That would never do, would it. Not hard to guess where the complaints came from.

These views of Cork's inner harbour, pictured in the late 1990s, look so very different when compared to today #ireland

Standing on the Savoy steps in 1962, watching the world go by. Showing at the time were 'Stop Look and Laugh', a 1960 feature-length Three Stooges compilation and Gorgo, a 1961 British science fiction monster film #Cork #Ireland

Omey Island, on the western edge of Connemara in County Galway, Ireland, pictured in the mid-1980s. At low tide it's possible to drive or walk across a large sandy strand to the island but at high tide the water is deep enough to cover a car #ireland

Never knew I had such an illustrious namesake .. Potai’na (Flying Chief), also known as Joseph Healy, was orphaned at a young age when his parents were killed at their camp in Montana. Joe was adopted by John Healy and his wife Mary Francis who gave him the name Joseph.

Got around to watching the TG4 documentary 'George Best i gCorcaigh' tonight. My photo of Turner's Cross in 1983, was used in the film. No sign of it being credited. By now that doesn't really surprise me .. I won't lose any sleep over it 😏 #Cork #Ireland

MURDERS on camera @Keir_Starmer supports and enables this GENOCIDE
A clearer video show Israeli soldiers shooting two young Palestinian men at point-blank range after they surrendered near the Jenin refugee camp, following a military raid in the northern occupied West Bank. No official information issued so far about their condition.

When it comes to Israel, the BBC is too frightened to accurately report the news – even when we can all see what happened with our own eyes. Israeli soldiers were caught on CCTV executing two Palestinian men in the West Bank, shooting them in the back after they had surrendered and their arms were in the air. Israel's Haaretz newspaper straightforwardly reports the Israeli army "fatally shooting" the pair "after they had surrendered". The BBC, by contrast, dares not report what we can all see for ourselves. Its reporter says instead that the Palestinian men "appear to be surrendering" and that "the Israeli soldiers appear to open fire and shoot them dead at point-blank range". "Appear" used twice – for no reason other than to cast doubt on what is self-evident. Israel's national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has lauded the soldiers for killing the two men. No matter – the BBC is so desperate not to upset Israel it reflexively throws doubt on its crimes, even when Israel itself isn't denying what took place.
