Those who claim to be fighting to “save civilisation”, as the Nazis claimed, will destroy it. This was the Holocaust. And no one who understands what civilisation is talks of “saving” it (nor wields chainsaws, throws Nazi salutes, praises mass murderers, denies science, steals, lies and rapes).

Yesterday a fucker responded to my post about this article saying no one gives a shit about my "28 pgs of crap" & that I'd best "be quiet" about the subject. So I will now RT this every hour for a day. U can help me stick it to him by reading my piece instead of just RT. I wrote to be accessible.

My latest article, “A Common Law Power to Dissect: A Medico-Legal History,” is published in the Medical Law Review. I argue that some jurists claimed that dissection was lawful independent of statute. Such a power preceded and was parallel to the Anatomy Act 1832. academic.oup.com/medlaw/artic...

Signing this means giving up our right to criticize Israel without being labeled antisemitic. FF went from promising to sign the Occupied Territories Bill to backing out & now they’re signing this instead. It’s an absolute betrayal of Irish values. Shame on any politician supporting this. #SpeirGorm
