Stop that.
Edamn life-loving, clog-clad, ratten-likken potheads.
This afternoon.
Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
A demonstration, organised by the right-wing National Party outside the Dáil against covid restrictions, is confronted by a group from a larger, left-wing counter-demonstration, supporting the government’s lockdown approach, who broke through a Garda cordon on Molesworth Street before being repelled.
Both sides wielded Irish tricolours, with the mostly-masked left-wing element also carrying EU Starry Plough flags. Neither group strictly observed any of the HSE’s social distancing guidelines during the melee.

According to TheJournal, it’s a “far-right conspiracy theory” that “Covid-19 death rates are being inflated as a way of justifying continued restrictions on the public.”
TheJournal says “Covid-19 was a factor in all of those 1,806 deaths”.

Varadkar:
“This was right approach but skewed the numbers. Priority is to save lives not look good in league tables.”
Is that clear enough? They skewed the numbers to “save lives”, by frightening people into accepting restrictions.

Um.
It is not about LEFT or RIGHT
Not about Immigration, race or religion.It’s about our Children, the elderly. Our jobs, our society and the TRUTH. It’s about our FREEDOM to live a normal life.
If you’ve asked yourself: “What can I do?”
The answer is simple

In this season of peace and joy, we – faith groups, trade unions, community groups, ordinary working women and men, children, families – are coming together on Saturday December 14, to sing and eat mince-pies in the spirit of the festive season, and to stand up for an Ireland where everyone feels safe and welcome, where we don’t give airtime to those who seek to divide us and where we can benefit from the richness that all cultures, and all people bring to this island we are proud of.

All parties and all people welcome. Fight Charlie Flanagan and Fine Gael’s attempt to control what we can and cannot say. No pretext is justifiable to limit speech, “hate speech” or otherwise.
Freedom of expression
You have a right to freely express your convictions and opinions (Article 40.6.1.i). However, the Constitution asserts that the State should try to make sure that the radio, the press and the cinema are not used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State. It also states that it is an offence to publish or utter blasphemous, seditious or indecent matter.
Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has said he would like to see new legislation on freedom of speech introduced next year.
A public consultation has been launched to update Ireland’s law regulating hate speech.
The consultation phase will run to 13 December, while a second phase dealing with hate crime will be published in the new year.
Mr Flanagan said it is important that our legislation in this area is fit for purpose.
There have been about 50 prosecutions under the existing hate speech legislation in the 30 years it has existed, with a handful of convictions.
The fear is the government will introduce hard-line legislation to prosecute political decent to the FG/FF governments that have caused such calamity across Irish society
