@AlexKane221b It's shocking that ordinary people are so easily conned by Farage. He doesn't care a hoot for anyone else and deliberately uses hatred to gain support. A bad man lacking any morals.

We had everything did we? Children were being abused & molested by priests & nuns. Women were thrown into laundries their children stolen either sold on or buried in septic tanks. We had poverty & misery. Take off your rose tinted glasses or whisht.
Ireland nearly 100 years ago. We had nothing, but had everything. Remnants of this life could be seen in the Ireland I grew up in in the 1970s and 80s All now, sadly gone, it seems Irish cultural identity has become an embarrassment to the EU elites.

£49.18 is the standard weekly allowance for asylum seekers. It's reduced to £9.95 if meals are included with accommodation. You need a national insurance number to claim benefits or work. Asylum seekers do not have one. No free phone (or Ipads). Occasionally, sims, or recycled

In England and Wales, approximately 798,000 women are sexually assaulted or raped each year. It would be really good if all these men could stop talking about protecting women and work on educating their sons/brothers/friends/dads instead.

I think a lot of ignorance about disability comes because many simply cannot comprehend how many of us manage with the symptoms we have. They think we must be exaggerating. The truth is were nearly always doing the opposite. It's almost always worse than we say.

An amplified “preacher” outside Victoria’s Secret lingerie store in Donegall Place Belfast would give you a sore head. He is slabbering about “fornicators” and “homosexuals”! Wish he would pipe down. He is sooooo loud. He said he wants Muslims and Hindus to go. My response made

I got fired from my general practitioner last year that I’d had for years as a disabled person. Why? I asked them to refill my medication, and they reported me for drug abuse. Listen to disabled people when we tell you that we’re mistreated. A thread 🧵:

Don’t go outside at night, never walk alone, don’t park in the dark, go to the bathrooms in twos, never take a drink from a guy, carry mace, don’t wear revealing clothes, don’t flirt, don’t drink at a party...” Just a few of the rules women must follow to avoid being raped. 1)

“I know people claiming disability benefits who shouldn’t” No, you don’t actually. You *think* those people shouldn’t be, based on your own ignorance and prejudice. You don’t know their circumstances or support needs. You’re just projecting your ableism.

@JamieBrysonCPNI I saw wives of shipyard workers dying horrific deaths from mesothelioma in Belfast many years ago. Almost all working class loyalists. They got it simply by washing their husbands’ clothes. Please speak out to protect the young loyalists who are gathering at the site.
