Jesus, this is fascism plain and simple .

RTÉ radio centre is literally a dump, falling apart, but they can waste money on silly new jingles.

The home of the brave, my arse.

Our daughter Eithne was in London for an audition for a musical theatre college. Alas she didn't get a place. As she wandered the streets of London waiting for her flight back to Belfast, she wrote this poem.

Great book, have it.

Every hour...

From Sarinagara by Philippe Forest.

I love this man.

The coolest pope ever channeling Dylan. I love it. He is a good man, a true moral voice calling out madness and evil.

This Pope is the man for the moment.

Mise fosta.

Hahaha!

Utter kakistocracy. Gobshites. Morons. It will all fall apart.

Best pope ever. And I'm a very lapsed Catholic.

Pope Leo is obviously a Dylan fan 'The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild,' Leo said.

Leo will win. Truth will prevail.

The Pope is on the side of Jesus, Trump and Vance, on the side of Satan. Simple.

The pope is the man for the moment. A true moral leader. Follow his example and good will prevail.

Genocidal nation supports genocidal nation. The USA needs a revolution.

Pope Leo rocks. He has more moral cojones than the rest of the world's leaders put together , all the presidents and prime ministers with their obfuscation. We are facing pure madness and evil, and the Pope is calling it out. He is a witness to truth, fearless. It is time to follow his example.

Exactly.

Really miss The Liverpool & The Rotterdam. Then there was The American Bar too.

Longbarrow Press are great.

Pope Leo is more than ready to take on Trump.

Look forward to it!

Hope you can join us! Looking forward to reading with Paul Perry and Mary O'Malley at Cúirt in Galway on 26 April. Tickets at this link: www.cuirt.ie/whats-on/poe...

The vast majority are just ordinary people with fuel prices as the issue. But some of the organisers complain about the government sending aid to Ukraine - definitely in the case of two of the spokesman.

sipping tea
in a bright green field
essence of poetry

deep
in a dark forest
sprinklings of white flowers

five beats to a line
by the kitchen fridge
a woman speaks a poem

small stones
in a poet’s hands
red and robin’s egg blue

The Blockade Is the Message How a Fuel Price Spike Became a Fascist Audition

Primarily rising fuel prices, rising cost of living, alienation from government - all being exploited by far right forces. This is a good analysis: forlouth.medium.com/the-blockade...
