For those of you who are still willingly sweeping allegations made against Kneecap under the carpet, you should take the time to watch the following video: www.instagram.com/reel/DUBw00P... and when you’re done with that, you should read these statements: www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2...
“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!
This is not unique to Trump. This is what the US has always done. Razes whole countries to the ground and leaves.
If you'd told me after the first episode that Alan would be the last traitor standing... #CelebrityTraitors
"Ted, d'ya remember that man who was SO brave, his wife had to divorce him"
The Tánaiste congratulating the new Uachtarán with a Nickelback song has sent me into orbit
If it had to be someone I'm glad it was Ruben Neves. Such a beautiful tribute to Diogo 🥺 #PORIRL
A woman was standing on the upper deck of my bus drinking a can of Red Bull and ignored two requests from the driver over the tannoy to come downstairs (standing is not permitted upstairs). The third time he said "Red Bull gives you wings so fly on downstairs" 😂
Jim Gavin trying to explain that difficult circumstances led him to do something out of character might have landed better if he wasn't participating in an effort to stigmatise a reformed convict for political gain.
fun how jk rowling going full scorched earth attack at emma watson was triggered not by watson attacking her, but by her giving some feeble wishy-washy statement about still loving her despite their disagreements
The idea that Emma Watson, who had paparazzi lie on the ground trying to take photos up her skirt within moments of her turning 18, has never had to worry about sexual violence is an absolute joke.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
That wouldn't have happened if Paudie was still there #TraitorsIRL
Introducing the Charlie Kirk Remembrance Act, which makes it a felony to quote anything Charlie Kirk actually said when he was alive.
every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer
he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest
Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
