Wtf is wrong with Boy George? Is it like a bold child, any attention is attention? He's now posting about a gig he's doing in Tel Aviv. The man has no shame. #FreePalestine #Speirgorm

This week has seen a worrying crackdown on LGBTQ+ community and journalists by Turkish authorities. We all have a duty to stand up for human rights in every corner of the world. Minister for Foreign Affairs must convey our Govt's concerns to Turkish Embassy. @patriciastephenson.bsky.social

The problem with these kinds of articles is that those of us who read them already know this. Those of us who need to read them never will and will accuse the media outlets of being a government shills. I can just imagine the comments on Facebook right now. #Speirgorm
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 7d agoFalse claims that the public is being “left in the dark” about rapes and sexual assaults due to the government creating new laws that enforce “media blackouts” have spread online. jrnl.ie/7164610

Yet again Irish artists have made us proud! We commend Beoga and Aaron Rowe for their principled stand in support of Macklemore and against the racist repression of solidarity with Palestine. Almost 2,500 Irish artists have signed our Pledge to boycott apartheid Israel ➡️ www.ipsc.ie/cultural-boy...
A bit less of the "ginger" comments would be nice. His red hair isn't what makes him a gowl. Signed A Ginger. #FreePalestine #Speirgorm
We'll let him in. We'll just give him a bad pint wherever he goes. That'll learn him. #Speirgorm
BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · last wk.I've heard a rumour that Ireland might ban Ed Sheeran from entry.
I'm amazed he hasn't weighed in with a lengthy statement of his own followed by a poem. Maybe he's reworking the lyrics of "Pride (In The Name of Love)" #Speirgorm
kelly@earley.bsky.social · last wk.somewhere, bono is on the phone to ed sheeran right now, comforting him and telling him he will always be irish
I've been harping on about Ed/Pink/Macklemore for the last week. My son had the temerity to ask me if I knew who Macklemore was before this happened. I'm not that old and out of touch...yet. #Speirgorm
Ed Sheeran has, completely unknowingly, elevated the #StopTheGame campaign. I’d say the players are wondering what to do.
Aaron Rowe and Beoga just stood on the fence and pulled out of Ed Sheeran's tour! ✊🇵🇸🇮🇪 #Speirgorm
Jennifer O'Meara@jenniferomeara5.bsky.social · last wk.It doesn't matter whether you're into his music or not - that's not the point today. The point is he's standing up when others are sitting down. In a world of Pinks and Eds be more like #Macklemore - don't sit on the fence or sling muck from the other side, STAND on it and be counted. #Speirgorm
Yeah, no this isn't on. Pink is absolutely not a suitable UNICEF Ambassador. Please sign and share this petition. #Speirgorm c.org/cpBCgtmPwR

Clare Pride is on! and is going to be magic. From the Sieze the Presses Print Workshop, to stand-up comedy from Breda Larkin Ireland's best Lesbian Joe Dolan Impersonator - there is something for all tastes. This is a totally grassroots festival, most events are free and we love it. Please share.
At the end of this video the woman speaking is Mary Lawlor, former UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders. I don't think RTE knew that. It was so great that she was there in Doonbeg.
TaraNicRóibín@tararoonies.bsky.social · 2w agoA big thanks to the people protesting THAT PIG in Doonbeg. As always Sarah Clancy able to get to the heart of the matter. Reminding us of the terrible attrocities prepatrated by the united states of terror on ordinary citizens. Both directly or indirectly.
I might have said one or two things at the end of this video. (I said a lot more but it was edited) Really delighted to stand with the soundest people in Doonbeg yesterday. #Speirgorm www.independent.ie/videos/prote...

Tonight in the pub someone criticised President Connolly's actions yesterday followed by, I kid you not, "I don't follow politics." He didn't know what she said to Trump or anything about the gifts she gave him. He still looks like a goldfish because I gave him chapter and verse. #Speirgorm
I'd have very serious reservations about the soi-disant great and good who accepted invitations to applaud the tangerine fart-made-flesh yesterday. One always suspected a lack of shame, but this confirms it.
Our Chairperson Zoë Lawlor, and colleagues from Shannonwatch and PANA, spoke to RTÉ News from Shannon Airport today where people joined thousands in Dublin and Doonbeg in protest at the visit of racist genocide partner Donald Trump to Ireland. He is not welcome here. #FreePalestine Video RTÉ News
The vain glorious prick has taken Air Force One on a lap of glory around Clare. He's flying his plane over Doonbeg before landing in Shannon. #Trump #Speirgorm
