14 British nationals were kidnapped in international waters by 'israel' and are being held in detention right now. Not a word from Starmer. When British nationals were abducted in October 2025, he said it was a 'matter for "israeli" government' Britain is an occupied state.

I work in retail. Shoplifting is pretty common. If caught, the people are barred from the store and reported to the gardaí. Security guards are a deterrent and have no authority to restrain anyone. Arnotts was extrajudicial murder and there must be justice

Just attended the vigil for Yves Sakila's death. To see the dignity of the poor mourners is quite something. “No more violence” they chant. To the Irish racists who have taken glee at this awful tragedy, you’re the absolute shame of Ireland.

The focus has been on traffic and transport at the Dalradian Gold mine inquiry in Omagh this week. The company says up to 70 HGVs a day won’t have an impact while there’s been no official assessment of impacts on schools. Here’s the story @TheDetailTV thedetail.tv/articles/no-of…

A Congolese man died in Dublin on Friday after he was restrained by several security guards in an alleged shoplifting incident – prompting widespread anger and calls for justice. Video of the incident showed several guards on top of Yves Sakila, 35, in Dublin city centre as he cried out in distress. At one point, a guard appears to kneel on his head or neck. He later appears to become unresponsive. Police are investigating. The footage has prompted comparisons with the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Local community members held a vigil on Tuesday, chanting “justice for Yves”. The Irish Council for Civil Liberties is demanding that the death be “swiftly, thoroughly and transparently investigated”.

I cannot get the image of Yves Sakila being killed out of my head. In broad daylight, by civilians. Sheer barbarism. Those who are seeking to justify it by allegations of shoplifting are devoid of humanity. At the prospect of lost profit, they view human life as expendable.

5 men used all their body weight to restraint one black man. As he was faced down, one continuously pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing. Happened in Dublin, Ireland. They’re under every post laughing and calling it the Irish George Floyd. Rest in Peace Yves Sakila.

A lynching of a black man in broad daylight on a Dublin's main shopping street and the usual industrial complex of online racist right wing hate celebrates it. The internationally funded fascist online conspiracy against Ireland itself gets ever sicker.

Israel killed every single child in this photo today in Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr, South Lebanon. Every. Single. One. 6 children. Murdered, alongside their parents.

🚨Trigger warning: This video contains distressing footage of restraint. The moment Yves Sakila, a 35-year-old Congolese man, was restrained in Dublin by several men for a number of minutes before becoming unresponsive and later dying. His family are now calling for justice.

@milliondollrbil @AgadezDino I'm already good at writing AND programming. If I spend some more time, my art gets better. But it's not fun to me to draw. It's fun to see the result. And I prefer to see a good result in around an hour than in more than a day. I'm 31 now. It would take at least some years.

Wind turbines are recycled, it’s not 2014 anymore. One of the internet’s favourite anti-renewable myths is “you can’t recycle wind turbines.” That argument is years out of date, yet the loons still try and use it as some sort of “got ya” to make themselves feel better. Modern wind turbines are largely recyclable already. Steel, copper, aluminium and concrete from turbines are routinely recovered and reused. Even the blades, which used to be the difficult part, are now being recycled into cement, construction materials, playground equipment and industrial products. Companies are also developing fully recyclable blades, with newer designs already entering the market. Meanwhile, fossil fuels are burned once and gone forever. Oil spills, air pollution and billions of tonnes of CO2 don’t exactly get “recycled.” No energy source is impact free, but pretending wind turbines just get dumped in landfill forever simply isn’t true anymore. Technology moves on. The myths just haven’t caught up.
