Julie Bindel in 2026 eulogising Rod Liddle, who had a police caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfiend, and Julie Bindel in 2022 saying it's her "duty as a feminist" to point out when a prominent man who died was a domestic abuser. "Gender criticism" rots out any moral core you ever possessed...
-Punched his pregnant girlfriend. -Said he would rape the kids if he was a schoolteacher. -Said chiild sex abuse porn should be legal. Allison Pearson in the Telegraph...
They want to start a civil war. They're the protagonists.

Another great afternoon/evening at the fleadh. very impressed with the organisation, the facilities, the rediscovered, very 'Belfast Industrial' venues, the vibe, the people and of course, the music!
The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4
And 25% of voters would put these ridiculous moneyed fools in charge of the govt and treasury, would they? How many investigations into Reform’s dodgy finances are there now? I’ve lost count. And no, it’s not an ‘establishment’ plot. It’s just what happens when corruption/incompetence meets scrutiny
Paul Brand@paulbrand.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage). Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.
I hope there'll be a show worthy of a title like "The Flaedh Unscheduled" showing the unplanned sessions and activities in the streets and pubs.
Everything is shit at the moment, so lets try and cheers things up a bit... post your TV/Film crush from your younger years. Barbara Streisand in Whats Up Doc (it was a support movie). Hadn't a clue who she was.

"...left an indelible mark on British journalism" She must mean in the same way a fresh shite would on a red velvet sofa.
Amazing to see the usual TERFs wailing & pearl clutching over Rod Liddle’s demise. The same TERFs who claim they’re protecting women & girls from evil trans people are the same TERFs sobbing over the death of a man who beat his pregnant girlfriend & who wanted to shag children.
The GCs are uniting in their grief over Rod Liddle's death, a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend and said he couldn't be a teacher because he'd rape the kids. He was also a vicious racist, long before it was so profitable. He hated trans people, so, to these 'feminists' he's a hero.
So let me get this straight - in the eyes of gender critical activists, a trans woman using a toilet/changing room, like we do in every liberal democracy in the industrialised world are irredeemable predators, but an (alleged) domestic abuser who is also homophobic and misogynistic is somehow ok?

And if you are visiting Belfast for the Fleadh be sure to go and see the Assembly Building, now recovered from evil developers. belfastmedia.com/remedial-con... /1
Conservation and public realm works at Assembly Rooms in time for Fleadh
PROGRESS is being made on Belfast’s historic Assembly Rooms, with a programme of remedial conservation, public realm improvements, and future planning now underway.

#r4today has this on a loop too. “Sorry Reform, we won’t be running with your latest desperate attention-seeking nonsense until after the by-election Farage has with the bin, and the investigations into your financial affairs are complete. Bye.” Just why the hell don’t they all do this?
So been in Belfast two hours now. Kinda expecting to hear a bit of Irish music pouring into the streets from various pubs and venues. Not really happening. A bit too much piped music or local electrified bands playing Springsteen or whatever. I hope there's a trad takeover soon. Caveat - I'm
First pint in Peggy Barclay's aka The Ben Franklin. A pity it's in a plastic glass but I guess with the Fleadh...
There was a minor skirmish between Fleadh and VAT return. I am here to inform you that Fleadh has won.
If you see someone online ignorantly claiming that entry into Ceuta entails entry into mainland Spain/the Schengen area, here's the text proving otherwise. (Plus almost everyone who entered Ceuta returned within a day)

From platforming based & bougie on LBC to give her a higher platform to yell her hate from to “just asking questions” about Covid and working with “I stopped gender care” Maitliss can we please recognise that the news agents/ its hosts are all the exact media ecosystem they pretend to examine.
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 5d agoThere are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?
It would seem Lewis has jumped down the rabbit hole with an extra large bottle of kool aid. The various threads involving him today are very disappointing to say the least.

Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 5d agoWell, they're on their way back to Morocco actually, as they never had any way to reach mainland Spain, let alone the UK, but who needs facts when you're Bobby J the King of Bullshit.
Northern Ireland MLA's please see the Roads (Northern Ireland) Order 1993
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
I have this real concern that Belfast might run out of beer this week.
The megaphone given to an extreme-right framing of this incident by supposedly centrist politicians is a gift to their harder right political competitors
