The Irish

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

xp I resent that as a former blackrock resident (for a year)

i think it's about seals honking

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 know

It’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.

funny how that clip ends with a snippet of the cranberries

Not great is it

not great

been simmering a while

my mates wife followed home by a prominent far right activist in recent months and gardai action v limited

look i know its not in site character to request a baton charge but

lol. Mutual of mine on Twitter doxxed by fascists the other day. It’s quite a thing to see stuff like this and think, hmm maybe I don’t really know how safe things will be moving home 🤙🏻 feels great

it is tbh a v limited set pf action ito of proximity and occurrence

i think we'll wait to see how justice apparatus reacts to this first

i think covid was a marked lapse in how the state reacted to this shittier gurrier et al element

I don’t know that it is, they’ve been banging on the door an awful long time now

well there's the rise of yer anti-immigrant loopers but there's also the general bleak, hopeless vibes that have permeated the city since covid

im not _that_ sure tbf

I'm in temple bar was thinking to go out shortly and have a look

I suspect it will have none of the carnivalesque atmosphere of London 2011

Can't even begin to imagine how annoying liveline will be tomorrow

why would the coincidental colocation of a half tan be the important q' here?

I literally don't know what either of you mean

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.

God.

I lived in Temple Bar myself - it wasn't a fun few weeks and that was without all of this shite - hope you're doing okay, Plax

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

I’m sure Hermann and his gang of cunts will be left untouched while they round up the people doing the actual wrecking

second captains dropped haven't checked if open to all

The soundproofing in my building is very good.

I went to look at the charred wreckage this morning with all the other rubberneckers. While the columnists and junior ministers will be bleating today, as with the anti-trans stuff there is a layer of civil society people that will have to put up with and manage this stuff and I felt bad for the council workers, service staff, teachers in the area that have to put up with this and get little help or sympathy. I'm skeptical that this event will prompt any genuine rethink among the great and good.

I mean yeah I was on RTE all morning & all it was about was the value of the property damage
