I missed the Zombie thing because I despise rugby, but presume it's bad because it's another band with no lived experience of The Troubles expressing similar unhelpful bulshit to what the grandstanding moron Bongo frequently did on stage.

popular in blackrock
Iirc it was about the both sidesing of the Troubles when the lyrics literally reference the tanks of the British army, as though the two were equivalently resourced and supported institutionally…but plax might remember better

But yeah I guess I’m referring to partitionist thinking. I’m not sure I ever saw the “glorious” 7th & its effects on Irish in the north portrayed in something mainstream until Derry Girls did it. Like hey, the Irish in the north literally flee the place to avoid the supremacism, you’d think that might be a conversation point at some stage?!

Glorious 12th. I don’t know why I said 7th, except my cat bunted my phone as he wants to sit on my lap but I have coffee.
I don’t know how foreign viewers saw it but obviously if you know, you knowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7meZZeYlloIt’s just the fellas that burn our flag and posters of politicians, nbd nbd nbd

I've never had any idea what Zombie, mainly because I've never been able to listen to more than three seconds of it, so I didn't realize it mentioned 1916.

The soundproofing in this flat is excellent.
Still hear sirens and helicopters everywhere. It took about five minutes after they got chased down Dame st for herds of tourists to reappear.

My little cousin has just moved to Dublin (from Pune/India), got a job and living in a shared house. Must be awful seeing this shit.
Not directly in touch, sure she is fine but I will check in anyway.

34 arrests and 32 in court this morning
I've been wrong before in saying "surely the gardai have a plan and are closing the loop on these guys"- I've been saying that since gemma/john during lockdown and at every fringe event since
But one can hope this leads to a necessary escalation
