If you don't want the city centre of Belfast to further resemble a half dead shopping mall comprised of soulless chains, you can spend a minute of your time filling this survey out in defence of Yallaa who have been doing an unreal job running their cafe in 2 Royal Avenue. We've enough Starbucks.
Not notified at Parades Commission obviously.

To me - it was acting as a notified counter protest.
Did you get any photos of them?
The IWD rally makes its way towards city hall with women holding the purple and green Reclaim the Agenda banner. The march stretches behind them with hundreds in attendance.
Former Irish President, Mary Robinson, addresses the crowd from the stage.
A woman and young girl march together. The woman holds a sign reading "No Shame for Survivors - No Shamrocks for Abusers" and raises her clenched fist in the air. The young girl beside her holds up a placard reading "Rebel Girls make history".
Azadeh Sobout addresses the crowd from the stage.
Photos from today's IWD rally are up on the website nai.

Some of End Deportations Belfast at International Women’s Day in Belfast
Some of us had the banner out today. No Borders, especially on International Women’s Day.
Shut Down Larne House
Headline - Larne immigration centre: MLAs call for end to detention of pregnant women - Campaign letter has been signed by over 300 individuals including nine MPS and 35 local councillors
Our International Women’s Day 2026 Statement. We reiterate that no form of feminism is compatible with tolerance of immigration detention. In Larne House immigration detention centre, marginalised genders are incarcerated, degraded and harmed.

Ireland will remember what International Law is on or after 18th March.
I have good news and bad news about my friend Schrödinger's Cat...
And we're back there.
"I dread even saying this... but I think that we've ended up in the wrong place on trans, and we've done that by treading very self-consciously and not actually following our hearts, which is that trans people are on the margins, they are vulnerable. "If the Labour Party doesn't look after trans people, what are we about? "They're most likely to get beaten up. They're the ones who are most likely to have prejudice against them. We should not be indulging in anything that marginalises them even more."
Emily Thornberry’s words on Radio 4 in response to the Green win in Gorton and Denton.
This is why wins like this are so important, whatever you may think of the Greens (much like the immigration rebellion brewing).
By participation in Gaza genocide, silence on Nigeria, complicity in Venezuela and a complete abject failure to stand up for human life or international law in Iran - this is what Britain has created. Today's genocidal fascist expansionism is straight from the 1930s playbook.

'It’s estimated that around 300 Irish men and women would play their part in supporting the International Brigades.
To honour their service, the International Brigades Commemoration Committee will unveil a plaque with their names at the Falls Road library in late April.'
Sinking IRIS Dena under an undeclared conflict removes any combat necessity defense. Pure aggression under UN Charter Art. 2(4), GA Res. 3314, with UNCLOS and SOLAS violations for abandoning survivors
Torpedoing an unarmed ship, then leaving survivors to die, violates the Geneva Conventions, UNCLOS, the UN Charter, and the Rome Statute. All at once. The Trump regime claims no war exists, which makes this even more illegal. Calling it an 'operation' doesn't make it legal.
World U.S. submarine torpedoes Iranian ship in Indian Ocean, reportedly killing at least 87 sailors Attack off coast of Galle, Sri Lanka, set off rescue efforts Thomson Reuters Posted: Mar 04, 2026 6:36 AM PST | Last Updated: March 4 Listen to this article i Estimated 4 minutes Workers in Galle, Sri Lanka, on Wednesday unload the bodies of Iranian sailors from a vehicle, after they were killed when the IRIS Dena warship sank outside Sri Lanka's territorial waters. (Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)
An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

‼️ Today's speech by the Home Secretary marks the end of a week in which we've been drip-fed a series of hostile and cruel asylum policies.
Each one points in the same direction: further penalising and harming people who are simply seeking safety here.

From that well known radical newspaper.. the Financial Times.
Remarkable how England produces so many Blimpish empty-heads like Oakeshott. Each of them a screaming indictment of "public schools", surely.
Britain endorsing and arming genocide has got us here.
Peter Brooke NI SoS sings after an atrocity.
From Belfast, I should be desensitised to the monsters in Westminster. Atrocity after atrocity in a conflict they prolonged.. and they sang songs.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
This is absolutely stomach churning.
