This weekend, as has become completely normal over the space of the past few months, the players of Millwall and Derby County, prior to kickoff in their Sky Bet Championship game, took a knee in the middle of the field, to protest racism. And the crowd, of just 2,000 supporters, booed them. The sporting media, […]
There is, in Ireland, a law against stealing cars. If you steal someone’s car, you are liable to be arrested, prosecuted, and, if convicted, either fined or sent to prison.

Coronavirus running wild, economy sputtering to a halt, no-deal Brexit coming down the tracks, and, at last count, six thousand and seventy-seven homeless people in the country.

There has, naturally, been quite a bit of chatter in recent days about the despicable, racist attack carried out by a gang of Dublin gurriers on an innocent east Asian woman last week. If you haven’t seen it, here it is. In this case, there is no doubt whatever that racism was a primary factor […]

Arrested on suspicion of murder, rape, and robbery the night before, Schipp and Smith were taken from their jail cells by an angry, all-white mob, […]
It seems like RTE has gone all 1968 on our ass. Not only have they guilt-bombed us now for months over our white supremacy and slavery associations, but now it seems the national broadcaster thinks that abolishing the police is something they should give a “platform” to. On Tuesday, the national broadcaster posted a piece […]
The actor and activist John Connors has become the target of racism and threats of cancellation after he spoke out on parents’ concerns regarding the Peter Tatchell controversy. Mr Connors is due to speak at a ‘Hands off our Kids’ rally at the Dáil at 2pm today. The Cardboard Gangster star and award-winning actor and […]
White ladies: I hope you’re ready to repent for ever having ever worn fake-tan, for it is surely a subtle micro-aggression to appropriate that which is not yours (dark skin).
Cambridge University has defended a professor’s right to free speech after a petition called for her to be sacked for sending a tweet which said “White lives don’t matter.” The tweet was subsequently deleted by Twitter for breaching it’s hateful conduct policy, but the academic has said she stands over her statement and that we need to “abolish […]
