My uncle died from Polio in 1957. My beloved granny had to bury her two year old son.
She sat where his cot was every day until the day she died.
Polio was eradicated by vaccines.
I was delighted to get my booster today.

“Unskilled Work” is a myth!!
I say this as someone who has done bar work, housekeeping, restaurant/ functions, office admin and worked with kids.
A patronising and insulting term invented by those who have never done a hard days work in their privileged lives.

Disgraceful. This is a total insult to the people of South Armagh. A generous, kind hearted and proud community. Time to LISTEN to them. This is a clear demonstration of how we are viewed.

Lad, I was a public rep for 8 years. Good luck finding any examples of sectarianism on my part. Thanks to how my parents raised me, it’s not in my system to hate.

Judging by recent commentary, I still don’t think this simple notion has caught on. Women are human beings. We exist. Independently.
Not only is she someone’s mother, sister, daughter and friend...
SHE. IS. SOMEONE.
Let’s stop defining women’s worth by our relation to men.

Nice of you to finally notice us!🙄
Lots of people in the south popping up to care about our rights for the day.
Please do a bit of research first!
1. The denial of rights is the reason we have no assembly.
2. It is the DUP who have been denying said rights.
Not hard. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Good news for equality in Northern Ireland from today’s House of Commons vote. 🏳️🌈🌈
It’s a pity that the Executive and Assembly isn’t sitting in Northern Ireland to pass the law themselves.

And Louth announcing he’d be joining Derry in a press release! No official confirmation from Derry, but Mickey is the new manager. Remarkable

It’s ‘insincere’ & ‘politically motivated’ to give a platform to someone who opposes basic human rights for fellow citizens and thinks of others as “less than” in order to simply bash another political party.

• Keep your keys in your knuckles
• Plan a well lit route home
• No headphones
• Call a friend or at least pretend to
