Same script, different frontman. Simon Harris using his Fine Gael Ard Fheis speech to claim the dole is “not a way of life” is straight out of the 2017 Leo Varadkar playbook. When leadership faces structural crises, the go-to strategy is to punch down.

Today, @thenerve_news publishes a landmark years-long investigation into what may be the biggest online influence campaign ever.
There is credible evidence Israel interfered in UK elections using Kate Middleton to spread anti-Muslim hate.
1/
EXCLUSIVE
Ads warning of a ‘Muslim invasion of Europe’ reached British screens before the 2024 elections and the Southport riots, and kept coming for 2 more years.
Meta and Google took the money, and the trail leads back to Israel, writes disinformation expert @marcowenjones🧵

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth.
The survivors have been living in tents for three years.
Those tents are now being flooded.
The West has condemned them to these apocalyptic conditions.
This abomination must end.

Had the unfortunate experience of accidentally listening to RTE Radio 1 - Brendan O'Connor - this morning where they had Gerry Howlin, @GerardHowlin, on giving his opinion on public sector pay deal.
He was demanding lay offs and "productivity" (***rollseyes***) from the public sector in exchange for a deal which, as offered so far, is a de facto pay cut for public servants.
Gerard was stating this from the plush studios of RTE, who he is employed by. Yep - That's the same RTE who received a €750 million bailout and still want more money.
Seems Gerard doesn't do irony.

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

Serious questions to be answered on how an event was allowed to be held in Kilkenny were organisers planned a 'face off' between Tommy Robinson and a boxer.
One security guard got stabbed.
Violence everywhere this guy goes, yeah he's in and out of Ireland unhampered. regularly
⚠️ Influencer Boxing Night in Kilkenny Collapses After Mo Deen Lunges at Tommy Robinson
A planned celebrity boxing card at The Hub in Kilkenny ended in cancellation Saturday night after Muslim influencer Mo Deen lunged from the ring at ringside activist Tommy Robinson, triggering an arena-wide brawl that forced officials to halt the show.
Mo Deen, a social media personality whose real name is linked to Mohammad Kubba, entered the unlicensed Unhinged Promotions 3 event as an undercard fighter. He faced fellow influencer MrTikTokUK and secured a stoppage after dropping his opponent three times. Immediately afterward he climbed out over the announcers’ desk, where promoter Harrison Sullivan (HSTikkyTokky) and co-owner Ed Matthews were speaking, and moved directly toward Robinson, who had been seated ringside watching the card.
Promoters then attempted to stage an in-ring face-off between the two. Robinson, the former English Defence League figure whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, responded by taunting Deen with a copy of his recent book on grooming gang scandals. Once the men closed distance they immediately went physical. The confrontation spilled into the crowd of several hundred young spectators. Chairs were thrown, security was overwhelmed, and the melee expanded across the venue floor. Officials required Sullivan to stop the event, cancelling the scheduled main event between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky.
The incident sits against a prior, unfulfilled matchup. Earlier in 2026 the pair had been booked for a Duel:Arena card in Florida in late August. Reports indicated Robinson signed a contract before withdrawing weeks out; the claimed six-figure purse was never independently confirmed by the promoter or Robinson. Deen has publicly framed the withdrawal as Robinson avoiding a prepared opponent. Saturday’s ringside sequence therefore occurred after months of public friction rather than as an isolated post-fight impulse.
Robinson has spent years documenting patterns of organized sexual exploitation of young women in British towns, work that has drawn both legal scrutiny and sustained public support from those who view the issue as under-reported. Placing a figure known for that record opposite a Muslim influencer inside a crowded, lightly controlled venue in Ireland produced the predictable flashpoint. The diverse local crowd made its hostility to Robinson audible before the face-off; the promoter’s decision to force proximity anyway converted that atmosphere into physical disorder. Property damage and the premature end of the card followed directly.
Such outcomes illustrate the practical limits of treating cultural and political incompatibilities as entertainment product. When one participant’s public record centers on documenting group-based sexual offending and the other’s presence is framed as opposition to that record, the resulting confrontation is not an aberration of “unhinged” branding. It is the foreseeable result of staging the clash in a setting without the controls that professional combat sports apply to prevent ringside attacks and crowd involvement. The Kilkenny cancellation supplies a concrete data point: once the first lunge occurred, the remainder of the program became impossible.

Imagine pouring four years of hard work into earning your degree, signing your employment contract, and quitting your job only to be told days before starting that your new role in the HSE has been abruptly "paused". That is the heartbreaking reality for Mayo healthcare graduates like Lucy Brennan and Mae Hession, who are now forced onto jobseeker’s benefit while frontline vacancies remain unfilled.
Following pay budget overspends, the HSE has tightened financial controls across four regions, creating what local representatives call a recruitment freeze in all but name. It’s a frustrating contradiction: as patient waiting times soar and millions continue to be spent on temporary agency staff.
The very nurses trained to heal our system are left with no choice but to look at emigrating to Australia or Canada. While health officials insist these controls are essential to restore budgetary discipline and protect patient care, affected workers are left completely in the dark without a clear timeline. Our young healthcare workers stepped up to serve. Isn't it time the country stood by them?

It comes as CSO data shows that more than 41 per cent of Irish 18 to 34-year-olds - 440,000 people - are still living with their parents, often in the homes they grew up in. because of high rent costs soaring house prices, and especially due to the country's severe and chronic housing shortage.

