The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

That's the langball alright. I wouldn't bother naming him though, he feeds on the publicity. They're all about the yap yap yap to make money. Scarlet for people living their life through a camera trying to justify their sad existence.

Just checkin. She cuts a fairly different figure sat beside him than behind the desk anyway.

This craic in Newtownmountkennedy at the minute is basically what I was saying would happen about a year ago. And it was avoidable and yet the government refused to avoid it. I don't support it at all, just pointing out that it was inevitable. Also the reaction of the guards (what are they supposed to do? I get that) will be used to further fuel the fire, if you'll excuse the pun.

I wonder what happened to the proposed centre in D4 actually? Some locals had raised concerns over fire safety at that one too, but I never heard about it since.

Ah shite, too late; I'm just after signing up with Clown Éireann, don't want to get involved in a faction war.

For some reason the People's Front of Judea springs to mind

Ah here, too funny: just catching up on last night's Have I Got News For You while having lunch here and they've played the clip of Barrett going on about appointing Reynolds "precisely because" he's so stupid he would be completely malleable

A more peaceful march yesterday by "concerned locals" in Newtownmountkennedy. Albeit "concerned locals" marching behind a banner emblazoned with almost the same word-for-word great replacement theory far right slogans seen all across Europe in recent years: "IRELAND IS OUR HOMELAND - WE WILL NOT BE REPLACED - NO PLANTATION - SEND THEM BACK."

It's quite striking how attached they are, as a movement, to both blatantly xenophobic slogans and arson/property damage, despite these two things being what gets them instantly disqualified by the majority of Irish as far right "nuts" and delinquents, respectively. Presuming there's a lot more Irish who want or are sympathetic to increased control over immigration, you'd think they'd put some thought into toning down the elements that mean most wouldn't want to be seen to be associated with them. Because their schtick just is so plainly identifiable with what most recognize as a far right playbook.

Edit: They're out again today, same banner:

I wonder how things got to the point where lads will walk behind a banner like that? I wonder what put the whole plantation shtick into lads minds at all?

It'll get worse yet, too

Both sides stir each other to new levels of mongolism.

Just absolute world champions at unwittingly discrediting themselves.

Tbh I dunno if it's tongue in cheek or real but I'm getting a good laugh thinking about the likes of the NP doing things like this
