political system and to bring forward new proposals for Direct Democracy and People Power. This current political system no longer serves the interests of the Irish people. It is not only the Establishment that must be held to account but also each and every Opposition Politician. We can start Direct Democracy by the establishment of local community networks to take back power by holding all Public Representatives to account. Currently, we are all being played by Politicians. Power belongs in the hands of the People. There is a serious imbalance which must be restored. As we see through the empty theatrics of these political actors,we must demand ACTION. Start by putting pressure on local Councillors and TDs to apply for a full exemption under Article 62 of the EU Migration Pact AMMR (relocation quotas). Ireland is already under significant migratory pressure. Poland's Government applied for and got an exemption, but the Irish Government has so far failed to do so. The time for action is now. The power is in your hands.

He said he was angry because his social welfare application was declined. He arrived in Ireland around 2001 as an asylum seeker. 22 years later he went out and tried to slit the throats of three children after school. The children were 5 and 6 years old.
The trial of the Algerian-born man accused of stabbing three children outside a Dublin crèche has begun. The mother of a five year old victim has described her injuries:

Democracy is a fragile thing. Across the UK and Ireland, politicians are manning all the usual pumps this morning. Left wing politicians are speaking about racist rioters, 'conservatives' speaking about law and order. Others will make vague statements about people's right to live in peace. All falling back on tried and true soundbites. But few to none will tell the obvious truth - democracy is fragile and a business for serious and judicious people unafraid to take tough decisions for a longer-term good. Politicians (in Ireland and the UK) have not upheld their side of the democratic contract in terms of mass migration. In particular, politicians from parties of all stripes, left and (supposedly) centre and conservative (FF/G and Conservatives in the UK) have granted leave to stay to hundreds of thousands of unvetted fake asylum seekers in their respective countries and they have then rammed them into closeknit communities - without consultation with locals and without a veto for locals. This has pushed people's backs to the wall. Communities have, time and again ,said no to this but they have been met with deaf ears and accusations of racism. So when things go wrong - as they do with increasing, violent, frequency - such as a fake asylum seeker trying to saw the head off of a well-liked disabled local man - communities know there's no point turning to politicians for help. Democracy, based on common law, asks that people forego retribution with the promise of restitution by serious-minded and judicious people in the name of the state. In other words, people can give up clannish, sectarian or other collective units capable of doling out retribution because the state has promised to take on the burden of ensuring justice will be done. The problem is that for decades deeply unserious and non-judicious people have taken up roles in politics and judiciary. Activists with dangerous ideologies regarding open borders and the forced settlement of illegals in close knit communities have taken charge and told people - like it or lump it. That is authoritarian and a direct rejection of the state's responsibility to act both judiciously and to act in a manner that makes resort to retribution and clannishness necessary. Today, unserious politicians and their activist backers in the media and NGOs will slander, deflect, scapegoat and look to score points for the very actions that led to the riot in Belfast last night. Some 'conservatives' will speak in solemn tones to sound judicious but their words will ring hollow. Few will admit the root of the issue, democracy in Ireland and the UK has reached a crisis point that's been two decades at least in the making. When politicians act in an authoritarian fashion, leaving the people they supposedly represent with their backs firmly against the wall, all contractual agreements, all rational actions go out the window and people revert to their natural understanding of justice - clannish retribution. And that is the fault of the politicians. Any politician offering anything other than a mea culpa and a commitment to radical political change that acts in support of the people today is signalling their commitment to the further destruction of democracy and the state.

29th Jan last Virgin Media got c.€3m from the State owned Media Commission in a fabricated category of ONE payment. Biggest Ever. This followed c.1/4 million for ‘Disinformation Nation’ thats 75% of cost 18th March 2025. Follow the money, join the dots, this is DELIVERY
24 hours after footage of an African man trying to saw the head off his Scottish victim in a Belfast street circulated online, Irish politicians and journalists openly discuss on live TV how such videos can be suppressed, in future. We're going down a dark road. #TonightVMT

Yes, we're familiar with this expression in Ireland.
These expressions vary. The common adjective would be "quizzical". But it's an affected quizzical, because they're also smiling. At some level they get it, but they're going to pretend to be baffled and amazed by what you're saying. You might say they are pretending not to understand, and that is key to why this expression is so annoying and so characteristic of today's progressive.

My office has received an extraordinary volume of correspondence on the EU Migration & Asylum Pact. People are asking serious questions about democratic accountability, sovereignty and public consultation. I’ve heard those concerns. I’m seeking answers from Government on what Ireland has signed up to, what it will cost and what powers remain in Irish hands.