Did you know that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) violently targeted Irish immigrants in the USA during the 19th and early 20th centuries as they arrived in waves from the Great Famine onwards?
We were characterised as sub-human, violent, alcoholic disease spreaders (God forbid a time traveller has hobbies!) who relied on theft and charity to maintain their massive families. The Klan even questioned Irish people's "whiteness".
Cementing all this prejudice of course was religious intolerance. The KKK maintained that Catholics were an "unAmerican" enemy within, who swore loyalty to Rome and the Pope over the USA.
Labour tensions further stoked anti-immigrant sentiment against the Irish who were heavily involved in labour movements and often competed with native born workers for jobs, especially in industrialising cities.
By the 20th century, Irish Americans had started to gain economic and political influence, especially in cities and powerful institutions such as the police force. The KKK’s revival in the 1920s brought a focus on so-called “100% Americanism."
This blended with a wider nativist movement that influenced the U.S. immigration policies, such as the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. The Klan stoked popular fears the newly established Irish-Americans would erode Protestant influence over US institutions.

Schools and hospitals are frequent victims of cybersecurity incidents. Why? Because maintaining secure IT infrastructure is expensive, and schools and hospitals are underfunded in our societies, and prioritise their core function over cyber security.
Protecting our schools and hospitals from cyber security incidents can be done with policy. It is mainly a case of adequate, ring-fenced funding for trained IT staff, upgrading and updating IT infrastructure and ensuring readiness to patch critical vulnerabilities in a timely way. It is about maintenance, not cybersoldiers playing Quasar on the internet.
Whenever schools and hospitals get hacked - like the HSE ransomware hack in 2020 - "experts" are platformed by the media to vomit out war propaganda, scaring and misinforming the public into accepting the canard that governments have been "lax" on defence, that we are "sitting ducks" and that the public needs to start writing cheques to arms companies to fix it.
Meanwhile, Europe is already in a widening spiral of unprecedented defence spending, obeying decrees from Washington. The main beneficiaries of that spending are arms companies and other defence contractors. Where is the cash coming from? You guessed it. It's being stolen out of our pockets and our public services.
Not only does this mindset fail to make us safer, it actually makes us less safe, by channelling public funds out of investment in critical civilian infrastructure and shoveling them into the gaping maw of a notoriously corrupt, notoriously unproductive defence industry, parasiting on the state like a giant leach.

She Called The FBI In 1996. They Opened A File. Then They Told Her It Never Existed. She Spent 29 Years Being Called A Liar.
September 3, 1996.
A file is opened inside FBI headquarters.
Classification: child pornography.
The woman who made the call is identified only as "a professional artist."
She described photos she had seen inside a Manhattan mansion. She described the man who owned those photos. She described what she witnessed being done to young girls.
She gave them everything.
Then she waited.
Nobody called back.
Nine years later, a local detective in Palm Beach knocked on a different door. Found forty victims. Handed the FBI photographs, videos, and documented evidence of child trafficking across multiple states.
The FBI opened a formal investigation.
Two years later — they closed it.
One plea deal. Thirteen months. Out by noon every day on work release.
The trafficking continued. The FBI kept receiving tips. For eleven more years, women were brought to his island, his Manhattan townhouse, his private ranch.
For eleven more years — the file sat there.
It took a newspaper reporter to force the arrest in 2019.
Thirty-three days later, he was dead.
Now twelve women — listed only as Doe 1 through Doe 12 — are standing in federal court.
They're not suing his estate.
They're suing the FBI.
They want $100 million. And they want every internal document, every memo, every email showing exactly who received each tip — and made the decision to do nothing.
But here's the part that changes everything.
When the FBI's own internal review was published in 2020 — it didn't mention the 1996 complaint. Not once.
For another five years, the woman who made that call was told: your report doesn't exist.
In December 2025, the DOJ confirmed it did.
One page. Dated September 3, 1996.
Which means someone inside the FBI knew that file existed — and chose not to include it in their own review.
The question isn't whether the file was real.
The question is: who decided to make it disappear?

Never Forget the Story of Conor Clifford
Like many Irish footballers before him, he left home at 15 to join Chelsea. Dublin to London.
Conor was living the dream.
In 2010, he captained Chelsea to the FA Youth Cup, scoring the winner at Stamford Bridge. It was their first triumph in 49 years, and he called it “the best feeling in the world.”
He trained with the first team, and Frank Lampard took him under his wing.
Giovanni Trapattoni named him in his senior Ireland squads. The future looked bright.
Football is cut-throat. Loans followed at Plymouth, Notts County, Yeovil, Portsmouth and Crawley.
Nothing worked out. One new manager didn’t even know which foot he kicked with.
Chelsea released him in 2013. By 2015, he was in the Conference.
He admits getting caught up in the lifestyle, thinking the Ferraris and Range Rovers would last forever.
Each move knocked his confidence further, until he couldn’t see a way out.
“I’d fallen out of love with the game, I hated it. I hated life.”
Conor was suffering from depression. Friends and family urged him to seek help. In 2017, he returned home, signed for Dundalk and saw a psychologist.
He later admitted: “I should have come home earlier.”
For years, he kept everything to himself. That finally changed.
“Once I started talking, I couldn’t shut up.”
It’s a simple quote, but one of the most important parts of his story.
Later that year, he received a six-month ban for betting while in England.
He played at Limerick, St Patrick’s Athletic, Derry City and Bray Wanderers. At 27, Pat’s was his 13th club.
In 2021, he was a postman while playing amateur football.
Conor’s story is complex, but he’s said the best thing anyone struggling with depression can do is talk about it.
When he finally opened up, he felt a hundred times better.
Sometimes, admitting you’re not okay is the hardest thing. If you’re struggling, don’t keep it to yourself.
Talk to a friend, family member or someone you trust. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
It’s okay not to be okay.
