Statement by: Madden & Finucane Solicitors, Belfast

A day where law and justice feel far apart. But criminal law really struggles to function at 53 years of remove, when so many witnesses are dead. Injustice was assured when it took this long for the state to recognise its wrongdoing and start proceedings: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.

Neil Pinkerton, the animal abuser with a leading role in the racist vigilante patrols in East Belfast, has yet again miraculously escaped prosecution following assault/theft charges being dropped by the PPS in the incident where a homeless man was beaten and his sleeping bag thrown in the Lagan.

NI Water should be prosecuted for pollution incidents, review finds

Starmer and the Met Chief Constable interfered in this case. That's a major red flag and public scandal, abuse of public office, and a collapse of the rule of law. When transphobes from Graham Linehan to JK Rowling and others are effectively granted immunity that's a problem.

Being slightly hungover here >>>>

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

So does eventbrite just not work at all anymore or what?

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

There's like a quarter mile of the ormeau road that smells consistently and strongly of dogshit right now what's going on

What happened to anyone who seriously threatened to reverse any part of the Thatcherite revolution? Who was it that enforced those penalties. There’s your answer, and there’s who is to blame.

The NI Justice Minister was questioned on the deployment of PSNI to London at the weekend. The glib response, lack of accountability and absence of strategy should sound alarm bells. We've included some of the Stormont transcript responses.

Keir Starmer’s spokesman asked about Israel detaining British citizens who were on the Gaza aid flotilla, while in international waters, replies that it is a “matter for the Israeli Government”

You never hear Doug Beattie say a 'firm hand' is needed for the people who actually terrorise Northern Ireland

Be very clear that this was about not only creating fear on English soil, but about 'blooding' officers from N. Ireland to commit mass arrest on Irish soil.

Soon you can have your sushi delivered by the same drones that shot toddlers in the head while they were scraping spilled flour off the ground

A lot of people grieve the years they lost to the first years of the pandemic, a time you had your entire life put on hold. Just imagine what it's like for Palestinians watching the calendar approaching 2 years of their people getting massacred daily. Imagine how absurdly long these 2 years feel.

My third "31 horror films in 31 days" podcast series begins tomorrow. It's called 31 Murders To Midnight and is available to subscribers of the patreon. I will talk about each film (or tv show or short, sorry) for 31 minutes. There will be five weekly episodes. It's good. patreon.com/sfultra

All capital I's should have serifs to distinguish them from lowercase l's

I am wearing a t-shirt that has Mickey and Minnie mouse doing lines on it and two separate people in two separate shops have asked if I work here. Startling indictment of my general vibe I guess.

Going to keep posting pics and vids of this because I've never seen this large a walkout at this level of diplomatic relations.

The News Letter with as many anti-trans articles in their Tuesday edition as the Belfast Telegraph, Mail, Times, Telegraph and Guardian on Monday and Tuesday combined.

Well, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 71st anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth

A statement from End Deportations Belfast on the state’s failure in its legal duty to prevent terror as we approach tonight's pre-announced far-right mobilisation. 'There is a legal duty on the state to prevent terror being flouted by the state..'

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...

On démarre la semaine avec une pépite : une planche originale de #NicoleClaveloux tirée de l'histoire "Le Père Noël truqué", publiée en 1977 dans Métal Hurlant. 👉 À redécouvrir dans l’ouvrage "Morte saison et autres récits".

I love early Twilight Zone's focus on chumps&losers. It's fairly consistent throughout, but especially in S1, the intro is always Serling going "look at this idiot, this heel of a dipshit. He's got a dick smaller than a Nazi's conscience, and he's going to get his ass kicked...in the Twilight Zone."

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Deeply respect and am usually envious of people who buy comics and books in languages they can't read but I'm in Prague and I've never been more glad not to roll like that, be flat broke already if I picked up even a fifth of the books that have caught my attention

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

It gets even crazier

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Also I was up another church with @apope.bsky.social and the fuckin fire alarm went off

I'm assuming we'll have vigilante groups patrolling outside scout meetings now and a big protest in Portadown... Oh no wait we won't because he's a middle aged white man who has lived here all his life just like the vast majority of men who are actually a risk to children and women.
