@GusLogie1971 @s_boudicca Destroying women’s rights one blue hair dye at a time. 🤦‍♀️

1.7M people have viewed this tweet, almost the same as the entire population of Northern Ireland (1.9M people) & to date 228 people have liked it. This is now a ratio for the ages. Surely some soul searching now occurring for making NI journalism into a laughing stock globally?

@ahsanforbritain @Iromg No, because something happening “across the pond” is nothing to do with the Met Police. It’s that simple 🤷‍♀️

@Iromg You would have kept your shit smelling mouth shut if he was referring to a Synagogue shooting across the pond, wouldn’t you?

What’s it got to do with you?

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is looking like straight-up liberal woke trash. They’re using Emily Wilson’s 2017 translation that dumbs down the language, pushes female characters and power dynamics instead of masculinity, and turns Odysseus into a less heroic, morally “complicated” weakling. Casting is a total disaster: Elliot Page as Achilles’ ghost (from Brad Pitt to a tranny — what a downgrade), Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy (race-swapped, zero “face that launched a thousand ships”), Zendaya as Athena, and Travis Scott as the bard doing rap-style poetry in the movie.

TIME’s new cover: ‘The Odyssey’ is arguably the biggest film of Christopher Nolan’s career. It may also be the summer blockbuster the entertainment industry needs right now time.com/article/2026/0…

Here’s something I really think needs to be pointed out about the controversy surrounding Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. The reason for the backlash goes much deeper than people just being angry about the “woke” casting. The real issue is that Nolan has built such an incredibly strong reputation that he is in a position where he could genuinely do almost anything he wanted creatively. Even if studios pushed back, he has enough influence to secure funding elsewhere or even invest his own money into the project. What he could have done, and in my opinion should have done, was first and foremost hire a significant number of Greek actors, especially actors who are well known within Greece rather than mainstream Hollywood. That alone would have added a huge layer of authenticity to the film. Of course, you can still have some Hollywood A listers involved, but not to the point where they completely overshadow the core cast and identity of the movie. Then there’s the most obvious point of all. Helen of Troy would not have been black, nor would a Greek goddess. That is not racism. It is simply historical and cultural accuracy. And yes, the same logic applies in reverse. It would be equally ridiculous to cast white actors as mythical African characters. That should go without saying. Another strange decision is the language and dialogue style Nolan appears to be using. He has opted for modern American English, and it just sounds bizarre in this kind of setting. For decades, historical epics tended to use a more classical style of British English, sometimes mixed with foreign accents depending on the character. No, that was not the literal language spoken in ancient Greece or Rome, but it helped create the feeling of an older and more noble form of communication that suited the world being portrayed. For some reason, many directors in recent years have abandoned that approach entirely and replaced it with completely modern American speech patterns, seemingly because English was never the original language anyway, so now nothing matters. I think that’s the wrong approach, and Nolan is far from the only one guilty of it. Hearing Napoleon speak with a modern American accent in Ridley Scott’s film also felt incredibly jarring. What’s especially interesting about all of this is that we are now entering a time where AI is becoming so advanced that some kid sitting in his bedroom could eventually create a full length historical epic without capitulating to modern Hollywood trends or making the same mistakes directors like Nolan are making. And that film could potentially end up being more widely accepted and celebrated than what major studios are producing. I think that’s the bigger lesson people like Nolan may eventually have to learn.

@PhilipDoherty33 @Keir_Starmer Lol, the politicians in Ireland have sold Ireland down the swanny. You’re not Irish anymore you’re European and any other foreigner. Not Irish.

@Keir_Starmer I agree, Keir. I think sometimes people do not understand you inherited a flawed system. And you have a difficult job. I know most of the politicians in Ireland (North and South) agree you've tried hard to restore trust between our Isles. Thank you, Keir. P. Doherty

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister I don’t this Israel is the problem here 🤔

@hfereid @toadmeister Unlike you I can condemn the barbarism carried out by both sides. But this problem didn't start on October 7th. Israel has been carrying out atrocities against the Palestinians long before Hamas were founded aided and abetted by the US and the west.

Graham Linehan, the co-creator of Father Ted, has accused Ireland's state broadcaster of antisemitism because of its decision to boycott Eurovision over Israel's presence and broadcast an episode of Father Ted instead. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/12/gra…

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister x.com/votelewko/stat…

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister Not 75000 that figure has been completely discredited. And there’s this 👇 x.com/mboudry/status…

@hfereid @toadmeister 75000 people dead most of which innocent children and women. Journalists killed, hospitals levelled, settlers in the west bank forcing locals from their home aided by the IDF, I could go as far back as the Nakba, is this all fiction to you?

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister There is no colonialism or genocide.

@hfereid @toadmeister You do realise it's not anti Semetic to dislike Israel and their government and speak out against their almost 80 year genocide and colonialism

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister These scenes that you depict are from some time ago. Times change. However the antisemitism on show by Ireland is ongoing to this day.

@hfereid @toadmeister Yes I do but no point him getting on his high horse about a form of racism when he wrote these scenes into an episode 🤣🤣🤣

@Adamsoitis @toadmeister Do you know how comedy works?

@toadmeister Bit rich coming from a man who wrote these scenes into a TV show. No care for the Chinese and no care for the Jews making light of Nazis. He's a sad sad man infiltrated by the Israeli lobby.

@LFJIreland @Glinner Channel4 in UK features her and her sister in “Escape to Florida” - on this week!

It is hard not to view the Irish Times puffing up a woman who delights in mutilating minors in "trans" surgeries as anything other than deeply sinister. It is also hard to believe that they do not know of the girl who died as a result of her negligence in Indiana during and after a breast reduction operation. 👇 trellis.law/doc/216719846/… Is this the new type of poster child the Irish Times chooses to celebrate? Not a great look. As if they hadn't lost enough respect and credibility. 👇 archive.ph/2026.05.11-050…

@Glinner @RuadhanIT @IrishTimes They’re on the Channel4 show “A New Life in Florida” 😱

Jolly lifestyle interview with the woman who cuts off young American girls' breasts for cash. Shame on @RuadhanIT and every other groomer working at the @IrishTimes

BREAKING NEWS “Furious” Starmer was not told local elections had taken place yesterday. The PM claims civil servants kept him in the dark until this morning. He has ordered an enquiry into why the elections had gone ahead without his knowledge. “I thought we’d cancelled them” he told Sky News.

@ClarksonsFarm1 @HopeNotPC Cash

@AngelaRayner I wish they would as what we have at present is diabolical 🤷‍♀️

@DPJHodges But the powers that be are happy to put illegals into social housing areas and army barracks. Seems the lefty luvvies don’t want them after all?

One other thing. If Nigel Farage thinks he’s going to be able to build a migrant detention centre in the middle of Lewisham or Hackney he’s in for a nasty shock.

@sharrond62 @marcorobinson7 Just got a few things from M&S to cover 2 days as I’m moving house and all cook wear packed. It cost £48 - WTF 😬

Wow! Food is now by biggest monthly bill. And most of my kids are in their own places now! Thou I do feed the grand kids occasionally. How normal young families with 3 or more children cope I do not know.

@RoyalMail why can’t I do a mail redirection to a new property? I’ve registered the new address but it’s still not showing up. I’ve been able to order stuff & have it delivered to this new address yet you won’t let me manually complete the address on your website. What a joke!
