I am deeply saddened by the news Siobhán O’Dowd died on Saturday. I had the immense privilege of knowing her over a long number of years. A dedicated LGBTQ activist and incredible community worker. To Tina, her family and close friends I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Rest in Power!

Why haven’t the rightwing media been reporting these ten abusers… or does the sexual abuse and exploitation of young girls only count if the perpetrators are non-Christian or non-white? Why aren’t #ElonMusk, #NigelFarage or #TommyRobinson or Their supporters shouting about this case? #SexualAbuse

Watching the coverage of the Signal App mess and potential breach of national security it would serve #Trump #PeteHegseth et al to remember… that what brought Nixon down wasn’t the crime, but the cover up of the crime. They are going out of their way to attack the journalise, hoping it distracts.

To paraphrase… “When Europe sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing greed. They’re bringing crime, lies, rapists, xenophobia, transphobia and misogyny
