The fear is caused by the complete lack of respect for British traditions and values
A woman in niqab isn’t hurting anyone… so what’s the fear really about?

This is who @NadiaWhittomeMP and @EmilyThornberry want in women's spaces alongside my daughter.
In at least 13 states and over 200 municipalities, after this man swims at a local pool, he can legally go into the female changing/shower room where your daughters are at .. The "left" is so progressive! 🤦

The capture of the Irish media by trans activists, as @paddyjogorman mentions, was an extraordinary success. No other social issue ever managed to receive such uniformly warm coverage - because the media was taking advice from the activists they should have been scrutinising.
Hey Hu.. I left RTÉ amicably in 2022. Since then I have been shocked, saddened and deeply puzzled by my old broadcast company’s decision to take the knee to politicians and lobbyist bullies over trans. The Live Line abdication on trans 4 years ago marked the turning point… /2

Man from outer space arrives and condemns local government
Tánaiste Simon Harris has launched a blistering attack on councils, accusing them of failing to treat the housing crisis as an emergency. He was speaking as he confirmed plans for a new derelict property tax aimed at boosting housing supply. #VMNews

How odd - it's been several days since the head of the Hope and Courage Collective made a verifiably false claim on live TV, saying "We're not [funded by the State] actually", when they are, yet there's been no sign of The Journal's fact check yet. Any day now I'm sure. 🤪
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.

This is where Ireland is. No Israeli embassy, men in women's prisons and now they're trying to problematise the tricolour.
"There were tricolours everywhere, how intimidating must that be" Shane Coleman is disgusted on behalf of foreigners at the sight of tricolours flying everywhere on Path to Power

When Belfast’s smouldering why are Sinn Fein picking on the unborn to divert attention from their lack of ability to govern. Abort seems to be their policy for the working class

Fantastic article by @Alan__Shatter 👇. Well worth reading
An excellent and detailed analysis of Ireland's PIGS boycott bill by @Alan__Shatter. This discriminatory bill has consumed an unprecedented amount of Irish parliamentary time (and indeed of the IIA) and been the subject of 8 long years controversy in Ireland. jpost.com/opinion/article-89…

Amazing all these trads who tell me Pope Leo is a demonic apostate. Please! Have you tried comparing his record so far with all the horrible things Francis did in his first year: the beginnings of the crackdown on the TLM, the sinister kitchen cabinet that was already hanging around Santa Marta, the insults to the Roman Curia, the crazy interviews subtly trashing traditional teaching? It’s like you guys are desperately looking for evidence of ‘heresy’ in his public pronouncements. Sure, you can find the odd line that, if you insist on interpreting it as ‘the mask slipping’, you can have fun with. But Leo’s addresses have been overwhelmingly Christ-centred and he’s been uncompromising in his defence of human life. His celebration of Mass exhibits a special reverence not displayed by Francis, who gave up saying it in public long before it could be justified by ill health. Of course there are things we might not like – the political stuff grates occasionally, but find me a pope who didn’t embrace a naive consensus on migration. And, finally, quite a few of Leo’s critics were notably slow to focus on Francis’s outrageous collusion in sex abuse scandals. So give us, and him, a break. Take a Xanax or something.
Pope Leo VIV is indeed emerging as a powerfully eloquent, Christ-centred pontiff whose beguiling charm appeals to hundreds of millions of people. And he has restored the dignity of the papal office. Bravo!

Must-read from Sam Harris in @australian on why he refuses to engage in most Israel debates: because too often they start from false assumption that Israel is the problem, while ignoring the ideology that glorifies October 7, martyrdom and the destruction of the Jewish state.

When Israeli Prime Minister 'Iron Lady' Golda Meir met Pope Paul VI on 15 January 1973, he criticized the state of Israel. In response, PM Golda said: "Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers."

It turns out that high demand for divestment of Catholic schools is confined mainly to certain urban, middle class areas. (My piece in this week's @IrishCathNews).
