Going through the longer video I recorded: Can someone explain to me what the Peaky Blinders is going on here?
The “protect our women and children” crowd seem awfully silent about the fact that the former head of the main unionist party is a literal paedophile rapist But hey he ain’t black or brown so it doesn’t count
Love the contrast between the two stories And better than Christmas? You’re telling me this can get worse?
Dozens of bands, mostly drums and flutes, often too close to one another to differentiate them so it all sounds like noise. I mean I guess that’s marching bands in general (I’m not an expert in marchingbandology) but I can’t believe they spend all year practicing for this To each their own I guess
I’m at Belfast’s Orange march. What do I tell y’all? Ppl getting wasted, babies and dogs put near huge drums, and a good chunk of the city avoiding this yearly hatefest dominated by what I can only describe as like if the bands of Mordor had no rhythm
I’m at the Titanic museum. How tf did I not know that there were that many Lebanese and Syrian families on board? I’m in front of the wall of names of survivors and dead and I recognised so many names, including an Ayoub (spelled Ayyub)
As a general rule, if Ben Gvir, a literal fascist supremacist who openly boasts about his genocidal politics, likes you, you’re a horrible human being May Israel lose more of its “greatest friends”
Yes that’s what the infamously bigoted woman who spent decades going after queer people and foreigners was known for. Top quality reporting
These are most of the books I got in Belfast (Yeah yeah “the Hauntologies guy finds two books with Ghost in the title” yeah yeah we get it)
The size of the pyres. There’s no way any of this is safe. www.instagram.com/reel/Daojvg0...
Hey did you know that Northern Ireland is in the UK? Because it’s so subtle I can’t tell
Lebanese drama therapist and film director Zeina Daccache on why so many residents in Lebanon have mental health difficulties www.instagram.com/reel/DaDf-qs...
I giggled because I’m immature af (‘Eire’ sounds like how we’d say penis in Arabic)
They burned it. They did it early to avoid being stopped. And note that the police arrived, ‘were goaded’, and then left. Last year they burned a replica of a boat full of refugees. Now they burned a replica mosque. Calls for mass murder, out in the open.
Also did you know that they like the British monarchy? They’re very subtle about it
And then this idiotic crap. Which one is it lads? Pro-US revolution or pro-UK monarchy? Y’all know who the enemy was in 1776? How can anyone be this thick
So utterly deranged to see Israel flags all over loyalist areas of Belfast How many settler colonies y’all having fantasies about at the same time? Multitasking is a myth pick one Also more dumbassery in the thread below
