JASON OSBORNE: The Southern Poverty Law Center has flung around the labels "hate" and "extremist" so liberally that it didn't take these latest allegations to raise concern about its judgement. gript.ie/splcs-divisive…

@FrankConway2025 You can dilute the population by importing the Third World, but who's going to pay for it? Most of these people will cost Europe for their whole lives. We're already at a point where it's unsustainable.

How can Pedro Sanchez of Spain do this to his own people? Barcelona has deployed its Urban Guard to escort the newly arrived immigrants who are being promised citizenship. This is not only a Spanish problem, this becomes a problem for the rest of Europe, including Ireland. The EU and the European Commission wants this to happen. The Irish government wants this to happen. When the next economic crisis happens, which of course will be manufactured to create chaos, we will witness our own people leaving to find work elsewhere and we’ll be left with these immigrants. The goal is to diversify Europe. To create a multicultural Europe. To remove any sense of nationalism and sovereignty. Why? To dilute the native populations for ease of control. x.com/Anonymous_TA/s…

For those asking about "Irish citizen" Khalid Ahmed (24) who has been charged in London with firearms offences after he was arrested under terrorism laws, allegedly smuggling 10 small arms and ammo into England, there is no mainstream media coverage of yesterday's scheduled appearance (the date was given in news reports three weeks ago, and it was also in the daily Old Bailey diary). There are a few possibilities over the lack of coverage. This case may be continuing as an ordinary criminal case, and yesterday's hearing just dealt with minor administrative matters and wasn't newsworthy. The hearing yesterday may have been cancelled And this is least likely but still possible, British authorities have issued D-notices to the media not to report the matter, because of potential threats to national security. We will keep a look-out on the daily Old Bailey lists to keep track of this case. Meanwhile, there's no pic of Ahmed, no detail of where he lived in Ireland, or indeed when he was given citizenship, no absolute confirmation he is Muslim, or what mosque he attended (if any). The lack of curiosity is .... predictable.

"Irish citizen" Khalid Ahmed in Old Bailey court in London at 12 noon today when we may hear more about allegations he was smuggling guns and ammunition from France into England. He was originally arrested and detained under terrorism laws.

This farce where Europe takes in the Third World has to end. Why use scarce taxpayers' money funding a life on welfare for anyone with the means to get to Europe, when far more people could be helped closer to their homes? This is surely immoral. thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

✍️ 'The Government hasn’t realised it yet, but it’s about to get itself into the most stupendously embarrassing tangle,' writes Michael Deacon 'On high streets throughout Britain, special cameras mounted on vans will scan the faces of pedestrians, and alert the police each time they identify a wanted man or woman. 'I suspect that you can already spot the tiny potential flaw in this scheme. But since ministers apparently can’t, let’s be helpful, and spell it out for them.' ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/2…

Yet another Christian street preacher has been arrested for criticising Islam. Steve Maile — a 66-year-old Christian pastor and singer — was arrested in Watford after criticising Islam and questioning whether it is a religion of peace. Three Hertfordshire police officers arrested Mr Maile on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour. Mr Maile has been a pastor for 45 years and has preached in more than 50 countries. He also has no previous criminal record. Speaking about his arrest, Mr Maile said: ’One moment I was preaching the gospel, the next I was surrounded and in cuffs. I knew immediately this was wrong. ‘Within seconds, they converged on me, boom, the cuffs were on. Pain. Cuffs on for an hour and half. I was so shocked, everyone was frozen with fear. I was not afraid. Is this a film, is this reality? I knew it was illegal with righteous anger.’ Christian street preachers are increasingly being subjected to heavy-handed policing and a misapplication of public order legislation. Parliament voted to abolish blasphemy laws in 2008, yet this Government’s new official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” has already been used to silence legitimate criticism and debate about Islam. It is a de facto Islamic blasphemy law. Read more below 👇

In the same week that Senator Eileen Flynn has been in the headlines for the "worst online abuse and hate" and Senator Martin Conway has called for Ireland to "find a solution" to online "hate speech and misinformation" it has been announced that the EU is "working with gardaí to tackle online 'political abuse' as Ireland’s presidency of the EU Council draws closer". All part of the plan by Ireland to be a testing ground in Europe to link Digital ID to social media access, to restrict online free speech under the guise of safeguarding children and now, the latest one, to protect politicians from online 'poltical abuse'. Let us remember that Simon Harris, Tanaiste, already announced in December 2025 that the government intended to use Ireland's presidency of the EU Council as a vehicle to drive forward their plan to link Digital ID to social media access. This is all about coercive tactics to get mandatory Digital ID through the back door by linking it to social media access. They know if they get this over the line the vast majority will comply if they are frozen out of their social media accounts. This is why ot must be stopped in its tracks. Be part of the grassroots campaign to RESIST Digital ID. #NoDigitalID

Half of all workers in Ireland are in the position that the government takes more than they do of every extra euro they make/earn. This has been going on for 18 long years. Taxes are inevitable. Exploitative taxation is not. Made the case for tax cuts on radio yesterday - approx 2.30 hours in. goloudplayer.com/episodes/the-c…

The BBC broadcast the lie that Israel was deliberately starving children in Gaza. It produced documentaries narrated by the children of Hamas officials. It has helped fuel the very anti-Semitism its latest Panorama claims to understand, says Josh Howie buff.ly/zZLBWxy

Europe is fast becoming a friend to no one.

🚨PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI JUST WENT FULL NUCLEAR ON THE ENTIRE EU PRESS & PARLIAMENT! 🔥🧨 I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe. In the past two weeks I held TWO MAJOR press conferences — one in Stockholm, one in Berlin. Over 150 JOURNALISTS showed up. We spent MORE THAN TWO HOURS with them… And guess what? NOT ONE SINGLE of those 150 journalists asked about the 40,000 IRANIANS SLAUGHTERED on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th! NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners EXECUTED in the last two weeks. When I told them 20 more are currently sentenced to death — CRICKETS. Not a damn question. I stood right next to a grieving mother and father who lost their sons in that massacre and begged them to listen to their stories… NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 150 journalists asked them a thing. Let that sink in. My 40,000 BRAVE INNOCENT COMPATRIOTS who were butchered fighting for liberty? They don’t give a damn. They are too busy criticizing America and Israel for taking out the dictator who’s been slaughtering our people for 47 YEARS — instead of going after the regime that’s actually doing the killing! They’d rather dig up Iran’s history than talk about what’s happening RIGHT NOW or the free democratic Iran we’re fighting for. One EU parliament member even had the nerve to say Iranians aren’t ready for democracy. To that coward and to every fake journalist in the room I say this: Iranians aren’t just “ready” for democracy… 40,000 of them just DIED for it! And I will NOT let their blood be in vain. SO HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR: Whether Europe stands with us or not… Whether your journalists do their damn jobs or not… Whether your politicians grow a spine or not… I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY. Even if we have to do this ALONE — we are fighting until IRAN IS FREE! 🇮🇷💪 #RezaPahlavi‌ForIran @PahlaviReza

@DKellyDerry @IrishCathNews Oh, the old 'Everyone who disagrees with me is a racist', trope is wheeled out yet again. If you have to resort to ad hominem attacks, then you know you've lost the argument.
