What has happened to women?
So liberal women are posting videos shouting "Abortion is back." They love killing human beings. What a sad world we live in.

Is @PMaryMcAleese one of the most depressing women on the planet. Here she is spreading her bitterness, interfering where she shouldn't. A Yes woman to the left, to secular Europe. How the pious fall!
Mary McAleese says baptising a baby is a breach of human rights because the child can't consent. With respect, that's wrong. Parents make decisions for their children every single day. What school they go to. What values they're raised with. What they eat, what they wear, who minds them. A baby can't consent to any of it. That's what being a parent is. Faith is no different. If parents want to have their child christened, that's their call. If they'd rather not bring their child into any religion, that's their call too. It's a decision for the family, and nobody else. Every child grows up and makes up their own mind. Plenty do. Families in this country have enough to be worrying about without being told that bringing their child to be christened is a human rights abuse. Leave parents alone. Let them raise their children as they see fit.

Or the irish flag. It's contageous and outrageous.
A British government minister should be fired immediately for saying this It means that most of us cannot trust the government any more

What has happened to free speech in Ireland?
I'm on a plane to Ireland tonight. Tomorrow a man goes on trial for a tweet. I'm writing this from the airport. In a few hours I'll be in the air, and tomorrow morning I'll be sitting in the public gallery of Bray District Court, south of Dublin, for the trial of Kirk Loco. You may remember Kirk. He's an ordinary Irishman. Two years ago someone in that group posted a warning: a migrant man had exposed himself on a public bus, in front of a 14-year-old girl. The bus driver stopped the bus. There were half a dozen witnesses. It was on CCTV. Kirk did what any of us would do. He reposted the warning so other parents would know. The migrant wasn't charged. Kirk was. The Irish police charged him under a so-called "fake news" law, Section 12A of the Criminal Justice Act, 1976. It was passed during the Troubles to fight terrorist propaganda. It had never been used against anyone, in fifty years, until they used it on Kirk. He is the first and only person in Irish history to be prosecuted under it. They picked him because of his politics: he's a critic of mass immigration. They are making an example of him. Here's what has happened since. Kirk has been dragged into that courtroom in Bray again and again, almost ten times, for a single retweet. Each time he takes a day off, each time his lawyers prepare, each time the Gardaí (that's what the Irish call their police) turn up and the thing gets put off again. I've flown over for one of those hearings myself. In May the judge lifted an outrageous bail condition that had banned Kirk from attending any protest, anywhere in Ireland. That was a real win. But the same judge refused to order the police to hand over the bus CCTV or the names of the witnesses. The people who saw what happened on that bus could clear him in five minutes, and the state won't tell his lawyers who they are. Kirk said it best himself: "I just can't believe that I'm eight court appearances in for a retweet." That was in May. There have been more since. The process is the punishment. Even if Kirk wins tomorrow, he's already been punished for two years: the stress, the lost days, the cloud over his name, the ban on protesting. That's the point. It's not really about convicting Kirk. It's about making sure every other Irish person who sees something on a bus thinks twice before saying a word. Tomorrow is finally the trial itself. A full day. Kirk's barrister, Laoise de Brún, and his solicitor, Padraig Langsch, will fight it in open court. They are principled lawyers who refused to do what Irish legal aid lawyers do, which is tell you to plead guilty, pay the fine and go home. Kirk won't plead guilty to telling the truth. And then I'm staying on. Because four days later, on Tuesday, the same two lawyers are back in court in Wexford, for Hugh Fagan. Hugh is the man I wrote to you about this week: he sits quietly on a bench in his town square with homemade signs, wearing headphones, and for that he's charged with a public order offence. Same country, same pattern, same week. One man for a tweet, one man for cardboard. I'm going alone this time, no videographer, economy flight, cheap hotel, to keep the costs down. I'll live-tweet from inside both courtrooms (I'll be the only journalist there; RTÉ never shows up) and I'll film my own reports outside on the courthouse steps and send them to you the same day. Ireland's "fake news" law had never been used on anyone until Kirk Loco. If they get a conviction, it becomes the template. That's why this one trial matters far beyond one man. Kirk's trial is Friday, October 23 in Bray. Hugh Fagan's is Tuesday, October 27 in Wexford. One trip, two trials. REPORT by @ezralevant:

Like all the irish idiots who are in denial that there is going to be a problem with this.
But I voted for open borders, Ahmad! Why did you destroy my parents' store and aggress me?

Ireland in a few years.
This is uncomfortable viewing for me. Takes me back to when I was attacked by a mob of some 200 men in Tahrir Square in Cairo, when I was reporting for 60 Minutes and I was gang-raped, sodomized & beaten. Mob violence is a call to the worst of humanity because it is cover for cowards.

Ireland, you're next @MichealMartinTD
I am old enough to remember a time when we did not need public signs asking people not to shit in the park or on the streets. How far the UK has fallen!

Intimidation from the left. What will happen if they do play, their heads will be chopped off? Pathetic bullying. @liamcunningham1
I’m not sure how else this can be read other than a threat towards Irish footballers that if they play against Israel they will face the same public abuse and ostracisation that Ed Sheeran has faced. This type of intimidation is wholly against the principles of a democracy.

Revolting.
Shamefully, this is what the Irish Presidency is reduced to.

I'm sure the "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" is what Chucky Spencer tells every new wife about the old wife after every divorce he's been through!! W⚓️

Utterly disgraceful, rigged election, bullied by the left.
As a Barrister, if Catherine Connelly had any scruples she would have refused to allow herself be used in a sham election, in which she knew that another female candidate, Maria Steen, also a Barrister, was politically blocked from receiving a nomination, to contest the election.

Of course it should. Islam is intolerant of other religions and we shouldn't put christianity and christian values at risk.
🎯 I Agree... It's Time To Start A New Tradition‼️

The liberal left is pure evil.
Why do liberals like murdering babies?

It's on the way.
Historian Bill Federer: "By 2030, there will be a majority Islamic population in Europe, and they will just flat out vote for Sharia law. People forget Egypt was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It is not anymore. Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it was turned into a mosque. They want to do the same thing with the Vatican." Pay attention to what he is saying!
